Fun Gluten Free Kid Lunch Idea

Banana Dog in a Bun!

 

You Will Need: 

1 Gluten Free hot dog bun
1 tablespoon peanut butter (or cream cheese)
1 tablespoon strawberry or other jam (or honey, if preferred)
1 whole banana
(Optional)
Raisins, shredded coconut or chopped peanuts

 How to make it:

Spread one inner surface of a split Gluten Free hot dog bun with peanut butter or cream cheese. Spread the other side with jam or honey. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in your child's lunch bag. Also, pack a whole banana (in the peel) and a small container of toppings, such as raisins, coconut, peanuts or whatever else you can think of.
 
At lunchtime, your child can peel the banana and place it in the bun, sprinkle on the toppings and eat.
 
These ingredients also make a great breakfast. Instead of using a bun, use a Teff wrap or a Gluten Free Tortilla. Warm the Tortilla and add the ingredients. I have found that slicing the banana down the middle makes it easier for a morning breakfast wrap. We have also added Udi's natural granola in the mix for a wonderful flavor and texture.
 
This idea originated from a post by Spoonful.com by Disney but made Gluten Free so all children can enjoy.
