What do your kids have for breakfast if they won't do cereal?

[DrNortherner]

My ds is 8, loves cereals but strangely will only eat them before bed for his supper. He can't seem to face cereals or fruit for brekkie, unyet will at other times in the day....

Anyway, he has toast, brioches or croissant atm, what else could he have?

DS will only eat choc chip brioche or choc chip Weetabix (do we see at theme?) Plus a banana

DD will eat one teaspoon of cereal and half a pint of full fat milk. Can be persuaded to eat some melon now and again.

Bacon sandwich
Sausage sandwich
Home made scones
Home made muffins
Home mad blackberry oat bars
Toast with chocolate spread or home made blackberry and apple jam
Pain au chocolates
Croissants
Fruit

DS2 regularly has fruit, yoghurt and toast with marmite for breakfast - maybe a muffin or scone instead of toast... His big brother always has cereal for breakfast

baked beans
toasted cheese sandwich
porridge with cold milk and honey
yog
fruit
scotch pancakes
boiled/scrambled eggs

There is however no reason not to eat nrormal food for brek, doesn't have to be cereal/toast - there's no law about it.

Is he hungry at breakfast time? Just because many people, myself included, need a couple of hours before they can face food!
If he is just not hungry, then how about taking a peanut butter sandwich and a carton of milk for the school run? Or even a piece of homemade flapjack (ie not very sugary, with dried fruits, nuts/seeds and honey)?

If he is though, then great! Maybe as suggested above, more savoury options might be more tempting to him. Marmite or cream cheese on toast? And of course eggs are brilliant. If you're pressed for time then hardboiled eggs can be cooked in advanced and just get them out of the fridge when you need them. An egg and some buttered toast is really nice, and alongside a glass of orange juice, is very very healthy - much more so than alot of cereals

My girls do like their cereals but also get bored of eating the same things every day, so we sometimes have a bit of a treat and do bacon sarnies, or even pancakes on the weekends!

We have:
HM muffins (various kinds sweet and savoury)
pancakes (dropscones) with banana and honey or homemade pineapple syrup
toast and peanut butter
breakfast cookies (huge oatie cookies made with peanut butter, raisins, honey etc.)
leftover baked potatoes cut into cubes and fried with some chopped bacon and onion
flapjacks
omelette in rolls
cheesy toast
savoury flapjacks
various kinds of scones
coffee cake topped with applesauce and cinnamon
puff pastry triangles filled with jam or other fruity spread stuff
banana bread/apple oat bread/tropical fruit bread or similar
toast or bread filled with peanut butter super spread! (peanut butter mixed with mashed banana, coconut, raisins, dried milk powder, honey and some lemon juice.)
hm soft pretzels
scrambled egg rice
hot rice cereal

Depending on what they are eating they always have either milk or fruit juice to drink. One of my kids like wraps for breakfast with some grated cheese and cooked ham. She can eat this while she is doing other stuff, so it's like food on the go. Perhaps something like that would be an idea while you walk to school in the morning.
