Breakfast can help you feel your absolute best in the morning, whether you’re looking for a healthy a.m. meal that’ll keep you energized or a delicious dish that instantly puts you in a good mood (we’ll take Waffle Nachos, please). The best breakfast ideas from the pros in the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen are here to help you achieve that epic — and easy — first bite. Our rigorously tested recipes cover everything from quick, on-the-go breakfasts to blissful weekend brunches so you’re never without a solution to the most important meal of the day.
Looking for some kid-friendly options to feed the whole family? Everyone will love grab-and-go breakfast sandwiches, crowd-friendly egg tacos or make-ahead breakfast muffins (paired with a big mug of coffee for the adults, of course). We included plenty of classic ideas, like egg recipes, oatmeal, pancakes and more, plus light, healthy breakfasts like homemade granola with yogurt and berries. Power up with veggie- and protein-packed breakfasts such as egg bites or reach for recipes that take less than 15 minutes to make, like a refreshing smoothie. If a sweet breakfast is your speed, dive into a fluffy stack of homemade pancakes drizzled with maple syrup or a delicious chocolate bran muffin that secretly contains a dose of veggies (psst... it's zucchini!).
No matter what you crave in the morning, you'll find a recipe here that’ll start you off on the most delicious note possible.
