Mickey’s Magic Morning Waffles
Serving size: 1 waffle, recipe below makes 4
1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for extra fiber)
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk)
2 large eggs
2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce (adds natural sweetness)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional toppings: fresh berries, banana slices, nut butter, or a drizzle of honey
Why They’re Magical:
Whole-grain and naturally sweetened to help support balanced blood sugar
Packed with fiber and protein to keep energy steady for little adventurers
Fun Mickey shape makes breakfast feel like a Disney adventure while supporting healthy metabolism
Instructions:
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed (double check for your specific iron). Pour batter onto the iron (about ½ cup per waffle, depending on size) and cook until golden brown.
Serve warm with your favorite healthy toppings—berries, yogurt, or a little nut butter for extra magic!

Belle’s Bites: Enchanted Energy Snacks
**This is our pack-ahead Disney park favorite!!
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup almond or peanut butter (or sunflower seed butter for nut-free)
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips (optional)
¼ cup finely chopped dried fruit (like cranberries or raisins)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp chia or flax seeds (optional, for extra nutrition)
Notes:
Using sunflower seed butter makes it nut-free while keeping healthy fats.
Adding chia or flax seeds boosts fiber and omega-3s.
Mini dark chocolate chips add a touch of sweetness with less sugar than regular chocolate.
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix the oats, chocolate chips, dried fruit and seeds (optional).
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the nut butter and honey/maple syrup until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the warm mixture over the oat mixture and stir until everything is coated.
Scoop small balls (about 1 inch) and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
