Whole-Wheat Muffin with Boiled Egg

For many busy families, breakfast is often rushed and on-the-go as kids and parents try to get to school and work on time. Don't worry, take time out to put together one of our breakfast food ideas, ready in 10 minutes or under. For example, you can make this whole-wheat muffin with boiled egg. The creamy soft-boiled egg and a pinch of dill will make an additional pop of flavour and fragrance, the perfect combination to have a champion breakfast for you and your family!

Breakfast Popsicles

Kids love popsicles, so it’s one of the breakfast food ideas that is perfect for special moments! Prepare the kids' favourite fruits with non-fat vanilla yogurt or a fruit flavored yogurt, just make sure that the flavour of the yogurt complement the flavour of the fruit (strawberries taste great with a vanilla flavored yogurt, but may not go well with a chocolate-flavored one). Chop the fruit into small pieces and mix it in with the yogurt. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze. Some good flavor combinations to try are kiwis, strawberries, and blueberries. Using mangoes, pineapple, peaches, and raspberries also make a delicious popsicle. For a little extra crunch, dunk the finished popsicles in granola and start a summer day with a delicious treat.

3-Layer Strawberry Pancake

Some breakfast food ideas sound fancy when in fact, it's actually very easy. The beauty of this pancake is that all you need are simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry like flour, eggs, baking powder, and milk. In the cooking process, simply add sliced strawberries to the batter. When the pancakes are done, stack 3 on top of each other, and add some more strawberries to the top. Serve with whipped cream or simply add your favourite syrup. You can ask your kids to help you stack the pancakes too for a delicious tower game!

Spinach and Cheddar Quiche

Yes, it’s possible to make single-serve quiche in the microwave! Cover half a cup of spinach with water in a mug and microwave it for a minute. Drain the water and add an egg, milk, cheese, and a crumbled slice of bacon. Mix thoroughly, and then microwave for three more minutes. Take out and serve for a perfect quick and healthy start to the day.

Breakfast Cookies

Delicious bite-sized butter cookies are sure to be a favorite treat for kids and adults alike. Their timeless sweet and buttery flavor is perfectly paired with a smear of jam and a glass of milk in the morning.

For example, you can try Danisa Butter Cookies. Made with an Authentic Danish Recipe, Danisa will create intimate memories laced with the smoothness and delicacy, a timeless symbol of prestige and appreciation.
