Quick and Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Weekday mornings can be hectic. Between wrangling kids, organizing backpacks, packing lunches, and (gasp!) getting yourself ready too, breakfast becomes an afterthought. Don’t skip the most important meal of the day! These healthy breakfast recipes are quick to prepare and easy to eat while you’re running out the door and on the go.

These taco roll-ups are way better than any breakfast burrito you get at a drive-thru. Filled with a healthy combination of eggs, chicken sausage, and reduced-fat cheese (plus mix-ins of your choice), they’ll  keep you full and keep the calories at-bay. Make a bunch and store in an airtight container in the freezer so they’re ready when you are.

These make-ahead egg muffins are the perfect combination of sweet and savory, complete with fresh apples and an unexpected French toast flavor (believe us, you’ll love it!). Whip up a batch in the Brownie Pan and you have the perfect portable meal for the whole family.

There’s a reason overnight oats are so popular—they’re the ultimate fuss-free, healthy breakfast for busy people. Opt for a chocolate-almond version, which features the tasty combination of cocoa powder and almond milk. And fruit-lovers will crave this strawberry-flax seed recipe.

Pressure cooking retains more nutrients compared to other cooking methods because it uses higher heat and shorter cook times. It’s also a great way to cook perfectly light, fluffy eggs. With this pressure cooker recipe, you can make breakfast for the whole week in less than 30 minutes. And you’ll save even more time if you use leftover vegetables like bell peppers or onions, or precooked meat like bacon or ham.

Muffins from the microwave? Yes! This tasty mug muffin comes together in just a few minutes. Combine an egg, butter, milk, vanilla, flour, sugar, baking powder, blueberries, and lemon zest in the Ceramic Egg Cooker, and into the microwave it goes. Take the cooker with you and enjoy the sweet start to your day.

This easy microwave omelet is a great way to use leftover veggies from last night’s dinner. Throw some eggs, cheese, and your favorite cooked veggies into the Ceramic Egg Cooker, pop it in the microwave, and a minute later your omelet is ready to head out the door with you.

    I have yet too try anything but scrambled eggs in my Ceramic Egg Cooker, and I really need to try the muffins out.

      My husband loves his oatmeal in it. We also have some dessert recipes that work in the ceramic egg cooker.

    These quinoa balls look like something we need to try! Gluten free breakfast grab and go is really hard to come by.

    Great post!

    I’m actually a big fan of omelettes so I’m particularly keen to try the first one on this list. The problem is, I don’t yet have a ceramic egg cooker 😀

    Actually, another really great read on this topic is an article I found recently on Health Ambition, here: https://goo.gl/TH5eK2

    I haven’t tried them all, but I’d say particularly #18—the granola parfait—is an absolute winner for a quick morning snack.

    Anyway, keep up the good work!

    I make a big batch of steel cut oatmeal and freeze portions in the brownie pan. 80 seconds in the microwave, add local honey, slivered almonds and dried cranberries; then I’m good to go until lunch.

    Can you boil an egg in the ceramic egg cooker?
