Streamline Your Mornings: Make Ahead Breakfast Ideas (A Mini Series)

Presenting: Sweet Spinach Muffins with Banana

Imagine a weekday morning when you can wake up, chop up some fruit or warm up sausage, then pull these out of the freezer and breakfast is set. Or just keep them for snack time for yourself or your kids. Life is so much easier when you don’t have to (fully) cook 3 meals a day.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sliced ripe banana (about 2 small or 1 medium/large)

• 2 cups lightly packed baby spinach

• 3/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plain nondairy)

• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

• 2 tablespoons melted and cooled butter (OR neutral oil OR plain yogurt)

• 2 eggs (if you need to omit the eggs, increase banana to 1 ½ cups)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup rolled oats

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/8 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup whole-wheat flour

• Mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients into a blender (except flour and chocolate chips).

2. Blend until very smooth.

3. Add the flour.

4. Pulse in the flour to combine.

5. Pour batter into muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ cup full. Sprinkle with chocolate chips if using.

6. Bake until firm to the touch and lightly browned around the edges.

Short Reads, Big Gains

For obvious reasons, here are some great Christian alternatives to Ms. Rachel you can feel good (and save) about.

1) Holy Sprouts with Ms. Amy: “This channel is dedicated to teaching little ones about God & His love while making education fun. We provide simple & enjoyable lessons for young minds, blending Bible-based teachings with interactive content.”

2) Little Acorns with Ms. Lettie: “Join Ms. Lettie in songs, Bible verses, and fun activities for toddlers and babies! The purpose of these videos is to cultivate a love and devotion to Jesus and his word. In doing so, our little acorns will grow up into Oaks of Righteousness that stand firm and steady in The Lord.”

3) Miss PattyCake: “Miss PattyCake is a brightly costumed character who uses music to teach little ones about God, Jesus and the Bible. She offers early childhood education with a Christian world view.”

Note: This is not the first time Ms. Rachel shows public support for the LGBTQ+ agenda on Prime Month. She had a public Pride Month post in 2023 and has even invited openly and widely known trans man, Dylan Mulvaney, to her show. In response from backlash from parents, she quoted Matthew 22 on a separate post.
