Breakfast is undoubtedly the most important meal of the day. In the past I have always tried to have a sit down breakfast, waiting for everyone to be up and finished with their chores. This year in an effort to get our mornings moving along a bit more, I’m letting the kids start eating when they are ready. That means breakfast is a bit staggered throughout the morning, but it lets my early risers get up and eat and get started on their school day.
I have been trying to come up with a few new breakfast ideas to add to our schedule, something besides cereal and oatmeal. Although I love oatmeal and can eat it just about everyday, my kids get a bit tired of it. And we no longer eat eggs, which we used to have a couple of times during the week. I want breakfast to be hearty, healthy, fast and easy. So far we have had good results with Banana Bread and Oatmeal breakfast cookies.
Add in some Shakeology, a piece of fruit, a non-dairy yogurt and my kids are good to go for a busy school morning. Enjoy!
This banana bread recipe is so timely. We just found out last week my youngest is allergic to egg, dairy and wheat. I have been very busy trying to recreate the way I cook my favorite recipes. I found a great one for pancakes – I’ll send it to you. I am going to try this today!
I would love the pancake recipe, so would my kids! Thanks. I would highly recommend the Plant Powered Kitchen site, she has a ton of recipes, many kid friendly. I have her cookbook, Let Them Eat Vegan and that is good as well. Sorry to hear your daughter is allergic to those things
Oh, love the breakfast cookies…They sound easy, delicious, and healthy! Going to try those soon, Thanks!:)
Great recipes, Jen. I saw the banana bread recipe before and haven’t gotten around to trying it. I’ll add those cookies to my “to bake” list. Always love trying new things!
Thank you!! I can not wait to try each of these.
