cinnamon honey syrup
The amounts for this are only determined by how much you want to make. I used a bit more than a half stick of butter, a big glob of honey and several shakes of cinnamon. Melt them all together over low heat and drizzle over hot waffles. Yum! You’ll be the most popular person in your house on Saturday morning.

Sneaky Chef cocoa chocolate chip pancakes
Ingredients
3/4 cups Flour Blend (equal parts white flour, whole-wheat flour, and wheat germ)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup Purple Puree (see Make-Ahead Recipe No. 1)
2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Butter or cooking spray, for greasing skillet
Preparation
Mix together Flour Blend, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside. (To store for instant cocoa pancake mix in the future, triple the dry ingredients and keep in a sealed, labeled plastic bag.) In another bowl, whisk together the vanilla, milk, egg, Purple Puree, honey (or maple syrup) and optional blueberries, if using. (If using frozen berries, don’t thaw them before adding; this will prevent bleeding.) Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones until just blended. (Don’t overmix.) Add a little milk if batter is too thick. Add the chocolate chips and mix lightly.
Butter or spray a large skillet over medium heat. Test the pan to see if it’s hot enough by tossing a few drops of water in — it should sizzle. The skillet will grow hotter over time, so turn it down if it starts to smoke. Drop tablespoons or small ladles of batter onto the skillet in batches. Try to get chocolate chips with each pancake. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the skillet-side of the pancake is golden (peek under), gently flip them over. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until pancakes are set.
Serve stacked high, dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with warm maple syrup, or, for an extra boost of fruit, homemade berry syrup.

breakfast cookies
SNEAKY CHEF’S BREAKFAST COOKIES
Nutrition Highlights: whole grains, calcium, and protein. Rich in vitamins B and E, iron, potassium, folic acid, calcium, tryptophan protein, and fiber.
2 cups whole grain cereal flakes (such as Wheaties or Total)
3/4 cup Flour Blend (1/4 cup white flour, 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, and 1/4 cup wheat germ)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 large egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
Cinnamon sugar for dusting*
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or spray with oil).
Using a rolling pin, gently crush the cereal (in a sealed plastic bag) into coarsely crushed flakes. Alternatively, you can quickly pulse the cereal in a food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Flour Blend, crushed cereal, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, oil, vanilla, and ricotta cheese. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just enough to moisten dry ingredients. Drop single tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheets, leaving about an inch between cookies. Flatten cookies with the back of a fork and then sprinkle tops generously with cinnamon sugar (or just sugar if your kids don’t like the cinnamon flavor). Bake about 18 to 20 minutes, or until nicely browned and crispy around the edges.
Makes 16 to 18 large cookies.
*Cinnamon has been found to help stabilize blood-glucose levels, thereby preventing the usual “crash and burn” feeling we all get after eating sweets.

french toast rollers
2 large eggs
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1/4 tsp each cinnamon and salt
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 Tbsp honey
1 1/2 Tbsp sweet potato baby food
1 1/2 Tbsp carrot baby food
4 slices of bread (ideally whole wheat)
Optional fillings:
1 Tbsp peanut butter + 1 Tbsp sweet potato or carrot or blueberry baby food (or other fruit spread)
1 mashed banana + 1 Tbsp sweet potato or carrot or blueberry baby food (or other fruit spread)
1 Tbsp light cream cheese + 1 Tbsp fruit spread
1. In a large, shallow baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, honey, and baby food or fruit puree. Set aside.
2. Use a rolling pin to roll out each slice of bread on a cutting board until flattened.
3. In a mixing bowl, mix the optional fillings. Spread about 2 Tbsp of the filling mixture on each flattened slice of bread, keeping about 1⁄4 inch away from the edges. Roll up each slice of bread, pressing to seal the edges.
4. Dip each log roll in the egg mixture until saturated on all sides, then cook in a well-greased skillet over moderate heat, turning to brown each side. Remove from heat and lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving.

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Glaze:
egg white, slightly beaten
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Add the butter and cut into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives to make a coarse meal. Add the diced apple and stir with a spoon until all the apple pieces are coated with the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl blend the egg and the buttermilk together with a whisk or fork.
Combine the dry and wet ingredients, and mix them together just until blended. Use a rubber spatula to slice into and turn the ingredients.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead lightly, roll dough 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick and cut into rounds with a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, carefully kneading and rerolling the scraps as necessary. Put on an ungreased baking sheet about an inch apart and brush with the slightly beaten egg white.
