I always need quick and easy breakfast options that provide my family nutrition on the go. These Banana and Berry Breakfast Cups are so moist with the banana baked in and slightly sweet with the touch of honey. Kids will love grabbing these on their way out the door to school. The recipe was created by Dole and inspired by ‘Mrs. Potts’ from “Beauty and The Beast”.
Dole has partnered with Disney to help parents encourage their families to make healthier eating choices. Families can now purchase DOLE Bananas, Pineapples, Salads and Vegetables adorned with characters from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” to create delicious, nutritious Dole recipes inspired by the Disney film- like this Spicy Banana and Shrimp Crepes Recipe.
These breakfast cups are an excellent addition to a Sunday meal prep program. Make a batch on the weekends and store in an air-tight container throughout the week. You can even change out the type of berry used depending on what is in season. It’s a versatile recipe. The breakfast cups will be fresh for five days and they are the perfect hand sized item to go.
