Yahoo Lifestyle9 Delicious New Breakfasts You Have To Try
Fed up of porridge, cereal and toast? Pimp up your breakfast with one of these delicious meals to mix it up in the morning
According to research, as many as one in three of us skip breakfast each day. But there’s no need for that.
Whether you’re running late, fancy a lie in or just don’t feel like cooking, we’ve rounded up nine great breakfasts that you can fit into any morning routine…
When you’re late for the school run
Keep a batch of these Kitchen Sink Egg Muffins in the fridge and you’ll have mini omelettes packed with meats and veggies to feed your little ones before they go to school. Eggs contain loads of nutrients such as B vitamins, protein and choline.
Choline has been linked to better concentration and memory, so they’re perfect before school. And it gets better: you can take care of any leftovers you have, too, when you make them. Check out the recipe on Sarah Lynn Smile.
When you don’t want any washing up
Genius! Nagi from the blog Recipe Tin Eats has created these No Washing Up Cheese and Ham Bowls. You can layer ham, cheese and eggs - and whatever else you fancy - in a hollowed out bread roll and bake. They’re ready in 15 minutes.
“You can make loads in one go - as many as you can fit in your oven,” Nagi writes. You just eat them with your hands. A great idea if you have friends or family staying over and want to head straight out after breakfast, without having to wash up.
When you get up at the weekends and it’s nearly lunchtime
If you’ve had a long lie-in, you might as well opt for something a bit more substantial and get on with brunch. This Breakfast Strata from the blog A Beautiful Bite can be prepped the night before, and kept in the fridge overnight.
You just need to stagger to the kitchen, switch on the oven and bake it until it’s ready. Add whatever you fancy - cheese, veggies, leftover meats. Another breakfast that’s a great idea for using up any leftover stale bread and whatever veggies you have in the fridge.
When only a burger will do…
We all know THOSE mornings. Jessica, from the blog How Sweet It Is created this Breakfast Burger with Maple Aioli. “No, not like burgers for breakfast,” insists Jessica, “but burgers stacked with breakfast foods.”
This glorious invention consists of beef burgers, cheese, bacon and a fried egg squeezed into a toasted English muffin with a maple syrup and mustard aioli. “I don’t know,” Jessica wonders. “Does that mean we can eat them for breakfast? Wouldn’t stop me.” Wouldn’t stop us either.
When you have to leave the house, like, NOW
Although, like the egg muffins, this takes a little forward planning, a nutritious breakfast on the go can be done. Laura at Blogging Over Thyme made these gorgeous Healthy Pumpkin Carrot Pecan Muffins, with ingredients such as chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, coconut oil and veggies.
They also have cosy, autumnal spices in them including cardamom, cinnamon and ginger. Whip up a batch when you have time and then just grab one as you run out the door.
On the first day of a diet
So you decided to start eating more healthily today but that sugary cereal and extra large caramel latte looks just too tempting. Start off with this healthy breakfast created by Simple Green Moms - Skinny Fried Egg and Avocado Toasts.
You get the protein and nutrients from the egg, and the vitamins and healthy fats from the avocado. Use wholegrain bread for fibre. A filling, nutritious breakfast.
When it’s a special occasion
Birthdays, sleepovers, anniversaries, Christmas… sometimes you want something sweet and decadent for breakfast. And Ashley from the blog Baker by Nature came up with these: The Blueberry Pancakes of Your Dreams. It’s not a modest title, but she sticks by it. “These pancakes are really the best,” she says. “I tested them literally 16 times. You know, just to be sure.”
When only pizza will do…
Yes, breakfast pizza does exist, and it makes a cool weekend brunch. Katya from the blog Little Broken created this version, a Bacon, Apple and Swiss Breakfast Pizza.
“Whoever came up with breakfast pizza is a genius,” she writes. “It’s practically a whole breakfast on a slice of bread.” While she also insists that it can be eaten for lunch or dinner instead, it does make a fun breakfast or brunch for those mornings when you’re not in a mad rush.
When you wish you’d prepared something the night before
Over to Averie Cooks for this gorgeous Overnight Gingerbread French Toast Breakfast Bake - perfect for when the mornings get that little bit chillier. Prepare it and store in the fridge overnight. Then when you get up just slide it into the oven before you go and have your shower and get ready.
It cooks in around 25 minutes. You’ll have soft, gingerbread-spiced bread waiting for you to drizzle with maple syrup.
