Here are few fast and healthy breakfast meals that you and your kids could eat in the morning. They all do not take much of your precious time – and they are not cereal. You and your kids deserve better!
Fast and Healthy Breakfast Meals That Aren’t Cereal
1. Oatmeal
I prefer my oatmeal with whole grain rolled oats, berries, raw almonds, and pumpkin or chia seeds. Sounds amazing, don’t you agree? You can use water, whole milk or almond milk to make your oatmeal. Whatever you and your kids like!
2. Avocado Toast
Add hard-boiled egg or scramble eggs to your avocado toast and you and your little ones will be full all morning!
3. Peanut Butter Blueberry Banana Bread
I found this amazing recipe on Mis-Cakes Oven Adventures. It’s perfect for breakfast and your kids will definitely love it!
4. Apple and Raisin Quinoa Porridge
Breakfast Drama Queen shared this awesome recipe on her blog and I had to share it with my readers. “It has a delectable nutty flavor, is very filling and – while not quite as creamy as oatmeal – is still really creamy. And as an added bonus, it also reheats well in the microwave!” – she said.
5. Parfait
Use a tall mason jar. Take plain yogurt, add some granola, fruit, more yogurt, more granola, almonds, pumpkin seeds… You can even eat it on the go!
6. Waffle Sandwich
Throw two waffles into the toaster. Crack an egg into a pan with a some butter. Add some tomatoes and salad and the breakfast is ready. You can also go with sweet version. Take one piece waffle and throw some peanut butter and jelly on it.
7. Fruit Smoothie
Use any fruit you like. Full of vitamins – perfect breakfast!
8. Breakfast Cookies
There are so many different recipes for tasty healthy cookies you can eat for breakfast. Just pick your favorite.
9. Cottage Cheese Pancakes
I found this awesome recipe at Monique’ Ambitious Kitchen and you should definitely check it out. Tasty as the real pancakes but much healthier. They are also gluten-free.
10. Grill Sandwiches
Prepare the stuffing the night before and simply fill in and grill in a toaster in the morning. You can add almost everything to a grill sandwich. If you like this one from the photo, it’s Sautéed Veggie Grilled Cheese Panini with Fresh Basil from Laurenda’s blog.
11. Egg Muffin
The best way is to make them in bulk on Sunday night (or whenever it suits you best). In the morning you just need to grab few and heat them up in the microwave for one minute. Then you can even eat the muffin on the go. Here you have healthy breakfast meals for a few days.
12. Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich
Ingredients: Banana, Peanut butter, Bread – can it be any simpler than this? Just put them together and you have yourself a beautiful and tasty sandwich!
13. Bruschetta
Variations are numerous. You can incorporate chopped tomatoes, beans, fresh herbs – anything you like.
14. Jelly Doughnut Mini Muffins
Breakfast Drama Queen strikes again. These jelly doughnut mini muffins are amazing and your kids will love them. Check out the recipe on her blog.

Additional tips to save some time on making healthy breakfast meals:
Make breakfast the night before. All you have to do is reheat it in the morning and have your delicious breakfast.
If you don’t want to make the whole breakfast, then you can prepare ingredients for your healthy breakfast meals the night before. Take out pans and bowls that you might need and prepare all the ingredients. So, in the morning it is all ready for you to use.
I loved this post! cereal does get boring. I pinned some recipes for future reference 🙂
My kids are all about granola – it just runs out so fast! (We like to make our own instead of buy.) Luckily, my 11-year-old is an awesome granola maker. Cereal is fast and easy, but it’s not cheap and doesn’t fill them up, so I love these ideas.
That is delicious collection of healthy breakfast, thanks for sharing with hearth and soul blog hop. I would like to try parfait. thanks for sharing with Hearth and soul blog hop
