Banana Breakfast Pizza PLUS Great Prizes from Chiquita

Special thanks to Chiquita for sponsoring today’s post and to the Mom It Forward Blogger Network for providing information included in today’s post.

I’m a banana fanatic. You might have noticed that I incorporate them into a LOT of my recipes because not only are they good for you, but kids usually love them too. They’re my favorite way to thicken up a smoothie and whenever I add banana slices to a PB & J sandwich, my kids act like I’ve just presented them with the world’s greatest culinary materpiece. Bananas are also a healthy alternative to butter in baked goods. Today I’m sharing a recipe that combines this family favorite ingredient with another favorite food – pizza. Whaaaat? That’s right! I’m going to show you how to make a Banana Breakfast Pizza. Not only will the kids love it, but it’s also super easy to make.

Banana Breakfast Pizza

I’ve learned a couple of tricks from my husband over the years. He somehow gets the kids to do things, not only without having to yell or reprimand, but also in a way that convinces them that they are having fun. It turns out, the key to manipulating raising children is all in the words you use. What I call “chores,” my husband calls “party.” Voila! Cleaning the house becomes fun. So, instead of presenting my kids with “fruit-topped waffles,” I created “banana pizza.”

I guess I could have just strewn a few banana slices on top of the waffle, but I really wanted to sell the “pizza” image (plus, I wanted to sneak in some protein and prevent them from dousing the entire thing in syrup) so I used natural peanut butter as the sauce and added honey as another topping. Also, in an effort to keep this dish as healthy (but also easy) as possible, I used frozen whole-wheat waffles. There are several brands to choose from, just remember to read the ingredients list since some “whole wheat” waffles can be made of mostly enriched flour with a side of whole wheat flour.

Banana pizza is equally good as a snack. It’s full of ingredients that fuel you AND stave off hunger for hours. I love the combination of sweet and salty.
