Mornings are generally rushed but we have a rule that everyone must sit down and eat something for breakfast paired with a glass of milk. This is something my mother would do for me, growing up. My husband would skip breakfasts while in college so it took some time for him to get used to sitting down and eating a good breakfast, every day, right after we just got married. Today, breakfast has become mandatory in his day!
Have you heard this said before?…
“Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper”
It may not be possible to have a huge continental spread for breakfast every day but trying to eat something substantial should be the daily never-fail goal. Here are a few suggestions…

10 Breakfast Ideas (With Recipes)
1. Cereal –
We try to stick to granola based cereal over excessively sugared cereals
2. Eggs –
A hot favorite in our home. Serve them up in an omelette, scrambled, fried or boiled and you will see huge smiles on my kids’ faces, at the table
3. Breads –
Try some Honey Oat bread or if you would like something berry based, this Berry Pecan bread is delicious. But my all time favorite is my Holiday Medley bread.
4. Pancakes /crepes/waffles –
We do pancakes and crepes from scratch and the kids love ’em. A waffle maker is next on my must-buy list! (If you love chocolate spread, try my Nutella Crepe-adillas.)
5. Muffins-
Hot favorites in our home are blueberry muffins, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, banana muffins and my packed with punch, flavor and wholesomeness, Morning Glory muffins.
6. Fruit and Nut Breakfast Rolls Surprise –
These are great grab-and-go breakfast rolls. (And they helped win me the Meal Maker Challenge two years ago!)
7. Oats-
Also throw in raisins, pecans, walnuts, almonds, blueberries, bananas, apples…the works! And a sprinkling of cinnamon always makes my bowl of oats, so much yummier.
8. Hearty Tex Mex Wraps –
9. Easy Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Muffins–
These are convenient for those mornings the alarm clock fails to set off and you need to rush out the door as soon as your feet hit the ground, out of bed. The shakes are blended with Quaker whole grain oats and is available in three flavors- chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. (We’ve tried two of the three flavors and prefer the chocolate flavored one over the strawberry.)
If you haven’t tried these yet, here’s a coupon for 2$ off a four pack of Quaker Breakfast Shakes.

So tell me…
I like having healthy breakfast bars, eggs and fruit and yogurt. I am not a person that can cook in the morning. I really like some of these ideas and will make them the night before to have them ready. I would try these healthy Quaker breakfast shakes. They make the best breakfast bars!
Those breakfast rolls sound and look delicious… I love the Quaker breakfast shakes. I always grab when running out. Thanks for sharing these recipes.
My favorite right now is an all-natural granola bar (peanut butter flavored) that is only 140 calories. Keeps me satisfied until lunch!
Great list! I want to try the Fruit and Nut Breakfast Rolls Surprise – look so good!
My kids woul dlove all of these! Thank you for the great ideaas!
That bread looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Goodness these all look so good!! I love the bread, it sounds amazing, and those surprise rolls look tasty!!!
So many delicious breakfast ideas! I love it! I would love to try those Fruit and Nut Breakfast Rolls Surprises!
I love all these recipes. I am a quick scrambled eggs in a tortilla shell kind of girl most mornings.
You know, it is just so hard to eat a big breakfast in our house but we totally need the nutrition! I am going to get the Quaker shakes because the kids can even drink them while walking to school and toss the bottles in the recycle once they arrive. Good to have on hand after sports games too when they need calories and vitamins but we dont have a meal with us!
breakfast is one of the hardest meals ever, we are always into the cereal rut! Thanks for all the great ideas, I need to change up this routine more often!
All of these look so good. I’m going to try those Morning Glory Muffins tomorrow.
Breakfast burritos are my favorite breakfast food. I need to try these Tex Mex wraps.
The Tex Mex Wraps sound really good. We always have extra eggs.
always looking for new ideas for great breakfast thanks for sharing
The cheese and sausage breakfast rolls look great! Will have to try that!
I just printed the coupon. I love the Quaker breakfast shakes. They are great for when we are on the grow.
To be honest, I skip breakfast all too often! In a perfect world it would be toast and scrambled eggs.
Yum! My mouth is totally watering! I think I might need breakfast for dinner! Everything looks delish! Loving these new Quaker shakes, I need to find some! Lately, I have in fact been drinking smoothies and protein shakes for breakfast. These would be great for busy mornings!
I am always looking for great breakfast ideas
Great ideas thanks! I’m always struggling for new breakfast ideas.
Those all look sooooo delicious!
Great ideas. We do eggs and cereal a lot for our everyday breakfasts. Pancakes and crepes for weekend breakfasts. I am checking out the Fruit & Nut Breakfast surprises as they look amazing and I am always looking for some breakfast variety.
To be honest I usually skip breakfast a lot. But sometimes I will have a muffin or some fruit. These recipes look delicious!
I don’t know what I’d like to try first: should I try the sausage and cheese breakfast muffin or the fruit and nut breakfast rolls. No wait, I think I’ll have the Tex-Mex wrap. Oh, I can’t decide. They all look delicious. You are right about the Quaker Shakes, though. They are really good and perfect for a hurry-up morning, or afternoon pick me up.
I love mixing up our breakfast, never repeat one in the same week. The kids always love cereal Friday.
My kids always want waffles! My favorite is breakfast breads, though. Croissants!!
thank you for these! i’m ALWAYS up for new and different breakfast ideas. i get bored, so i’m sure my family does too!
The cheese and sausage muffins sound especially delicious!
These look delicious! I truly love breakfast and my children request “cupcakes” which are very healthy muffins for breakfast often. I will continue to allow them to eat cupcakes for breakfast 🙂
Great breakfast ideas to get you going in the mornings! Love it!
