Healthy Dried Fruit Sprinkles

Submitted by Sharon123

"You can use this instead of sugar to sprinkle over hot or cold cereal, toast, etc. Adapted from the program Helping Your Child Eat Well from 3ABN. Enjoy! Be sure to use dried fruit that is not too moist and sticky or it will not grind well."

What a nice mix to have up in the cabinet. Was very yummy sprinkled on yogurt and am planning on trying it on oatmeal next. Thanks for the post.

I made this using some left over dried mixed berries. This is a wonderful tasty way to sweeten up oatmeal or grits. Made for 123 HITS

Made this up the other day with somewhat dry dates I had, & finally tried it on grape nuts (which I usually let soak a short time in milk or juice or whatever) ~ Made for a great mid-morning snack! A great idea, & I'll be doing this kind of thing often, using a variety of dried fruit! Thanks for a keeper!
