Snack Time is Bear-y good!

My daughter, M, loves food. She has never been one to fuss over meal times (at least, not yet!). I really lucked out with her! Though she happily eats whatever I make her, every once in a while, I like to jazz things up for her. So I made her teddy bear toast for her snack yesterday.

I made cinnamon-honey butter (recipe below) for the bear’s face and used blueberries for its eyes and nose. You could use black raisins too.

Cinnamon- Honey butter. Where do I even start! This was my first time making this or any kind of compound butter, for that matter (I’m late, I know!). One bite of this and I knew I was living under a rock all these years! It is divine! You will want to forget all about your diet and eat toast and cinnamon-honey butter every day! Ok I’ll stop now 🙂 Here’s how I made it. It’s hardly a recipe but here you go anyway –

Ingredients –

1 stick of butter at room temperature (room temp is important or it won’t mix well with the rest of the ingredients)
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tbsp honey

Mix these three ingredients well. Slather on toast and enjoy! You could even shape the remaining butter into a log and refrigerate it. Use it on your pancakes, scones or croissants. Bear-y yummy!
