Best simple breakfast ideas

12 replies

stoopstofolly · 22/10/2015 11:51

I need some ideas for breakfasts for 2 DC (9 and 5). We leave the house at 8.00 so it needs to be something that we can make really quickly. They're bored of porridge and weetabix, but I find all other cereals seem to have too much sugar in.....
Any obvious suggestions I'm missing? Anything I could prepare the night before and reaheat?
Suggestions gratefully received!

Omelettes, only take a few mins to make.

Cheese and mushroom croissants. Prep them the day before and heat them in the oven for a few minutes.

Sweet or savoury muffins

Peanut butter on toast or bagel.

Boiled eggs can be cooked in about 5 minutes.

Bircher muesli - you make it the night before and just serve in the morning. See recipe on a separate thread entitled bircher muesli recipe!

Thank you! Some good thoughts, especially things like beans that I have firmly in my head for "lunch"!
I am putting DD (age 9, nearly 10) in charge of breakfast- it might be time to look at expanding her cooking repertoire! She can already do scrambled eggs so it's not that much of a stretch to an omelette..Smile

Bagel with cream cheese. Greek yogurt and strawberries. Rice crispies aren't sugary are they? Egg on toast. Beans on toast.

How about banana bread? Made with sultanas, walnuts if they like them. Serve with a yogurt. BB is also great toasted if it's a bit stale.

If man could live by bagel and cream cheese alone I would.

Pancakes are easy and the batter keeps for a good few days if you made a batch.

You can cook sausages the night before and reheat in microwave. Toasted sausage sarnies, yum!
