Easy Mother’s Day Breakfast Recipe for Kids to Make

by Rebecca Wilson

Mother’s Day is this Sunday! I love receiving gifts that my child has made but who would not also want a morning off from cooking?

I started digging for recipes that children could make for their mothers for Mother’s Day. A lot of them were things that my five year old just would not be able to handle. Things like French toast and Cheesy Eggs.

Yes, I am a fan of both of those things, but would I want to wake up to a royal mess in my kitchen on Mother’s Day with him trying to make this for me? NO.

I found a really easy Mother’s Day breakfast recipe for kids to make on their own. Now, granted my son is five years old and should probably not be operating the toaster or even a knife alone. There are safety hazards to something like this. Enlistment from Dad or other adult supervision besides Mom would be required.

Here is the best recipe for non-disaster in the kitchen that I could find for a little man or woman to make for their mother on Mother’s Day:

I Heart You Toast

The directions for this are pretty simple. These are the items that you will need:

• 2 slices of bread
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• About 1/4 cup fresh blueberries or other berries
• 2 tbsp cup light strawberry or raspberry jam

Seems pretty easy and basic right? Here are the directions:

1. Toast bread slices – young kids will need a grown-up to watch the toaster. Spread about 1 tablespoon of light cream cheese over the entire top of each piece of toast using a plastic knife.
2. Make a heart in the center of the toast using about 1/8 cup of fresh blueberries for the outside of the heart, on each piece of toast.
3. Spoon jam into the middle of the heart.

 

So simple and I would love to wake up to something like this made for me by my little one! Even if the heart were not perfect or the toast were burnt, I would know that it was made for me with love and that I was the only one that he was thinking about when he made it.

Happy Mother’s Day!
