Kids Breakfast Ideas
As an adult I definitely fell into a breakfast repeat. I think before I had children I could count on one hand my breakfast variations! It's so easy to fall into this trap, mornings can be so rushed especially when you have a school run to do or get yourself and the kids ready before the crack of dawn while fighting sleep deprivation.
Having kids definitely changed my opinion on breakfast. Gone are the daily bowl of cheerios! I have touched on the importance of food variation before so here are our favourite breakfasts to hopefully beat the breakfast bore.
1. P
orridge Fingers - This was my sons first ever breakfast as they are perfect for baby led weaning beginners, great for keeping little tummy's full and don't take very long to make. Find the recipe here. You can also add in fruit or raisins to porridge fingers, we love blueberries.

2. Pancakes - Who doesn't love pancakes? I use a recipe from the blw cookbook for scotch pancakes as they are slightly thicker. Simply put 125g of self raising flour in a bowl and make a well. Break 1 egg into the well then slowly add 150ml of milk starting in the middle and gradually work in the flour. Continue beating until any lumps have disappeared and the consistency is like double cream. Fry in some oil or unsalted butter in a very hot non stick frying pan for a few minutes each side.

4. Toast & Bagels - Granted toast on its own is pretty boring but just a few ingredients can completely jazz up the humble slice of toast. Some of our favourites are mashed banana, mashed avocado, peanut butter and cream cheese with mashed berries.

6. Crumpets - These are great speedy breakfasts and like toast you don't just need to stick to butter. Our favourites include peanut butter or mashed berries. Crumpets can be quite high in salt so make sure to look at the nutritional information before buying.

8. Eggs - With so many variations it's hard not to see why this is a staple part of many peoples breakfast. Eggy bread (french toast) is our favourite use of eggs. Simply whisk up 2 eggs with a splash of milk then dip a slice of bread in fully coating each side then fry in some oil or unsalted butter until golden. Obviously hard boiling, frying and scrambling are all good ways to enjoy eggs for breakfast. Sadly my children don't really like eggs but I keep offering them in the hope that one day they will change their minds!
9. Muffins - Our absolute favourite muffin recipe has to be banana and blueberry. We always have a batch of these in the freezer. Find the recipe here. These can easily be adaptable to different soft fruits.

. Quesadilla - Sweet quesadillas are a great change for breakfast. You can include whatever you like! Some of our favourites are banana and peanut butter. Simply add your desired filling into a tortilla wrap and fold in half. Place in a warm skillet or under the grill for a couple of minutes each side. Find out more here.

11. Granola - Homemade granola is seriously delicious, it's so much tastier and healthier than shop bought variations. One of the things I love about granola is that the variations are limitless and completely custom able. You can find my homemade granola recipe here.
12. Peanut Butter Porridge Cups - If you are looking for a great way to break the breakfast boredom then these porridge cups are a great idea to try. Fill them with natural yogurt and fruit for a delicious and healthy breakfast. You can the recipe here.
