Healthy sweet breakfasts that keep you full
A sweet breakfast can be a nourishing way to start your day. With the right ingredients, it’s delicious, filling and good for you. Think fruit and oats, plus a boost of healthy fats from seeds and nuts. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Cottage cheese pancakes: Only 3 ingredients and still my number one pancake recipe. Packed with protein and fiber, and delicious with any topping.
- Zucchini cake: A delicious breakfast cake you bake ahead. In the morning, pop a slice in the toaster and spread on some nut butter. Heavenly.
- French toast: A classic, and still a great way to use up stale bread. The eggs give you a protein boost that keeps you full for hours.
These sweet breakfast recipes are ideal for a healthy start to your day, with no added sugar.
Make-ahead sweet breakfasts for busy mornings
Some mornings you’re short on time but still crave a good breakfast. Luckily, plenty of recipes come together in no time or can be made ahead. These are perfect for busy mornings:
- Apple crumble muffins: Completely sugar free and bursting with apple flavor. Bake them on the weekend and enjoy them all week long.
- Banana bread: Cut thick slices, toast them, or take them along on the go. My favorite? Topped with peanut butter and extra banana slices.
- Homemade granola: Make a batch on the weekend and sprinkle it over your yogurt, oatmeal or smoothie bowl all week for extra crunch.
With these quick sweet breakfast recipes, you never have to choose between flavor and time. Perfect for when you’re in a rush!
Slow, sweet weekend breakfasts
The weekend is the time for a long, leisurely breakfast. If you love a sweet start, there are plenty of recipes to try on a slow Saturday morning. Whether you’re craving something indulgent or something lighter, here are a few ideas:
- Fluffy vegan pancakes: For a real treat, make a stack of light, airy pancakes and serve them with fresh strawberries, blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Healthy cheesecake: A light, fluffy breakfast that tastes like cake! There’s no more festive way to start your day.
- Speculoos rolls: Make your own breakfast pastries by baking speculoos cookies and crescent dough together. Unbelievably good!
