What’s YOUR favorite healthy breakfast recipe?

As the school year approaches, I’m sure you’re beginning to think about those rushed, early mornings before school. I know I am, and not in an ‘excited’ way! One of the things that make the before school rush so stressful (or take so much time) is breakfast, so we try to stock up on a bunch of easy breakfast recipes before the kids go back to class to help our mornings go more smoothly. These Easy Frittata Cups are one that’s not only simple to make, but is a huge hit with the kids (and adults)!

You can switch up the ingredients – like less spinach or more ham – based on your family’s preferences. My kiddos like less red onion, while hubby prefers more. You can even make some changes, such as adding in peas, if that’s what you’d like best.

Makes 8 Frittata Cups

Ingredients

• 6 Eggs
• 2 tablespoon of Milk (optional)
• Salt and Pepper
• ¼ cup of chopped Red Bell Pepper (1/2 of a medium sized red bell pepper)
• ¼ cup of chopped baby Spinach
• ¼ cup of chopped Red Onion (or scallions)
• ¼ cup of diced Ham
• ¼ cup of shredded Cheese

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with silicone liners or grease it generously, set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk (optional), salt and pepper till frothy and well-blended.
3. Add the chopped red bell pepper, spinach, onion and diced ham and mix it well. Pour evenly into the prepared muffin cups.
4. Top each muffin cup with a half a tablespoon of shredded cheese.
5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes till the frittata cups is set and the top is a gorgeous golden color.

Notes

1.  Addition of milk is optional, but it imparts a delicious creaminess to the frittata cups.
2. Because eggs tends to cling to the slides to the pan, it is best recommended to use a silicone liner or a silicone muffin cups.
3. If you are using a regular muffin tin, be sure to grease it generously. Also once the frittata cups are baked, wait for them to cool completely, before trying to scoop it out.

I often mention how crazy weekday mornings can be, and I’m sure most – if not all – of you completely relate. Rushing to work or school, not only the kids to get ready but yourself (at least most days, if we’re lucky), it can be a mad dash. The last thing you want to worry about is breakfast, so it’s nice to have some easy make-ahead breakfast ideas you can rely on – like these Peanut Butter & Banana Overnight Oats!

Super tasty, and a healthier breakfast recipe you can just whip up the night before, then it’s a quick serve in the morning between the rush getting dressed and reminding the kids a dozen times to brush their teeth. Or is that just my kids?

This particular recipe SERVES 4, so adjust as necessary to fit your own family size. The toppings can be customized to fit YOUR tastes – for example, I love adding chocolate shavings into mine. Maybe you’re more of a raisin topping type of person. Either way, make it fit your taste preferences to start your day off right!

Ingredients

• 1 cup of Old Fashioned Oats
• 2 large Bananas
• 1 cup of Milk
• 4 tablespoon of Creamy Peanut Butter
• 8 tablespoon of Maple Syrup or Honey
• ¼ cup of chopped Nuts (Walnuts, Almonds, and Hazelnuts) or Seeds (Sunflower, Pumpkin, Flax or Chia seeds) of choice
• A sprinkle of shaved Chocolate (optional)

Directions

1. Divide ¼ cup of oats into 4 pint size mason jars or medium sized bowls.
2. Add ¼ cup of milk to each jar or bowl.
3. Spoon a tablespoon of peanut butter into each jar or bowl.
4. Top with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup into each jar or bowl.
5. Give everything a good stir. Cover and refrigerate the 4 jars or bowls for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
6. The oats would have soaked in all the liquid. Add a tablespoon of chopped nuts or seed of choice.
7. Add banana slices (half a banana for every jar or bowl) and some chocolate shavings (optional)
8. Enjoy a chilled, delicious and hearty breakfast.

Notes:

1. Instead of regular milk, almond or coconut milk can be used.
2. You can add extra fixings like raisins, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries.
3. For a decadent treat, top with whipped cream.
