French Toast
We don't normally have ciabatta bread in the house but we had some leftover from another dish so I decided to make French toast with it. This bread was perfect for French toast, I'll never use any other (healthier) bread to make it again. I used the recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance which has besan/chickpea flour in it. Served with bananas and maple syrup = indulgent breakfast!
Overnight Oat Parfaits
These are so fun, healthy and convenient for breakfast. Just mix up some oats, chia seeds, sweetener and anything else you'd like to throw in like dried fruit or nuts, put it in the fridge and it's waiting for you in the morning to serve with fruit. I always have visions of a sophisticated parfait with perfect layers as pictured here but it usually ends up in mild chaos like this:
Chocolate Covered Apricots
This seems like such a
simple idea but they are so delicious! The chocolate kind of changes the
taste of the apricot. It reminded me a bit of cherry ripe for some
reason. This idea is from Vegie Head.
The funny story about these: I'm always trying to get Sylvia to eat dried apricots. She
doesn't mind them, but usually just has a nibble and loses interest. I
thought coating them with her favourite thing, chocolate, would entice
her but when she was helping me make them she ate about 4 plain apricots, tried a chocolate coated
one, sucked off the chocolate and spat out the apricot! Lesson: never
use logic with a toddler...
