Spring rolls are Chinese pastries usually filled with rice, vegetables and chicken or shrimp. I made my version with granola, honey and thinly slice peaches.
First, I took a spring roll wrapper about 6 inches square and placed several pieces of peaches in a line with enough space around for wrapping. I topped it with a drizzle of honey and a tablespoon or two of granola. The honey helps keep everything together and adds some flavor. Next, I wrapped it all like a burrito and turned it over so that the peach side was on the top and allowed it to sear, sort of, on my electric skillet. I didn't use any oil and I wasn't looking for it to brown, I just wanted to take the raw taste out of the spring roll wrapper. The roll in the photo I sliced and served with apple sauce and vanilla yogurt for dipping, but there are many, many more possibilities here. Any number of fruits would be good in this preparation and the granola can be swapped out for another cereal or even some cooked oatmeal, for a hot preparation.
I don't like mornings but I sure like breakfast. This could easily be made to go, so no need to wake up early for this one.

Looks like it can be served as a dessert too!
Very creative and delicious!
Great idea! Looks like a yummy breakfast!:))
It sounds yummy. Have you tried spring rolls with banana inside?
Looks tempting. Did you have to steam the springroll pastry first?
this sounds good, I'm will have to try this out :)
I fried the pastry a little bit in my electric skillet. I would have steamed it, if I had a way to.
Wow--so creative! I need to try this (though it is way more complicated than my usual breakfast of yogurt and coffee).
Kelly! this looks great! healthy breakfast, and all without a stove...atta girl!!

I have never prepared breakfast for a long long, long long time.
I would love to have this as my breakfast :-)
How fun and tasty! I had a spring roll-themed dinner party a year and a half ago, and our desserts were roll-your-own build-a-spring rolls! I wish I'd thought to provide peaches. Yum!
