Is your child tired of cold cereals for breakfast? I’m covered in quick and healthy breakfast ideas that keep them energized for a day at school.
Weekday mornings can be a challenge to get everyone to eat their doors on time!
It’s not easy to try and prepare for the day while simultaneously setting up your child for a successful day at school. I love to share this post back to school to jibe some new breakfast ideas for your family. While frozen waffles, kids’ smoothies, Cheerios, oatmeal and toast spin around here, boys don’t get bored of everyday staples. And adults who have to leave the door on time need a healthy breakfast too!
Mazen enrolled in middle school this year, and his favorite breakfast is enrolled in a protein-based smoothie. And, Birch eats Great Harvest Cinnamon Chip Toast every day, if he keeps stocked all year round, but we try to mix his favorites for a variety of nutrition!
In this post we’ve put together a variety of quick and healthy breakfast ideas that run a range of child-friendly palettes and adult palettes!
From banana baked oatmeal to flavorful eggs and cheese cups, you can prepare these school breakfast recipes in advance, so you don’t have to think carefully about what you’ll eat at 8am
Fast and healthy breakfast ideas for school
Baked Banana Oatmeal
This simple baked banana oatmeal is KERF classic! It’s great to make money on the preparation day and reheat throughout the week. This version, baked in a pie dish, features optional peanut butter cream frosting!
Mini egg pie with pepper jack and pepper
These are very simple (only four ingredients!) and are suitable for quick and easy options for spring brunches, parties, and weekday breakfasts and snacks. Note that you want to reheat them in a toaster oven so that the skin remains crispy.
Overnight oat popsicle
If your child loves sweets, they will love these popsicles for breakfast! Made with oats, milk and berries, it is nutritious and enjoyable to eat!
Another popsicle idea is to pour the rest of the smoothie into a silicone push-pop mold like this. Or simply freeze the yogurt tube!
Cinnamon Raisin Bake Oatmeal Muffins
One of my favorite breakfast recipes, these cinnamon raisin baked oatmeal muffins can be grilled in a single muffin cup and reheated for a busy morning breakfast.
Homemade yogurt and nut granola
This recipe is packed with nuts, seeds and coconuts and is made without oats, so it is gluten free. Almond diet, honey and coconut oil combine it. Great for adults!
Banana Smash Toast
This power toast with bananas, peanut butter, chia, coconut and maple syrup will give you energy and satisfy you! It is ideal as a pre-workout snack or quick breakfast.
Healthy baked oatmeal with pumpkin
This healthy baked oatmeal is the best way to put all your favorite seasonal flavours into one cozy dish.
A touch of oats, warm spices, canned pumpkins and a caramel brown sugar topping will require baked oatmeal worthy of this craving this fall.
Whole Wheat Blueberry Mini Muffin
These whole wheat blueberry mini muffins are a great healthy breakfast for small fingers! You can make these with fresh or frozen blueberries, which can be enjoyed all year round.
Whole wheat sheet pancakes
Pancakes baked in sheet pans = the perfect breakfast pancake recipe! These sheet pan pancakes are made from whole wheat pastry flour and are thick and fluffy. Square-cut pancakes save time, are perfect for feeding crowds or freezing later. Topping ideas are endless!
Super Oatmeal Cookies
These super oatmeal cookies will be your child’s new favorite morning surprise! They are ideal for pre-baking and reheating in a quick morning (in combination with fresh fruits and Greek yogurt). These can actually be described as “scuffin.” Part scones, part muffins, part cookies.
Pineapple upside down grilled oatmeal
Caramelize the basic baked oatmeal with a tropical twist to sprinkle with pineapple rings, juicy cherry and brown sugar. This pineapple upside down baked oatmeal is ready in just 30 minutes and beautifully reheat. This breakfast option is perfect for moving ahead on weekdays, reheating or serving fresh from the oven for brunch.
