What do your children have for breakfast in the morning?

[GailFawkes]

Especially in the winter. Stuck in the cereal rut

Oat porridge made with milk and water with a few raisins ....

boiled egg and soldiers

I know so are we.

When DH is here he does porridge, pancakes or boiled eggs & soldiers.

I'm a) not a good cook & b) not a morning person so am sticking with cereal-toast combo for now.

Dd (10 mos) ready brek

ds (3) whatever takes his fancy, usually a combination of toast, dry weetabix minis, bananas, raisins or biscuits (he sneaks those when I'm not looking, I find the crumbs later!)

Cereal or porridge, they don't like change!

They do like boiled eggs and soldiers, or scrambled eggs or pancakes but only AFTER their cereal or porridge!

Mine have one (or more) of the following: cereal (shreddies, oat crisp, weetabix or crunchy muesli type stuff); porridge; bagel / crumpet / toast / toasted muffin; pancakes as an occasional weekend treat! Generally though, it's cereal!

I used to eat some microwave porridge things, can't remember what they're called now?

I make porridge and then mix it with mashed banana and apple puree to give it fruit/sweetness.

As a treat, they sometimes have french toast/eggy bread. Again I spread it with banana or apple.

Toast - either plain or with butter, jam, peanut butter or marmite

Bagels

Porridge

Cereal - honey nut Cheerios, Special K with strawberries, sometimes weetabix or rice krispies.

Pancakes (the american kind - from a mix, very quick and easy)

Ds has 4 weetabix and shreddies- dd has porridge.
Haven't got time to cook anything- nor am I inclined to.

JustKeepSparkling

I make normal porridge in the microwave.
It's much quicker and easier than using a pan on the hob.

Pancakes- make the batter quickly the night before and usually put 2 eggs in instead of one to keep her fuller at nursery! Otherwise cereal but some quite sugary ones like crunchynut cornflakes as she otherwise can't be bothered with breakfast despite my efforts.

DD1 and DS don't like porridge although DD2 will tuck into a bowl. Unfortunately DS is allergic to egg although my DDs love them.

Pancakes are a hit at the weekend, maybe I should organise myself more in the morning and make some

RuthChan - what kind of proportions?

pancakes or
bacon buttie

Usually cereal and toast but their favourite brekkie is a nice bit of bacon...

Followed by a bit of apple ("skin off, skin OFF")

Keep trying them on eggs.

And they like sausages as well.

toast
porridge with cooked fruit
hot weetabix
scrambled egg on toast
at the weekends a fry up although tend to not fry it other than eggs
eggs benedict (minus the hollandaise sauce for DS who is only 11 months) (again at weekends).
Cereal

oh yes, pancakes.

Breakfast burritos are a big hit (with the adults!) and the kids get a bit of it too.

All of the above + fruit / yoghurt / slice of cake or biscuit if there's any in the house (button that judge face - how's it different to a Danish pastry?) / reheated crumble and cream / last night's popadom or prawn crackers from adults' takeaway / raisins / cashew nuts / dried apricots.
Can you tell that we're not much for routine?
DS went through a phase where he had to have three things for breakfast - he didn't care what they were as long as there were three different bowls or plates of stuff (very small ones obv).
Oh, and olives, when in doubt olives .... And cheese.

Porridge with honey...

JustKeepSparkling I do normal porridge in the microwave too (must be to do with Belgium not selling OatsoSimple ) We do 1/2 cup of porridge oats, and then 1 cup of milk (you can use water but doesn't really appeal). Bang it in for 2 1/2 to 3 mins and bob's your uncle.

It is quite a large portion though, so you could always do less - just do double the amount of milk for the amount of oats you use.

Btw a cup is 250ml

Porridge, +/- bananas and golden syrup, blackberries, raspberries, raisins etc

oatibix/wheetabix

doves farm cereal flakes

yoghurt and fruit with muesli on top

toast and butter with marmite, lemon curd, peanut butter, jam

bagel or rye bread with cheese spread and ham

boiled or scrambled egg

sultana bread and butter

Porridge - I do it it the microwave, just a wee heap in the bottom of the bowl, maybe 3 or 4 tablespoons of oats, then milk to cover it plus another splash. Micro on max for 1 minute, stir, then another 30-45 seconds. I tip it into a fresh dish and mix with more milk to cool it quickly.

Ds: toast with butter or cereals and milk or biscuits dunked into tea.

Dd: toast with Nutella or toast with ham. A small glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
