For the berry syrup I brought raspberries & blueberries into a pot, added 3 cups of water, 3 tbsp of honey or 1 tbsp of vanilla extract & 1 cup of white sugar to balance out the acidity. I brought it to a boil on low/medium heat (covered) for 20 mins. Once it is boiling on low/medium heat, stir and make sure it is not dry or sticking to the pot, if it is add 1 more tbsp of water💧 Let it cool for 10 mins & place a strainer on top of a big bowl, add berry syrup to the strainer. Throw out all the excess on the strainer and only keep the liquid of the syrup in your bowl.
❌Avoid using excess water or it will not have the consistency of syrup.
💡For the captain crunch pancakes, add only the colorful captain crunch balls into your pancake mix & some vanilla extract for extra flavor.
💡I use krusteez pancake mix and add 1 egg, milk, water, melted butter, vanilla extract for regular pancakes. They come out super fluffy🤍
If you are on a tight budget, Krusteez pancake mix only requires water! 🙂🤍
I use the extra ingredients for extra nutrients since my toddler isn’t a big eater.
As busy parents, finding nutritious meal ideas for toddlers can be a challenge. This week, I prepared delicious options like Captain Crunch pancakes, homemade cheeseburgers, and healthy vegetable options. Pancakes are a favorite, and adding berry syrup made from fresh raspberries and blueberries adds both flavor and nutrients. Creating colorful meals helps keep toddlers engaged with their food! For lunch, I made alphabet soup, a fun way to teach letters while nourishing your child. Incorporating seasonal veggies like Mexican squash provides necessary vitamins. Don't forget about dinner options! Dishes like cilantro lime rice paired with carne asada or pasta in Alfredo sauce keep mealtime exciting. When cooking for toddlers, focus on balancing flavors with nutrition. Simple recipes can easily involve your little ones for a fun cooking experience. Always look for opportunities to introduce new foods, increasing the variety of nutrients they receive while enjoying mealtime.
Sometimes I think my toddler meals are more put together than my own 😂
