🍞🤔 Did you know that for every loaf of bread eaten, half a loaf is thrown away in households? Explore creative ways to repurpose leftover bread into new plant-based treats like Grandma Sita’s yummy breakies, which are good for your budget as well as your health and that of the planet. Win-win-win!
🌱🍪 Grandma Sita had a lot of fun baking plant-based breakies made from leftover bread, brown bananas, and some fruit with the kids and parents of Forældrenes Børneklub in Copenhagen, DK.
🤗 All children were welcome with their parents or adult companions, generating a space for intergenerational cooking. Grandma Sita encourages families to cook and eat more fruits and veggies as a fun activity for kids at home. Win-win!
😉 Why the name of breakies? A mix between Brea(d) and (coo)kies is Grandma Sita’s plant-based creation that helps you run out of stale leftover bread and brown bananas and is the perfect in-between healthy snack. And ready, set, and bake! Full plant-based recipe here 👉 http://www.sita-nena.com/breakies/

👵💚 Grandma Sita’s tips:
*Breakies can be frozen after you have shaped them into balls. Let the balls thaw for approx. half an hour before baking them.
*Instead of blueberries, change them depending on seasonal fruit and check your pantry or cupboard shelves for chocolate chunks, nuts, and seeds that can be added as well.
*Brown (overripe) bananas are a fantastic ingredient for plant-based baking. Bananas can replace eggs in some recipes and work especially well to achieve a moist result. To use bananas as a substitute for eggs, replace one egg with one ripe, mashed, or pureed banana. And ready, set, and bake! Check out some plant-based recipe ideas for you to try
