- Hey, Munchies, I'm Alyssia.
Welcome to the channel.
If your new or if you're not,
I am so glad you're here either way.
Today, I have got some delicious breakfast recipes for you.
My favorite meal of the day.
I am sharing some pumpkin cardamom waffles,
orange blossom breakfast muffins and even
a breakfast popsicle.
I have teamed up
with one of my favorite partners,
Sunsweet, to bring you this video today.
And all of these recipes use Sunsweet Amaz!n Prune Juice.
Each tasty serving of Sunsweet Amaz!n Prune Juice
is a natural source of four grams of fiber
helping to maintain digestive health
and help you feel your best.
It is easy to add to your daily routine
like with some of these recipes
offering emotional and physical health benefits.
First up,
and this is certainly a feel good recipe,
pumpkin cardamom waffles.
(upbeat playful bright music)
In a large bowl, add flour,
baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom
ground ginger and salt.
Whisk and set aside.
In a separate bowl, combined pumpkin puree,
an egg and Sunsweet Prune Juice.
Whisk to combine,
and then add your dry mixture into the wet mixing well.
(upbeat playful music)
Pull in your mixture into a preheated waffle iron
and then cook to your waffle iron specifications.
This batter can also make pancakes of course.
Using Sunsweet Prune Juice,
the batter has no added sugar.
Not to mention the juice includes
five essential vitamins and minerals.
Look at that delicious waffle.
It is so light and fluffy with a barely crispy exterior.
Feel free to top these off
with a little bit of whipped cream,
some pumpkin seeds, maple syrup
or really whatever your heart desires.
It is pumpkin season year round in this house.
Pumpkin cardamom and prune juice are a delicious
and naturally sweet combination.
It is a warm and comforting flavor.

I usually make pancakes on weekends
but sometimes I want a Belgian waffle.
And it always takes me back to my middle school days
when my mom would take me out to breakfast
and I would get a Belgian waffle
and a grilled
blueberry muffin every single time.
The good old days.
Speaking of muffins,
next up I have some orange blossom
breakfast muffins to share.
(upbeat gentle bright music)
First, add the zest of an orange into some honey,
allowing it to infuse for a few minutes.
If you can let this go for an hour or more,
it will get more flavor.
In a large bowl, combine all purpose or wheat flour,
almond flour, baking powder and salt
(upbeat gentle bright music)
In a separate bowl, add eggs,
vanilla extract, Sunsweet Prune Juice,
orange juice, the zest infused honey
and coconut oil, whisking until smooth.
Next, mix the dry ingredients into the wet
and then fold in your preferred mixings.
I went with chopped walnuts
and chopped Sunsweet Amaz!n Prunes today.
Sunsweet Amaz!n Prunes have such a delicious
natural sweetness to them
and have vitamin K, potassium and magnesium,
which all can help with bone health.
Spoon your mixture into a muffin tin,
and optionally sprinkle on a few mini chocolate chips
before transferring to the oven to bake.
If chocolate is too indulgent
for your breakfast preferences, you can skip it,
but I promise the chocolate paired
with the orange in prunes is worth it.
Say what?
Look at those.
The orange is not too strong
but it really comes through pleasantly.
Somehow these muffins taste like morning.
And once again, I was able to use less sugar in this recipe
thanks to Sunsweet's delicious prune juice.
So these really aren't too sweet,
making them perfect for breakfast.

Okay, the last recipe of the day is a breakfast popsicle.
(upbeat gentle bright music)
Add Sunsweet Prune Juice to a sauce pan
and bring it to a boil,
then add old fashioned or quick cooking oats,
turn down the heat and cook until integrated
which for old fashioned oats,
it took me about 10 minutes.
You could also cook your oats in the microwave.
I personally love cooking regular oatmeal
for breakfast in prune juice just like this.
It's one of my favorite ways
to get that prune juice into my diet.
And the juice reduces down to be like this syrup
but has no added sugar.
So it adds this natural sweetness to the oatmeal
and it's delicious just like this.
For the popsicles,
I muddle a mix of fresh berries
and then I add those to the oatmeal.
I think, personally, muddling them
helps to integrate better.
It gives a little bit more juiciness and flavor.
Yum!
Separately, I combine plain yogurt
with a bit of maple syrup to sweeten.
You are in control here,
so use as much or as little as you'd like.
Grab a popsicle mold and fill each mold
with a few spoonfuls of oatmeal mixture
followed by a layer of yogurt,
and continue to alternate those until your molds are full,
then add in your popsicle sticks
and freeze for four to six hours or overnight.
(upbeat gentle bright music)
When you are ready to eat,
simply pop out of the mold and it's ready to go.
I like to use a hot towel to help the pops release
and they tend to come right out.
These are a perfect way to start your day
because they're delicious, nutritious, easy and fast.
They are especially satisfying
as the temperature begins to warm up,
which is already happening here in California.
I also love that you are in control of the sugar,
and the prune juice and fresh fruit add natural sweetness.
I promise these do not taste like dessert,
they just make breakfast more fun.
