posting here for traffic mostly
Had a conversation with a friend regarding breakfast routines as such, turns out we do the opposite of each other
I do...
Weekdays- I make the dc (7 and 4) cooked breakfast (poached eggs and bacon, omelette, French toast etc)
Weekends- they get cereal, fruit etc, (sometimes pancakes on a Sunday)

Friend does
Weekdays- Cereal, fruit yoghurt etc
Weekends- cooked breakfast, pancakes etc

What way do you do it? Or do you do it differently again?

scubadive - a few examples -
Raspberries and lemon curd
Banana, honey and cinnamon
Frozen cherries (at the bottom so defrost when you pour porridge on)
Peanut butter and jam
Mix of raisins, walnuts and choc chips
Almond butter and raspberries (bakewell flavour)
Frozen apple slices and cinnamon
Dried apricots and nuts
Probably not the healthiest but stops Ds asking for coco pops at least!
I always keep plenty of frozen, tinned and dried fruit in as well as fresh so there’s plenty of choices

Weekdays is almost always toast or porridge or yoghurt with fruit

Weekends is cooked breakfasts, pancakes, croissants, pastries, omlettes, scrambled eggs, mushrooms on toast etc.

Weekday breakfasts need to be quick and functional. Weekend breakfasts are far more relaxed

Weekdays ds gets himself cereal/porridge/croissant (he's 13), neither dh or I have breakfast.

Weekends, dh usually makes him and ds a bacon or sausage sandwich, and I might have porridge or something.

Can't imagine cooking food on a work day morning!

Fruit, porridge, peanut butter toast or scrambled eggs for DS during the week, I just tend to have anything easy later on.

We don't have breakfast at weekends much, we just eat lunch usually so stuff like soup or toasties.

Fancy pancakes now

@EnglishGirlApproximately Thank you, some great ideas, I seem to get stuck with fruit and yoghurt so good to try new ones.

Albeit not the healthiest option, we make porridge with some hot chocolate powder, though you can obviously use just cocoa powder and some honey added at the end or similar.

Mine have the same every day.
