Put the toast down! You’re only eating it because it’s quick and easy, right? But it’s a bit uninspiring. Not as uninspiring as a bowl of cereal eaten while running out the door, but it’s not far off!
What if I told you that it doesn’t have to be this way? That you can rustle up a tasty and filling breakfast in a few minutes? It’s possible. These 5 beautiful breakfast recipes from the Recipe Guru website will allow you to calmly start your day, and prevent you from reaching for the biscuits at 10!
BANANA AND COCONUT PANCAKES
Pancakes are the perfect weekend breakfast treat, but Niamh Browne’s 3-ingredient pancake recipe can be whipped up in seconds, making them perfect for any day of the week. Niamh tops hers with juicy slices of blood orange and maple syrup, but these versatile pancakes are just crying out for your favourite toppings. Find the recipe here.
BLUEBERRY COMPOTE
This gorgeous blueberry compote is not a breakfast in itself, but it can be made in advance and kept in the fridge for a few days. Stir it into porridge or yoghurt, or pile it on top of pancakes for a quick and easy way to jazz up your morning. Find the recipe by Nessa Robins here.
BERRY SMOOTHIE BOWL
Smoothies are deceptively filling, and a great way to eat into your five-a-day. This smoothie bowl is packed with extra nutrients thanks to toppings like cashew nuts, seeds and coconut. As an added bonus, it’s Instagram-level beautiful! Find Niamh Browne’s recipe here.
CINNAMON AND PECAN BUCKWHEAT GRANOLA
There are few things better than the feeling of smugness you get when you eat something that’s really good for you, and Indy Power’s granola recipe ticks that box! This breakfast recipe takes a bit longer to make (20 minutes in the oven) so throw it together at the weekend and keep it in a jar. All you’ll need to do before work is add yoghurt and fruit for a breakfast you’ll love. Find the recipe here.
SHAKSHUKA
Okay, so you’re not going to make this during the week when you’re running late for work, but there’s nothing like a delicious, indulgent breakfast at the weekend. Shakshuka combines a spiced tomato sauce with gently poached eggs. This is a one-pan wonder can be ready in less than 30 minutes, and it’s the perfect breakfast to feed a crowd. Just add some bread (or that toast I told you to put down earlier!) and enjoy. It's a favourite here in Recipe Guru HQ and you can find the recipe here.
