(NC) - Well-nourished students perform better in school. Yet, 31% of elementary school and 62% of secondary school students do not eat a healthy breakfast daily. Help ensure children and youth receive the proper nutrition they need for healthy development.
A good day begins with a good breakfast, like this delicious recipe from the Canadian Living Test Kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 2-1/4 cups (550 mL) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
- 1 tsp (5 mL) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and nutmeg
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (250 mL) plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) grated orange rind
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) each orange juice and vegetable oil
- 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) fresh blueberries
Directions:
In large bowl, stir flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, orange rind and juice and oil; pour over dry ingredients. Sprinkle with blueberries; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Spoon into greased or paper-lined muffin cups, filling to top. Bake in centre of 375 F (190 C) oven until golden and tops are firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. Let cool in pan on rack for 2 minutes. Transfer to rack and let cool completely.
