Create cute little owls out of your favorite breakfast foods to entertain and delight even your grumpiest early morning risers!
Do your kids get so bored with the same old breakfast every morning? If I hear one more complaint about oatmeal for breakfast I might lose it. Ok maybe not, but I have found that creating some fun little creatures out of our breakfast food gets my kids to eat in peace without complaints. Your kids are going to love Owl Rice Cakes because they’re cute, fun to eat, and easy to make.
I found a huge package of rice cakes at Costco. I mean it was huge. Not sure what I was thinking when I bought it but now I’m forced to find fun and creative ways to get my kids to eat them. Toast them and smear with cream cheese, Yes! Add some guacamole to the top for a mid day snack, yes! Create adorable woodland creatures on the top with nut butter and fruit, Absolutely!
If your kids love fancy face breakfast items as much as mine you should try this Silly Face Toast! They’ll love it.
How To Make Owl Rice Cakes
This recipe is so simple. You’re going to grab a rice cake (or pancake/bagel/toast/oatmeal) and cover it in a layer of nut butter. Then start decorating! I like to use bananas and blueberries for eyes, apple slices for wings, and Cheerios for the feathers. You can slice some melon or use more apples for the beak and feet. How cute are these?!
