Kids breakfasts that don't involve cereal, bread or eggs

8 yo dd eats a LOT of stodgy processed white bread which we are trying to cut down on as it is causing her some health issues. She's a good fruit and veg eater but is fussy about cereals (only likes sugary unhealthy ones) and can't eat boiled eggs/ scrambled eggs/ omelette (though can have them in pancakes etc). She doesn't like brown bread unfortunately.

I'm a bit stumped for filling breakfast ideas. So far I've come up with homemade banana pancakes and smoothies with porridge oats added. Also baked beans, or maybe some sort of beans hash that I can make in advance and reheat in the mornings.

Anyone got any good recipes that are quick and easy, or can be made in advance?

If the problem with stodgy food is its effect on her bowls, this is really good. A teaspoon or two every day will keep her going comfortably (unless there's a major issue with constipation, in which case it needs to be dealt with medically). You can hide it in anything textured: a smoothie, or sprinkled on crackers and hummus, for example.

Might help if I posted the pictures!

Greek yoghurt with fruit and a quiet of honey is a big hit in our house

Give her anything she likes for breakfast and don't restrict yourself to breakfast foods. My DS4 had a cold chicken leg for breakfast every day for ages when he was a toddler. Much better for him to have that than nothing. He's 7 now and he still struggles with deciding what to have for breakfast.

Hash browns? Potato is a much better carb than bread

Do they still make that half and half loaf?
You could also try sourdough or a bread made with a different grain such as rye.

Love porridge in the winter and you can flavour with cinnamon and nutmeg, add some stewed apple.

My daughter's favourite things for breakfast are leftover pasta and rice pudding! ...not usually together. 🙂

Congee! It's perfect for cold winter mornings.
