Fall recipes for kids

Not only is it so much fun to spend time in the kitchen together. There are so many lessons that your little ones can learn while they are helping you make something delicious. Math, fine motor skills, expanding their sensory vocabulary. 

Banana and pumpkin muffins

Thanks to the global pandemic, we’ve all got our banana bread recipe down. Time for a fall-inspired upgrade. Swap out half your bananas for pumpkin puree. Add a little pumpkin spice to the batter if you want to up the fall flavor. For picky eaters, stick to a plain version.

Pumpkin French toast

Give your breakfast a fall feeling with these tasty toast fingers.

  1. Slice your bread into 1-inch square fingers. (Tip: a nice dense bread that is not too fresh works best!)
  2. For the dipping mixture, whisk 4 eggs, 2/3 cup of milk, ½ a cup pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice.
  3. Soak the bread fingers in the egg mixture.
  4. Place the eggy fingers in a warm pan and fry for about two minutes on each side or until golden.
