Easy Breakfast Push Pops Recipes

PRETTY IN PINK PUSH-IT-UP CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Fill muffin cups half full with batter. (Cover and refrigerate remaining batter until ready to bake; cool pan before reusing and spray again with cooking spray.)
• Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cupcakes from pans to cooling racks; cool completely, about 15 minutes. (Repeat with remaining batter to make about 48 additional mini cupcakes. Freeze cupcakes for another use.)
• Spoon frosting into decorating bag (fitted with desired tip) or resealable food-storage plastic bag (with small corner cut off). To assemble, drop 1 cupcake into each push-up pop container; pipe desired amount of frosting on cupcake. Top each with second cupcake; pipe with frosting. Garnish with strawberry and mint sprig.

CEREAL ICE POPS

Steps:

• Put twelve 3-ounce paper cups on a tray that will fit inside the freezer. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the peanut butter cereal into each of 4 paper cups. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon cereal into each of another 4 paper cups and 1 tablespoon of the corn cereal into each of the 4 remaining cups. Set aside.
• Pour 1 1/2 cups milk into each of 3 separate mixing bowls. Add 2 cups of the peanut butter cereal to one bowl, 2 cups of the cinnamon cereal to the second bowl and 2 cups of the corn cereal to the third bowl; stir to combine. Let the cereal soak in the milk, refrigerated, for a minimum of 30 minutes. Meanwhile, crush the remaining cereal in separate ziptop bags. Put the crushed cereal into 3 small bowls.
• Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the cereal milk into 3 separate containers with pour spouts. Push as much of the milk as possible out of the cereal. Discard the soaked cereal. Add 1/3 cup of the yogurt to each container of flavored milk and whisk to combine.
• Divide the peanut butter cereal milk among the paper cups with the peanut butter cereal in the bottom, until the cereal rises to the top (about 1/3 cup milk mixture per paper cup). Divide the cinnamon cereal milk among the paper cups with the cinnamon cereal in the bottom, and the corn cereal milk among the paper cups with the corn cereal. Put the tray of cups in the freezer to chill for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, put an ice-pop stick into each cup. Put the tray back in the freezer for another 2 hours, until the ice pops are completely hardened.
• Put the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes.
• Once the ice pops are frozen, work quickly to peel off the paper cup from each. One by one, dip the end of each ice pop into the melted chocolate and immediately roll in the corresponding crushed cereal (about 1 tablespoon of crushed cereal per pop). Store in the freezer until ready to serve.

BANANA SPLIT PUSH POPS

Steps:

• Stand 10 to 12 push-pop dispensers upright in an ice cream cone holder with as many openings as you have containers. Slice the pound cake into 1/2-inch slices. Using the open end of a push-pop dispenser as a cutter, cut rounds of pound cake from the slices. Push a pound cake round to the bottom of each dispenser with your finger.
• Remove the banana split ice cream from its container and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slabs. Using the open end of a push-pop dispenser as a cutter, stamp out rounds of the ice cream slabs. Push an ice cream round on top of each pound cake round with your finger or a spoon.
• Place banana slices on top of the ice cream rounds and spoon in a little hot fudge sauce. Pipe a tall mound of whipped cream into each push pop until it stands up over the edge. Garnish with chopped walnuts, banana slices and maraschino cherries. Freeze until firm, about 1 1/2 hours.
