Nutritious Fairy Bread

Treating your kitchen like a science lab is a great way to get your kids or significant other involved in the prep process of your new, favorite recipes.

Let them experiment with flavors, and you can find some terrific ways to alter existing recipes.

For instance, instead of traditional frosting for this recipe, we created a mix of avocado and cream cheese, along with lemon juice to keep the avocado from browning, and garlic powder.

This magical concoction becomes a savory spread instead of an overly sweet topping, and the addition of avocado results in something nutritious with a buttery consistency.

Side note: Consider using avocado in other recipes that call for large amounts of butter or mayo.

For this updated recipe, we’ve taken the original base of old, white bread and substituted with more nutritious wheat bread.

However, as we’re experimenting here, try it with a multigrain or oatmeal bread.

Fun and Yummy for All

Grab your helpers and get set to do some decorating! Our original fairy bread called for some fun, colorful sprinkles.

Fear not, this fairy bread isn’t sacrificing any of the fun in the pursuit of nutritious alternatives.

We’ve taken fiber-rich chia seeds in one bowl and candy-coated sunflower seeds in another to create some Superfood Sprinkles.

It’s fun to create a story around these decorations, so let your more skeptical little ones believe the chia seeds are the magic fairy dust that makes those colorful sunflower seeds sweet.

Serve with a mug of fairy moon milk!
