For seniors: Easy homemade snack activity using a hot plate

roasted sweet potato

Baked sweet potatoes on a hot plate 🍠✨

How about some easy roasted sweet potatoes made on a griddle? When you think of roasted sweet potatoes, you probably imagine slowly roasting them in a campfire.

But if you slice sweet potatoes or purple yams into rounds and cook them on a griddle (hot plate), you can enjoy roasted sweet potatoes quickly and easily.

Arrange the sliced potatoes on the griddle and cook until they’re tender.

Turning them over with chopsticks helps improve fine motor skills and stimulates the brain.

Plus, the sense of accomplishment from making them yourself builds motivation and confidence.

Be careful to avoid burns, and enjoy your roasted sweet potato snack activity!

Making Sweets with the BRUNO Hot Plate | Cupcake Plate & Recipes | Chie Sakasita

Let’s make cupcakes on a hot plate using a cupcake plate.

Since we’re using pancake mix as an ingredient, it’s super easy.

Once you’ve mixed the ingredients to make the batter, pour it into the cupcake plate and top with chocolate or jam.

The batter will rise as it bakes, so it’s fine to pour in a smaller amount.

If you insert a bamboo skewer and it comes out clean, they’re ready.

Being able to eat them while they’re warm is the best part of a snack-time activity! Be sure to make them together and enjoy warm cupcakes.

When you make pancakes on a hot plate set on the dining table, the time spent waiting as they cook is exciting and fun, isn’t it? In this video, we’re using a BRUNO design plate to cook pancakes, but of course you can make them on any regular hot plate, so how about trying this as a snack activity at a senior care facility? Mix the batter and pour it in.

When small bubbles appear and the sides look cooked and dry, that’s your cue to flip! They’re delicious as is, but preparing toppings like fruit and whipped cream makes them even more luxurious.

Wishing you a wonderful, fun time.

Oatmeal oyaki

On a griddle! Chewy Oatmeal Oyaki Recipe / Sachiko Kondo’s Parent-and-Child Snacks

If you prepare a variety of toppings—like corn, edamame, or tuna—the colors will be vibrant and it will make the activity more fun.

These delicious, nutrient-packed oatmeal oyaki are perfect for a snack activity at senior care facilities.

baked apple

Easy grilled apples—just cook on a hot plate

With a griddle (hot plate), you can easily enjoy baked apples.

Melt butter on the preheated plate, then cook thinly sliced apples.

Cover with a lid to steam-cook them so they heat through more evenly.

Once both sides are browned, sprinkle granulated sugar to finish.

You can customize by adding cinnamon or serving with vanilla ice cream.

Baked apples may help with recovery from fatigue, and the pectin, which is abundant in the peel, supports digestive health—so it’s best to eat them with the skin on.

Try incorporating this into your snack time and enjoy sweet, delicious baked apples.
