Nice Granola Fruit Pizza

I'm a big proponent of getting kids inwards the kitchen at an early on age. I intend it cuts downward on picky eating, too also, it gives them a amend appreciation of food. I was thinking most when the concluding fourth dimension I fifty-fifty cooked for a kid was, too I don't intend it's been since when I was inwards high schoolhouse when I used to babysit a identify unit of measurement of 5 kids that lived downward the street from me.

The extent of the cooking I did for them wasn't fifty-fifty around "gourmet." All they wanted to swallow was hot dogs too sauerkraut (yes, they were German). I started cutting their hot dogs to aspect similar octopus, too they idea it was the coolest affair ever.

But I experience similar today's era of children would ringlet their eyes at my octopus hot dogs. They grew upward alongside Pinterest moms, too they aspect their nutrient to live on exciting. That's why I wanted to come upward up alongside a dish that was non exclusively tardily to make, but also colorful too pretty too.



I intend I actually nailed it alongside this granola fruit pizza.

The crust requires simply a few ingredients, too you lot don't remove to bake it. The element measurements don't remove to live on extremely precise, thus your kids tin plough over notice larn exercise measuring too patting the crust downward into the cake pan.

As you lot tin plough over notice see, I made a rainbow pattern alongside fruit on the pizza, but you lot tin plough over notice purpose anything to decorate it. I advise setting out a diversity of ingredients inwards bowls (like chocolate chips, shredded coconut, sprinkles, nuts, fruit) too allow the kids limited their inventiveness past times deciding what to position on top.

I served this Granola Fruit Pizza for my FOX59 segment on National Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day. I also shared 2 other kid-friendly treats: Banana Sushi too Apple Slice Doughnuts.

The Banana Sushi is simply a banana wrapped inwards a tortilla that's covered alongside peanut butter. Slice it upward thus it looks similar sushi. I drizzled melted peanut butter too sprinkled Fruity Pebbles on occur for decoration.

Apple Slice Doughnuts root alongside apples sliced most 1-inch thick on their side. Just cutting correct through the core. Then purpose a melon baller to scoop out the centre thus it looks similar a doughnut. Cover each apple tree while alongside either cream cheese, nut butter, or chocolate too then decorate alongside sprinkles or chocolate chips thus they aspect similar doughnuts!
