A healthy breakfast to start your day

Most of us love food, but with the lack of time and tight schedule, we barely have time to cook properly and get together with our family at the dining table.  

But here is a solution to your problem. Try these 10 easy, yet healthy breakfast recipes.

1.Vegan Blueberry Flax Breakfast Muffins

These hearty, wholesome muffins make for the perfect portable breakfast. Flax lends a healthy dose of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Mashed bananas (one of our favorite healthy baking substitutions) allow for a slight reduction in the added fat and sugar too.

 2. Berries and Oats Microwave Muffin

 

Muffins from the microwave? Yep, it’s possible! Add 1/4 cup quick oats, 1 egg, a handful of berries, and a sprinkling of brown sugar to a mug and mix until evenly combined. Microwave on high for 1 minute, remove to take a look and keep cooking for 30 seconds at a time until the muffin looks firm.

3. Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

 

Cookies for breakfast? Yes, please. While Oreos or Chips Ahoy may not make a balanced breakfast, a cookie made of banana, peanut butter, protein powder, and oats is a top-notch choice. Plus, you can pick and choose what you like to mix—go for almond butter and raisins in one batch and peanut butter chocolate chip in another.

4. Lemon Poppy Seed Protein Squares

 

Here’s a healthier take on the classic lemon-poppyseed muffin. Fiber-rich oat flour is paired with vanilla protein powder for a healthy, filling base. Yogurt lends moisture and some fat, and applesauce makes a great substitute for sugar. The best part? One bar contains about 54 calories and six grams of protein—much better than any muffin we’ve seen on the shelves lately.

5. Banana Zucchini Oatmeal Cups

 

Take a classic baked loaf and make it into adorable oatmeal cups with this recipe! Adding shredded zucchini l is a great way to fit in an extra serving of veggies. Make these baked oatmeal cups in advance, save them in the fridge, and snack on them later (or make them at night to grab for breakfast on your way out the door!).

6. Southwest Tofu Scramble

 

Stuck with last night’s leftovers? No problem. If you have some leftover tofu and veggies (like peppers and kale), you’re good to go for this easy scramble. Combine your ingredients in a pan, scramble in eggs, and throw some potatoes on the side for maximum taste.

7. Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jelly Compote Waffles

 

The compote part might make this recipe sound complicated, but we’ve got your back. If it’s not a slow weekend morning when you’re ready to spend some time in the kitchen, use some substitutes (like regular jelly) to top these tasty PB waffles. Bonus points because they’re gluten-free AND vegan, so no one has to miss out.

8. Healthy 5-Ingredient Granola Bars

 

Oatmeal is a great option for a hearty snack or breakfast, but what’s the best way to make it into a more convenient and portable snack? Bake it into squares! These tasty, easy granola bars will remind you of your morning oatmeal, but you can eat them anywhere you like.

9. Banana Peanut Butter Chia Pudding

 

Try adding this superfood twist to the classic. All you need is chia seeds, a banana, some PB, and milk to combine all of the ingredients in overnight. With the sprinkle of chia, which is packed with vitamins and minerals (like six times more calcium than milk!), this is a perfectly balanced breakfast.

10. Peach Cobbler Oatmeal

 

Forget flavored oatmeal packets and go au naturel with this oatmeal that’s reminiscent of a cobbler. With fresh peaches, chopped pecans (or your nut of choice), and cinnamon, it will satisfy your sweet tooth so much that you may find yourself making it for dessert.
