Hit me with low/no sugar breakfast recipes!

[Savoir Faire]

Hello all....

I am in desperate need of some new breakfast recipes. How many times can one do smoothies, eggs or oatmeal??? Too many, if you ask me.

I personally eat no sugar but the kids do...but I'd like them to eat less. I can't think of many things to make for breakfast...seems like I'm always cooking them oatmeal while making myself a smoothie.

I'd love for you to tell me what your family (with little ones) loves to eat for breakfast that has either really low or no sugar.

Breakfast casserole - you can put anything you want in. Mine usually has sausage, hashbrowns, eggs and cheese and I put in whatever veggies I have.

make a giant batch of mini-quiches and freeze them, lots of different combos -- red pepper & feta, mush. & cheddar, etc. just pop them in the microwave or toaster oven to warm in the morning, you can even make them crust-less if you want...

yoghurt & frozen berries -- my kids love this!

make a big batch of various pancakes on Sunday -- blueberries, choc. chip, etc. and cook and cool and freeze in small batches, then they're toaster ready -- you can also do waffles...

bagels with cream cheese

toasted tomato sandwiches

make a batch of healthy muffins -- you can make ones that use applesauce instead of sugar! chock full of nuts (protein) and fruit and pull out the night before!

sometimes when I make bacon or sausage for Sunday morning brunch, I cook extra to do bacon & tomato sandwiches Monday morning or the sausage rounds to do Egg McMuffin-type things with a fried egg on an English muffin... or use one of my premade pancakes to wrap around a sausage link for 'pigs in blankets' for breakfast!

I've never made them myself, but a friend of mine does a batch of homemade, no sugar, cereal bars once a month and has them in the freezer for easy breakfasts...

that's all I can think of for now, but then again my kids love smoothies and toast with some sort of nut butter! easy peasy!!!

oh, and breakfast burritos!!!

My mainstays for breakfasts are eggs - they are incredibly versatile and can be eaten a dozen different ways. They're also full of healthy protein and fats and will stick with you longer than a piece of toast or a bowl of oatmeal.

Egg muffins - basically crustless quiche, add meats, veggies, cheese, etc.
Egg custard - eggs, cream, a touch of honey and some fruit.
Soft boiled - growing up soft boiled eggs were always served with butter and corn flakes (all stirred together). I still love them this way.
Steamed - A couple eggs cracked into a custard cup, steamed until solid, topped with butter and tabasco
Poached - growing up they were poached in milk and served over toast. Now I poach in water and serve with brown butter... maybe some good sourdough toast to dip in them.
Hard cooked - chopped up on top of buttered toast, or eaten straight with a sprinkling of salt, doesn't matter.

And then of course you have your traditional fried/scrambled, with or without added goodies. Omelettes, mixed scrambles, stuffed into a tortilla or between toast, etc. Quiches, fritattas, casseroles, even bread puddings/baked french toast. The options with eggs are numerous.
