Thanks for sharing the recipes! I have a tendency to skip breakfast so I definitely need to work on that. The Banana Bran Muffins sound great :)

Yes, they do. I didn’t get a chance yet to try them, but they’re on my list!
I’m a toasted sandwich brekky person…I guess I could slice up some of the things I use but I have everything in the fridge so it’s just a case of layering the preferred item on bread and popping in the sandwich maker…
My usual fillings are ‘spread on both slices’; raw onion finely sliced, 2 slices of cheese, thinly sliced tomatoe to cover, some cooked ‘side back bacon’
OK it’s probably not all that healthy but it can keep me going for a long period in the morning. Occasionally I will have kind of omelette with it – if there time.
I cook all the bacon in advance so it’s in the fridge – removing excess fat as I place it on the bread. If I’ve not bacon I have some things like a meat patty. But I find the bacon just adds something moreish to the mix.
with an additonal hot chocolate made from 1/2 water/milk I’m really well stoked
I used to have oat porridge, but I’ve gone off that temporarily :-)

I’m in favour of porridge for breakfast these days. I have it with cinnamon and grated apple, which is really nice.
I made Blueberry Protein Pancakes this morning — though they took about 10 minutes (probably about the same time as that egg white omelette), they’re delicious, filling, and healthy.
Throw a cup of raw oatmeal, 3/4 cup egg whites, 1 cup fat-free Greek Yogurt or Cottage Cheese, and 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon in a blender. Puree until smooth, and then cook just like regular pancakes!
I’ve posted the full recipe on my blog:

Hi Andrew,
I’m going to try your idea when I get back from holidays, it sounds fab :-)
Wow!
I think I have found another favourite blog.
I’m going to make that parfait! I’m sick of not knowing what to eat for breakfast (Soy milk/Fibre Plus Cereal)….BORING!
YUMMMM
Good news… thanks! :-)
Just wondering, for the yogurt parfait, would frozen berries left out overnight to defrost suffice? I see a lot of great sounding breakfast ideas using berries, but they are so expensive fresh and some would go to waste if I for whatever reason didn’t get to eat them all over a few days.
Thanks for a great blog, glad I found it :)
Hi Kelly,
Yes, frozen berries work a treat. In fact, that’s what I use all of the time. I find fresh berries are so expensive too, and they tend to go off too quickly. But, having them frozen in the freezer is great, because I always know they are there when needed.
I actually eat mine frozen at times too, very delicious! Frozen grapes are great also.
I made the banana bran muffins today cause my husband and I couldnt decide what to have and they were delicious. I did alter the recipe a little instead of using buttermilk I used plain greek yogurt and a little bit of regular milk! I like using yogurt instead of milk cause it keeps things a little more moist. It turned out great! Thank you so much!
Hi Samantha, Thanks so much for your comment. I’m really glad you liked them :-)
Hi Melanie
Made the Banana Bran Muffins the other day, is the recipe right 1 tbsp (tablespoon) of baking powder, I think it must be as you have 1 tsp(teaspoon) of cinnamon. It has a slight bitter taste. Perhaps I use a bit less.
Hi Joy,
Yes, it is 1 tbsp of b powder according to the original recipe. You know, I cannot remember making these, and I’m wondering if I didn’t get around to it after posting this article, so I can’t say if they turned out okay for me. Perhaps they needed a little more sugar, too? 1/3 cup isn’t much.
