Recipe of the Day- Breakfast Cake in a CUP!

So, I might be a bit hungry this morning.  I love to try new recipes, especially with my kids.  



Kids love MUGS.  I mean, think about it... I have my five year old, she is super picky...I mean it too!  Who does not like chicken noodle soup...you guessed it..her!  But, I put that dang soup in a mug and guess what..instantly, it's super cool and she will take it, drink it and eat some noodles (on a good day!).  



It's like some Mom code

"give the kids a mug and they will eat..."


So, we tried our version of the Breakfast Cake in a cup- who does not like cake?  



Yea, no hands raised here - sweets are liked!!! 



We had some browning bananas that we added in and wah...lah!  We had a treat in our mug this morning!

Try this:
