Best Toddler Breakfast Recipes

Healthy Breakfast Muffins– These are perfect for snacks, breakfast, and even to put into a lunchbox. I made these before we were gluten free so if you are looking for a GF recipe I would recommend using King Arthur Measure for Measure flour. I love the way it cooks up!

Egg Muffins– I like these because you can literally use any igredients that you have on hand and that your toddler prefers. Totally okay to even start with just cheese. For dairy free options my family loves nutritional yeast and So Delicious cheddar cheese. Both have a great flavor and make for a healthy breakfast.

Sheetpan Pancakes– Who doesn’t love pancakes? Most kids love carbs, right? But, these are made with extra love and plant fiber, protein, and omegas. So they will leave your toddler feeling full and ready for the day. Plus, if you have some cookie cutters, let the kids cut a shape out and then eat them up. This is often a favorite toddler breakfast recipe.

Tips for making a Convenient and healthy breakfast

1. Plan ahead. On Sunday I sit down for about 10 minutes and I think about what all we have going on for the week. I then meal plan for the week which helps save on groceries and keeps me from buying extra things we don’t need. It’s totally a good idea to plan your breakfast out too. This way you can plan meals that you know your kids will enjoy too.
2. Make ahead. When I make a batch of pancakes, like these here, I will make enough to split in half. I pour half the batch into a wide mouth mason jar and store in the fridge. This way I can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or whatever I want to it when I’m ready to use it. Then when Wednesday hits and I’m tired from the week already, I just whip out my mason jar and pour out the mix into my pancake or waffle maker. Whoop there it is! Done in less than five minutes.
3. Freeze. Muffins are great to make in a large batch and freeze. I love these mini muffin pans from amazon because it makes just the right size and plenty of muffins to save and freeze. When ready to use just pop into the microwave, convection oven, toaster, or set out ahead of time to defrost.
4. Toast it up. Buy a whole grain toast with quality ingredients and pop that bad boy into the toaster. Toast can be topped with all sorts of amazing toppings such as any nut butter, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia, flax, fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries or bananas. I also love to top with avocado, radish slices, sea salt, and pinch of chili powder. You can even add a sliced boiled egg. It can be topped with honey,, peanut butter butter and hemp seeds. Or even peanut butter and jelly with chia seeds. Plus, this is a great opportunity to get toddlers to help make their breakfast. You toast the bread and have them pick the toppings.
