Hello hello and good morning, friends!
I have been in a bit of a breakfast rut lately but I am trying to remedy that and that’s why we are here with this post today. I needed a reminder of all the breakfast ideas that are quick and easy. Because honestly, I can’t believe I am saying it but I have grown tired of my usual oatmeal. It just feels stale and boring but I love oats for all their benefits so I have been trying to eat them in pancakes and/or baked at the very least (and delicious toppings help).
If you have a delicious go-to breakfast lately that you think I’d like, please message me on Insta because I really could use the inspiration! But for now, here are some breakfast ideas I pulled from past posts to inspire myself and hopefully you, too.
M ~ Pumpkin mug oats because it’s the season and at least this version of oatmeal has the texture and taste of pumpkin bread/cake. To a mug, I add 4 tbsp oat flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp pumpkin puree, 1 tbsp maple syrup, about 1/4 cup soy milk, dash of cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg, and sometimes I top with a handful of chocolate chips. Bake in microwave for about 2 1/2 – 3 minutes.
T ~ A simple tofu scramble on toast is really energizing and kicks off my day with a lot of protein (which is a struggle for me). A scramble seems like a lot of work some days but whenever I do it, I see how fast and easy it comes together. I like mine topped with hot sauce and avocado. Sometimes I add spinach to it, too.
W ~ Oat and chickpea flour pancakes topped with cinnamon apples is always amazing when you have a little more time in the morning or if you prep your pancakes and apples over the weekend. For the apples, I simply slice thin and add to a pan with a little water, maple syrup, and cinnamon – cover and let cook over low-medium heat until soft. I sometimes add a little vanilla yogurt, too.
Th ~ GF toast topped with vegan cream cheese and cucumber or tomato slices. When I need something savory, this one is always very satisfying.
F ~ When I am really struggling for ideas by the end of the week or am not in the mood to make breakfast, I do really love a good bowl of cereal. Lately I am obsessed with cinnamon Chex. That with some soy milk for the protein and some fruit on the side always hits the spot. Is it the healthiest meal here? No. Is it the realest reality some days? Totally.
