Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'm wondering now how I could cut back on some of the baked goods. The kids eat pancakes or muffins for breakfast. Two of them will eat eggs -sometimes, but even two-three scrambled is not enough. They are hungry. The chicken pancakes were not going over. I've been baking cookies & such for desserts but I limit to one serving each. Breakfast is the main issue I guess with baked goods. I give in to them readily so it's a problem for feeding my sugar cravings. The only fruits tolerated at the moment are baked apples & ripe bananas(which I also must limit). Baked pears brought on a yeast flare up. I haven't tried any other fruits. I am also still needing help in getting the goat yogurt into my autistic son (I've posted about that here). It's a major issue becz I really feel he needs it for healing but how to get it into him is another story. Can I bake it into something; pancakes, muffins etc? (but then that's more baked goods...).

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 The banana pancakes are just banana and egg cooked in butter. If you are not doing dairy, you can clarify the butter by melting it slowly. Then pour the top layer of oil in a container and discard the milky stuff on the bottom. Also, I sneak the yoghurt in with homemade applesauce. At first it was mostly applesauce but now it is about half and half. You can bake with the yoghurt for taste but the heat kills the helpful cultures which defeats the purpose - healing. Hope that helps le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under " Pancakes " at http://www.pecanbread.com/recipes/sneakyveggiepancakes.html If they like them you can cook up a huge load of veggies and freeze the amount you need for each batch to cut down on your prep time. > I am also still needing help in getting the goat yogurt into my > autistic son (I've posted about that here).

If you bake it, the heat will kill the good bacteria. If they like homemade applesauce you can cook the sauce til thick, cool it and then add some dripped yogurt. The dripping will remove much of the tartness and the applesauce will sweeten it. You could also mash or whip it up with some ripe bananas. Both of these could be dolloped on top of pancakes (sneaky veggie?) oe between pancakes to make a little pancake sandwich - my son loves this because he can pick it up.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 If you bake it, it would lose the probiotic effect because the heat would kill the good bacteria. It might get him used to seeing it though...or tasting it?

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Even clarified butter makes my baby & I react badly. My autistic son won't eat applesauce.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I managed to sneak it onto a zucchini muffin this morning, with honey. He was hungry enough so he ate it. But he did eat a few muffins (baked goods) along with eggs. Michele > > If you bake it, it would lose the probiotic effect because the heat would > kill the good bacteria.

I take a large cooked acorn squash and put the squash and two eggs in the blender with a tablespoon of honey and a dash of cinnamon (these could be optional). I blend it until it is smooth. I put a tsp. of this into a mini muffin pan. I just bought 2 " 24 " muffin pans for cheap at Target and I already had one, so I make more than one batch and freeze some to last us through the week. One batch usually makes about 60 little " squash buttons " as we call them at our house. I bake them at 300 degrees for about 30 to 40 minutes. I usually look for them to be browning a little and pulling away from the sides of the pan. You could probably fill the cups a little fuller, but then they are softer and mushier in the middle. The way I do it they come out like flat little buttons, and they aren't too eggy or soft which he would not eat. He eats them cold or I toast them in my toaster oven. These are great finger food snacks I send to school with him also. They could be made with butternut squash too. I am planning on trying to make little spinach ones also, I'm not sure if he will eat them since they will be green, but I'm going to try. We haven't started with the nutbutters or nut flours, so I am trying to find ways to give him the bread type things in other ways. Hope this might be an option for you.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Thank you so much for this idea! I, too, have been struggling with what to feed my kids period. They love the almond flour muffins and the pancakes. But I noticed ever since I started feeding them almond flour that their BMs are no longer dark in color and well formed. They are mushy and light brown. I have worried about this and keep telling myself I am going to take some the muffins and pancakes out for a while to see how things improve but did not have good idead of what else to give them for breakfast. I do have to be careful about eggs also. I am trying to rotate them every other day. My two guys do not like meat much. Do you have any other good ideas for 2 1/2 year old picky eaters?
