20 Super Fun Breakfast Ideas Worth Waking Up For

If you are anything like me, you probably find yourself making the same thing everyday for breakfast. Even at the grocery store, I tend to load my cart up with the same old, boring things every week. I’m perfectly fine with eating eggs and fruit every morning for breakfast, but my family (especially the kids!) love it when I make something a little more exciting, so I’ve decided to make it a family tradition to cook or bake up something fun for breakfast every Sunday morning. That’s what Sundays are for, right!? That and wearing your pajamas the entire day.
I especially like the recipes that are fun and easy to make for a crowd– I’m thinking Christmas morning! I’ve found that muffin tins are excellent for making individual sized breakfast cups to serve a lot of people fast. There are so many possibilities, and a lot of these recipes are really quick and easy, too.

1. Fruit Ring Pancakes

It doesn’t get any easier than this! And because the fruit is naturally sweetened, you could get away with serving these without any syrup at all. Perhaps use a whole grain batter to keep it on the healthier side, too. I would add a little cinnamon to the batter for the apple rings (it would almost be like apple pie!). I think the kids will especially enjoy this easy recipe. Go check out the full instructions for these creative pancakes over at Betty Crocker.

2. PB & Banana Quesadillas

Quesadillas for breakfast! That’s what I’m talking about. Gooey bananas and peanut butter with a crispy outer shell is almost guaranteed to be heavenly. Go check out the instructions for these over at Budget Bytes— if you like step-by-step photo instructions like me, you will love this site! She even breaks down the cost per serving for all of her recipes.

3. Quiche Toast Cups

These little breakfast cups are perfect for serving a crowd. They also don’t require any silverware (less clean up!). You could also omit or add different ingredients to each cup for a nice variety. I love how the flattened toast in the muffin tins turned out to look like little flowers. Hop on over to to Recipe Tin Eats for the recipe and instructions. She has a ton of other cool recipes like this, too!

4. Baked Egg Boats

Sourdough filled with eggs and cheese? Yes, please! Although these tasty egg boats look super fancy, the prep time is only about 5 minutes. I love how you could just cut them in half and eat it like a sandwich. You could mix in all of your favorite ingredients into the egg mixture, too, but I especially love the sausage recipe these were made with! Go check out the recipe and instructions for these over at Dinner or Dessert.

5. Ham & Egg Cups

This makes eating eggs and ham so much more fun and exciting! You can easily serve these up for a crowd with any of the side items you would like (fruit, pancakes, has browns, etc.), or just eat them alone as a unique low carb alternative to an otherwise boring breakfast. Go check out the recipe and instructions for these over at Menu Musings. All of her recipes include a ton of step-by-step photos (making it easy for the cooking challenged like myself).

7. Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

The marriage of a cinnamon roll and pancake– you know you want to make these! The cinnamon filling is a yummy mixture of butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon that is carefully squeezed onto a pancake, and then topped with a CREAM CHEESE GLAZE! Breakfast has never been better.

8. Breakfast Pizza

Because everyone loves pizza, why not make it for breakfast!? Just replace the flour crust with hash browns, and then top it with your favorite breakfast ingredients (eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, peppers, cheese, etc.). This one is definitely a splurge, but worth every savory bite. Check out the recipe and instructions for this clever breakfast pizza over at The Gunny Sack!

Cookies without the guilt!

10. Cheesy Baked Egg Toast

Crispy cheese is my FAVORITE! You can always count on me to scrape all of the cheese that’s fallen onto a pan and crisped to perfection, and eat it like it’s the most heavenly thing in the world. Because it is! You should have seen my eyes bulge when I saw this cheesy baked egg recipe from the Crazy Adventures in Parenting blog. If you don’t like your eggs that runny, you could spread the egg yolk around a bit so that it cooks a little more evenly, maybe? I do this with my fried eggs.

11. Baked Oatmeal Muffins

The easiest (and tastiest) way to make breakfast on-the-go! I love the idea of whipping these up on a Sunday to enjoy the rest of the busy work week when mornings are too hectic to dedicate time for a healthy meal. The best thing about these oatmeal muffins is that you can really personalize them to your taste (I’m thinking cinnamon, raisins and chopped apples!).

Awesome. Go check out the recipe an instructions for this over at The Girl Who Ate Everything!
