Breakfast Muffins And Bars

Vegan Banana Oatmeal Cookies, Food, Tableware, Ingredient, Recipe

A staple for the quick breakfasts as well, there are actually a ton of recipes around that allow you to make these snacks at home with very little time. Of course it helps in some cases to cook these after work and have them the next morning. Regardless, these are packed with all kinds of nutrients. Here are some to look at:

  • To no one’s surprise, we’ll be talking about quinoa muffins. Adding quinoa in anything is good and in this case, it’s being added to coconut yogurt muffins. What’s nice about these muffins is you can also add other ingredients like flaxseeds, oats, and banana. And if you are feeling bold, toss in some applesauce too.
  • For those who want that sugary edge, this is your list. There are lots of ways to add chocolate into the mix like these peanut butter banana oat breakfast cookies. Unlike other cookies, this is packed with all kinds of nutrients that you can imagine.
  • A good vegan option for people are the banana zucchini oatmeal cups. This is packed with veggies and grains to start your morning off right. The only thing to note is keeping them in the fridge when storing them.
  • If you had apple crisps before then you know how good these treats are. However there is a breakfast variant of that that is surprisingly healthy for you. It incorporates oatmeal into the mix to make it a hearty snack, but also a portable breakfast.
  • A Martha Stewart recipe right out the door makes it clear these are incredible. She calls them morning glory muffins and it makes sense when you look at them. These are packed with carrots, zucchini, and are lightly sweetened with raisins and a little bit of sugar. There are healthier substitutes out there of course, but if you want a treat, this is a good one.
  • For another variant to Martha Stewart’s recipe, you can consider the zucchini, banana, and chocolate chip muffins. It has the sweetness that some people need, while also packed with other nutrients that your body needs in the morning.
  • Hopping over to granola bars, we’ll cover a 5-ingredient granola bar. As the name implies, there are only five ingredients, making it budget friendly and easy for anyone to make. For those looking for a vegan option, swap out the honey with maple syrup.

 

 

Egg Dishes

Breakfast Egg Muffins, Food, Ingredient, Tableware, Plant, Recipe, Natural foods

Eggs are a classic dish and even if you’re not big into cooking, you know there are many ways to fry the eggs. The recipes below are going beyond simply frying them and incorporating them in some incredible dishes both in flavour and nutrients. Have a look:

  • First off is your traditional breakfast egg muffins. Unlike traditional muffins, these lack all the sugar aspects. If you make a batch of these, these will keep you for a full week. They are also very easy to make. What’s nice about egg muffins is you can toss in any vegetable or protein in there that you’d like.
  • For those not wanting to bake, you can also consider this spinach and cheddar microwave quiche. It’s as simple as putting spinach, egg and cheddar into a bowl and microwaving it. You can even toss it into a mug if you are in that much of a hurry.
  • Another dish that can be made overnight is the slow cooker sausage and egg casserole. It’s delightful as you wake up to the smell of sausage in your house or apartment. From there, it’s so easy to scoop some breakfast out and put it on a plate. Our suggestion is to add layers of veggies, sausage, and cheese before topping it with egg and cream.
  • The last egg dish to cover is cheesy spinach baked eggs. Fried eggs are nice, but baking them can also turn out lovely as well. This particular recipe forgoes baking the egg into a muffin and instead fries it as is.

 

 

Breakfasts For Vegans

Dark Chocolate Quinoa Breakfast Bowl, Food, Tableware, Ingredient, Plate, Recipe

The options discussed above certainly have some vegan variants. It’s a matter of omitting meats or swapping a few of the ingredients. That said, the following recipes don’t require you to swap out any ingredients or remove them. For those who are vegan, here are some options to look at:

  • First is the chocolate quinoa breakfast bowl. For those wanting that sugar rush in the morning, this is our suggestion. What’s nice is that the chocolate offered here is dark chocolate – the more healthier option for chocolate overall. Toss that in with a bowlful of quinoa cooked in almond milk and you’ve got a breakfast with lots of nutrients. Of course you can also add in various fruits as well.
  • An alternative to the quinoa breakfast bowl is the warm fruit bowl. This takes a healthy dessert and converts it into a healthy breakfast. All you need to do is bake a blend of berries in the oven until soft, sprinkle with some dark chocolate and crunchy toasted coconut and toss it in with some warm or cold milk.
  • Another muffin to consider is the vegan blueberry flax breakfast muffins. These muffins aren’t as sweet as traditional muffins and offer plenty of nutrients thanks to the flaxseed and blueberries. You can also add in mashed bananas into the mix too.
  • For those hard pressed for time, there is chocolate peanut butter granola apple bites. These are great during apple season as there is more variety in your apples. All you do is cut up an apple into slices, sprinkle oats or granola. Add in some cinnamon and drizzle melted chocolate on top.
  • A variant to scrambled eggs is the southwest tofu scramble. If you got some leftover tofu from last night or a mixture of veggies, you can incorporate that into an easy eggless scramble. All you need to do after that is toss in some potatoes on the side and you’re done.
  • The last option to look at is peanut butter and strawberry jelly compote waffles. The compote part of this recipe might make it sound tricky to make or too sophisticated, but it’s not. This particular recipe is not something that can be made very quickly, but if your weekend morning is slower and you’re open to cooking in the kitchen for a little bit, you can manage to make this delightful recipe. What’s nice about this recipe is it’s also gluten-free on top of it being vegan.
