From protein-packed eggs to healthy oatmeal, jump-start your day with these recipes.
The best way to start your morning off on the right foot is with a delicious breakfast. Whether its a long, leisurely A.M. meal with the family (brunch recipes anyone?) or a speedy on-the-go breakfast while you're on your way to work, the first dish of the day is of course an important one. Our best breakfast ideas run the gamut from easy to epic, but one thing's for sure: They're all delicious.
If you're looking for simple breakfast ideas that you can whip up on even the busiest mornings, we've gathered plenty of make-ahead meals and recipes that take under 15 minutes to put together. In the mood for a healthy breakfast food? Bake up veggie- and protein-packed breakfasts such as egg bites or build a beautiful yogurt bowl topped with raspberry chia jam and crunchy granola. Or have a low-calorie, balanced breakfast fueled with healthy fats, fibrous carbs and packed with protein.
If a sweet breakfast is your speed, dive into a fluffy stack of homemade pancakes drizzled with maple syrup or a delicious chocolate bran muffin that uses up your bumper crop of zucchini. Plus breakfast recipes with eggs go way beyond your basic fry. Try a creamy scramble garnished with smoked trout or a sausage, egg and cheese leveled up with spicy peppers. No matter how your breakfast tastes, you'll find a recipe that makes the most important meal of the day extra delicious.
