I’m gonna just tell you: I’m a big believer in a good breakfast, but I’m an even bigger believer in my snooze button. That’s where these recipes come in.
They are the answer to having a substantial, tasty meal without the early wake-up call. Many of these are make-ahead friendly, so you can just grab-and-go. You’re welcome.
1. Breakfast Pizza
Pizza for breakfast? Yes, please. Thanks to pre-made pizza dough, you can make this magic happen whenever you want.
This one has bacon, cheese, tomatoes, and a runny sunny-side egg on top. If you’ve never experienced an egg on pizza, you’re in for such a treat.
And the beauty of this whole thing? It’s a choose-your-own-adventure! Add whatever toppings your heart desires.
Once you’ve built your masterpiece, just let the oven work its magic. It’s a total game-changer.
2. Granola
Sweet, crunchy, and hearty. That’s what this granola is all about. It’s such a wonderful breakfast, but let’s be honest, the store-bought kind isn’t exactly cheap. And for what? It’s just a bag of basic pantry ingredients!
So why not make it yourself? It’s super easy and so much more affordable. Plus, you get to be the boss of what goes in.
This recipe is a mind-blowing combo of oats, almonds, cinnamon, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla. But feel free to make it your own!
3. Sweet Potato Pancakes
Pancakes are a classic we all love, but if you want to make things a little more interesting, you have to give these sweet potato pancakes a go.
Mmm! We’re talking light and fluffy flapjacks packed with sweet potatoes and finished with marshmallow cream. It’s basically sweet potato casserole but in pancake form, and I am so here for it.
4. Nutella Overnight Oats
Trying to get your kids on board with healthy food? I’ve got a simple fix for you: Nutella and oatmeal.
Let’s be real, oatmeal might be nutritious, but it isn’t always the most exciting breakfast. Enter Nutella, the sweet hazelnut spread that’s impossible for kids to resist. A little bit of Nutella makes oatmeal a hundred times better.
And I just love how easy overnight oats are. You just toss everything into a jar, let it chill, and the next morning—boom! Breakfast is ready to go.
5. Breakfast Burritos
Scrambled eggs, tater tots, refried beans, and cheese all wrapped up in a warm tortilla. This is the kind of breakfast burrito that will make even the grumpiest person happy to wake up!
Just think about all those rich flavors and textures waiting for you. It’s so hearty, cheesy, and oh-so-delicious. Mornings just don’t get better than this.
These also freeze beautifully, so you can prep a batch over the weekend and have breakfast sorted for the whole week.
6. Banana Baked Oatmeal
Calling all vegans! This banana baked oatmeal is a must-try.
If you’re after a delicious, nutritious, and easy breakfast for the whole family, your search is over. This dish brings together the goodness of oatmeal and bananas into one super satisfying treat.
You can eat it as is, or go wild with toppings like berries, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts. Customize it however you want!
It’s also super quick. Just 30 minutes, and breakfast is on the table.
7. Strawberry Chocolate Smoothie
Chocolate and strawberry will forever be a remarkable duo. The way the sweet, rich, and tart flavors play together is just amazing.
Case in point: this strawberry chocolate smoothie. That balance of flavors is what makes this drink totally drool-worthy! The creaminess and nuttiness from the cashew milk make it even more irresistible.
This fruity, chocolatey treat is healthy, too! And it’s so easy to whip up. Healthy, delicious, and simple—that’s what I call a perfect combo.
8. Fig Chia Seed Pudding
Chia pudding loaded up with mashed figs and made ultra-creamy and rich with almond milk? This breakfast is indulgent while still being good for you.
Oh, how I love figs. They’re soft and sweet like honey, and they’re so good for you! With figs in the mix, there’s no need for any extra sugar. It’s perfect if you’re watching that.
The almond milk makes the pudding incredibly rich and adds a nice nutty flavor.
It’s also vegan-friendly! This breakfast is proof that delicious can also be nutritious.
9. Spinach and Feta Wraps
One of my forever go-to orders at Starbucks is their Spinach and Feta Wrap. You can imagine how excited I was when I stumbled upon this copycat recipe online!
This wrap is packed with feta, spinach, egg whites, and sun-dried tomatoes. All that goodness is hugged by a whole wheat tortilla, so you know it’s good for you!
It might be low in carbs, but it’s definitely high in flavor.

And it’s so simple to make! Just spread Greek yogurt on a baking sheet, load it up with dried fruits and nuts, and pop it in the freezer. Smash it into chunks and you’re good to go.
11. Tropical Smoothie
Are you tired of your usual berry smoothies? Time to switch things up and add a twist to your go-to breakfast drink. In this smoothie, you get not one, not two, but three summer fruits blended into one refreshing treat.

On top of the lip-smacking flavor, it’s also packed with nutrients. I mean, how could it not be? It’s a powerhouse of pineapples, mangoes, and bananas!
12. Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
I was never really an oatmeal cookie person until I tried this recipe.
These cookies are packed with dried fruits, nuts, and raisins, making them love at first bite. The fruity flavors and the mix of chewy and crunchy textures are out-of-this-world fantastic.
They’re also super customizable. Not a fan of raisins? Just leave them out! You can even make them gluten-free with the right oats and flour.
And since they’re so portable, you can enjoy them on the go! They are perfect for those super busy mornings.

Hash browns made with sweet potatoes—this next dish is a fresh take on a classic.
Boy, this dish will get you fueled up and ready for the day! It’s a sumptuous breakfast of fried sweet potatoes, tempeh, and your favorite veggies.
What I love about this is that you can toss in whatever veggies you have on hand and it will still be great. Mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, onions, you name it, it all works!
14. Banana Muffins
These soft, fluffy muffins are bursting with sweet bananas. They’re the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast.
The muffins themselves are wonderfully moist and sweet, but what really makes me go gaga for them is the crumble on top. It’s so crisp, buttery, and just plain delicious. It adds the most divine contrast and the perfect crunch!
These banana muffins keep well in the fridge for a week, so you can bake them on the weekend and enjoy them all week long.

Egg McMuffins are the quintessential breakfast from Mickey D’s. You just can’t beat that combo of English muffins loaded with egg, ham, and cheese!
But what if I told you that you don’t need to drive to McDonald’s to get your McMuffin fix?
With this copycat recipe, you can enjoy your favorite breakfast in your pajamas any morning you want.

If you need a really hearty breakfast to keep you energized all day, these enchiladas are exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Carbs, protein, fats, veggies—they have everything you could ever want in a complete meal.

It’s rich, hearty, and healthy. Avocado toast is the breakfast of the millennials for a reason.
Over the last few years, the humble avocado has risen to fame, and honestly, it’s well-deserved. There aren’t many foods that are both incredibly delectable and healthy at the same time!
It also helps that avocado toast is insanely easy to make. Just mash up an avocado, season it with cilantro, lime, salt, and pepper, and spread it on your toast. It’s that simple.
