At The Zoo Recipe
Ingredients:
2 slice whole-wheat bread - (to 3), toasted
1 tbsp peanut butter or Neufchatel cheese
2 tbsp mashed banana
= (or 2 tbspns crushed juice-packed
pineapple)
Raisins, currants, or dried apricot, (optional)
Instructions:
Press the cookie cutters firmly into the toasted bread to make an animal or
other shape. Spread with one or two of the suggested toppings. For even
more fun, use raisins or currants for eyes and noses and a sliver of dried
apricot for a mouth.
If you're making shamrocks, you can spread clover shapes with Neufchatel
and cover with finely chopped parsley leaves. You can use the same
technique for a holiday tree, and decorate it with raisins, dried
cranberries, and chopped dried fruit. For hearts, mix a little red food
coloring and a dash of cinnamon into Neufchatel.
