5 minutes easy Children's Day recipes for busy parents

Pancake skewers

Who says breakfast can’t be fun? Pancake skewers are here to prove you wrong. Grab a pancake mix (because time is precious) and cook mini pancakes. Skewer them with fresh fruits like strawberries, bananas, or blueberries, drizzle some maple syrup or honey, and bam! You’ve got a healthy breakfast that looks way more complicated than it is. Plus, your kid gets to eat with their hands—so it’s a win-win.

Rainbow veggie wraps

Call it “Superhero Fuel” and your little one will eat veggies like they’re candy. Grab a whole wheat tortilla and spread a layer of cream cheese or hummus. Add colourful veggies like shredded carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, and spinach, roll it up like a burrito, and slice into bite-sized pieces. Not only will this keep your kid’s energy up, but it’ll also give them a taste of the rainbow—literally!

Cheesy veggie quesadilla

When you’re short on time but want something cheesy and satisfying, go for a veggie quesadilla. Throw a tortilla on a pan, sprinkle it with cheese and finely chopped spinach or zucchini (sneaky veggie points!), fold it, and toast until crispy. Serve it with a side of salsa or sour cream, and watch your kid devour it like a little food critic.

Fruit and yoghurt parfait

Need a snack that’s as sweet as it is healthy? A fruit and yoghurt parfait is the perfect fix. Layer Greek yoghurt with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, and granola. It’s like dessert without the sugar rush, and your kid will love being able to dig into the layers.

DIY pizza bagels

Who needs delivery when you’ve got pizza bagels? Grab some mini bagels, top them with tomato sauce, shredded cheese, and whatever toppings your little one loves (pepperoni, olives, or even pineapple!). Pop them in the oven for 10 minutes, and you've got a personal pizza that’ll make your kid feel like a master chef.

Fruit kabobs

Take your fruit game up a notch with fruit kabobs! Cut up fruits like watermelon, pineapple, grapes, and strawberries, and skewer them onto sticks. Let your kid assemble their own kabob for a fun and interactive snack. It’s healthy, colourful, and gives you time to finally sip that coffee while they snack.

Chocolate dipped banana pops

For a treat that feels like an indulgence but is secretly healthy, dip banana slices in melted dark chocolate and freeze them. The combination of sweet and healthy is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, and you get to feel good about sneaking in some fruit.

There you have it—seven super-quick, fun recipes that will make Children’s Day unforgettable without leaving you stuck in the kitchen for hours. Plus, they’re all so easy that even your littlest chef can help out! Now go ahead, embrace your inner superhero, and make this day one for the books.
