5 recipes to ease into the back-to-school season

(BPT) - Fall is here and so is the back-to-school season. This is a busy time of year for families, and breakfast can often be forgotten in the hustle and bustle of weekday mornings.

To help you make your mornings brighter and your taste buds happier, KitchenAid, the #1 mixer brand in the world¹, offers five delightful recipes to keep your family fueled all morning long. These flavorful breakfast creations are perfect for busy mornings as well as cozy weekends.

1. 4-Ingredient Banana Pancakes

When you need a quick, no-fuss breakfast, try this four-ingredient banana pancake recipe. All you need is bananas, eggs, almond flour and sour cream.

Use the KitchenAid Go™ Cordless Hand Mixer to quickly combine the ingredients. With up to 60 minutes of continuous runtime² and no cord getting in the way, you can mix your ingredients at the counter, table or anywhere in the kitchen.

You can easily make this simple yet tasty breakfast recipe during a busy school and workweek in about 25 minutes!

Pro-tip: Use ripe bananas with lots of brown spots. They're easier to mash and create much more flavorful pancakes.

2. Cherry Cream Cheese Breakfast Pastries

Cherry cream cheese breakfast pastries are a great breakfast item you can enjoy hot or cold. The pastries take about 40 minutes to make, so you can bake them in the morning or prep the night before and warm them in the oven before school and work.

Use the KitchenAid® Stand Mixer, a must-have for cooking and baking, especially for busy families. This 5.5-quart bowl-lift stand mixer offers professional-style performance, 11 speeds (including 1/2 speed) and is compatible with over 10 attachments (sold separately), so you can fold, knead, mix, shred or beat whatever ingredients you need.

Serve the pastries for breakfast or Sunday brunch, or pack them for lunch as a sweet treat for your kids (or yourself!).

3. Banana Bread

Banana bread is a classic breakfast item that can be enjoyed as part of a complete breakfast, on its own or as an accompaniment to your coffee. Like banana pancakes, you'll want to use ripe bananas for a more flavorful bread.

Combining the ingredients takes little time when using your Stand Mixer flat beater attachment. Because the banana bread takes over an hour to bake, it's best to make them during the weekends. The recipe makes 24 servings, so you can easily make, bake and freeze the banana bread so your family can enjoy it all week long.

4. Waffles

Waffles are a timeless breakfast, and it's easy to see why. They're quick to make (about 20 minutes) and are infinitely customizable. Gather your family's favorite toppings like chocolate syrup, maple syrup and whipped cream. Don't forget to offer fresh fruit like blueberries, sliced strawberries or bananas!

Using your Stand Mixer or KitchenAid Go™ Cordless Hand Mixer, you can quickly and completely combine the ingredients before pouring the resulting batter into the waffle maker. You can save even more time by making the batter ahead of time and refrigerating it so all you have to do on a busy morning is to cook the batter in the waffle maker.

5. Pumpkin Muffins

Make the back-to-school season easier and celebrate the arrival of fall with pumpkin muffins! This is also a great recipe to try using your KitchenAid Go™ Cordless Hand Mixer and Stand Mixer to complete different tasks.

In your Stand Mixer, beat wet ingredients and sugar together. While the ingredients combine, use your KitchenAid Go™ Cordless Hand Mixer to combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. After combining the wet and dry ingredients, toss in cranberries for a sweet and sour taste before pouring the batter into muffin tins lined with cups.

Once baked, you'll have about 16 servings to enjoy right away or warm up the next morning.

Pro tip: Try adding cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg to spice up muffins. Pumpkin has a sweet yet demure flavor that combines well with spices.

Let these five delicious breakfast recipes inspire you to add a creative and tasty twist to your morning routine this back-to-school season, throughout the fall and year-round. For more recipes, visit the KitchenAid page on Yummly.com.
