    With this roundup of easy breakfast ideas, you'll be sure find something everyone will love, even on busy mornings!

    We don't eat big breakfasts in our house every day, which is why it's special when you can take the time to make breakfast into a meal instead of just rushing through a bowl of cereal or a pop tart. Get out of that breakfast rut!

    Breakfast bun, oatmeal, baked oatmeal, and a smoothie in a collage.

    One of our favorite breakfasts is homemade waffles, so I can't wait to try the Chocolate Zucchini Waffles below!

    You'll find everything here from easy homemade protein bars you can grab & go to Blueberry Sweet Buns which make a delicious morning meal. That sounds so good, I might just make breakfast for dinner! 

    Start enjoying these delicious easy breakfast ideas this week for that most important meal of the day! These recipes make your morning routine easier. And if you're looking for meals for the end of the day, check out this list of Italian dinner ideas.

    What to Serve with Breakfast

    A glass of juice like orange or pineapple would be delicious with these easy breakfast ideas. If you have never tasted watermelon juice, you've got to try it! It's so refreshing and hydrating!

    A side of fresh fruit or one of the fruit and yogurt parfaits is a great option with any of these easy delicious breakfast ideas.

    For those family members who say they just don't eat breakfast, serve a glass of juice, piece of fruit, or a slice of toast, and pack a scone or egg muffin for later when they're hungry before lunchtime.

    FAQ

    What is the Easiest Breakfast Idea on this List that's still Healthy?

    I think the healthy baked oatmeal with blueberries or the tropical coconut oatmeal porridge are both super easy and so good for you. No added sugar in either and both are very filling.

    Can these Breakfast Ideas be Made Ahead of Time?

    Most of these recipes can be made ahead of time for quick breakfasts. Check each individual recipe for details.

    Is it Okay to Eat Eggs for Breakfast Every Day?

    I personally eat egg whites quite a bit, but recent research has shown that it's perfectly fine to eat eggs every day as long as you don't have risk factors like heart disease or diabetes.
