Back-to-School Breakfast Ideas
Getting everyone out of the door on a school morning is hard enough without having to battle over breakfast too. But we all know how important a decent breakfast is to start the day right – especially for kids. Whether they are heading into the classroom, off to college or just grumpy in the morning (like some of mine), having a few easy go-to breakfast ideas can make all the difference.
This list is packed with simple back-to-school breakfast ideas. They are mostly quick to make, filling and tasty. And most importantly, even picky eaters will want to eat them. Some are hot, some are cold, and most can be prepped ahead or thrown together in minutes. So whether you have got time for a full cooked breakfast or just need something you can hand them as they head out the door, there is something here that will do the trick.
We have the classics – think bacon and cheese omelettes, eggy bread and scrambled eggs on toast. If you are going low-carb or keto, try the bacon and egg muffins. There are quick sweet options too, like French toast made with cinnamon bread or healthy yoghurt fruit pots. And if you have a bit more time, whip up some muesli pancakes or a mango banana smoothie.
Not all kids want breakfast the moment they wake up, so you’ll also find a few ideas that work well later in the morning or even as a packed snack – like dippy eggs, shredded beef sandwiches or a chicken mayo sarnie.
Because back-to-school doesn’t need to mean back to boring breakfasts.
