I live for breakfast.
I go to bed every night perusing Instagram and Bloglovin' in hopes of finding the perfect breakfast for the next day. Not weird at all. So I thought I'd do something a little diff today. Is it just me, or have there been a ridic amount of foodgasmic breakfast recipes posted lately around the blogosphere? I literally sit on Twitter and drool. Fluffy pancakes, crisp waffles, eggy bakes....gahhhhh I can't even handle it!!!
1. I've made these whole-wheat pancakes so many times. It's my go-to recipe (I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk) because they're so easy to make and super fluffy. I usually add blueberries, but chocolate chips paired with pure maple syrup and a pat of buttah is heaven on earth, too. I made these last week along with a homemade blueberry sauce and it knocked my sauce off. First, I brought a big handful of frozen blueberries and a bit of water to a boil. Then I let it simmer and added about a teaspoon of chia seeds and a bit of cornstarch. Pour it a splash of pure maple syrup and then let it simmer a bit more till it's thickened to your liking. Heaven, no??
2. These coconut raspberry waffles with coconut whipped cream...I mean are these even real?? So much goodness on one plate. You know my obsession with coconut. If you haven't tried coconut "whipped cream," you REALLY need to. It's life-changing.
3. I had to put one of my own recipes on this list, right? This tomato, basil and kale crustless quiche couldn't be easier. Plus, it's been pinned over 2K times so you know it has to be kind of good. It's a great way to sneak in the queen of greens, all hidden in eggy goodness. This is awesome for a crowd, too. And hey, a little cheese on top probs wouldn't kill anyone.
4. This piña colada breakfast shake is so fab because it combines hearty oats, pineapple and yummy coconut all into one delicious smoothie. I've also tried her Mexican chocolate breakfast shake and it's definitely a winner. It actually keeps me full, which is no small feat.
5. I've been drooling over these banana bread almond flour pancakes for weeks now. Pancake perfection. Almond meal and nanners make them super moist, plus they're gluten-free heyyyyyyyy. You should really consider making a huge batch of pancakes and freezing the leftovers. Pancakes for breakfast = best thing ever.
6. I could drink this iced mocha green monster smoothie for days. I love love love that it's sweetened with dates. Sometimes I want a slightly sweet iced coffee without a bazillion grams of sugar in it (that's you, Starbucks). Yesterday I got an iced coffee from Cup O' Joe and literally couldn't sleep all night...so drink at your own risk.
7. How dreamy are these vegan carrot coconut pancakes? Am I talking too much about coconut in one post? Sorry. Light and fluffy little cakes topped off with extra coconut and pure maple syrup....die die die.
8. Say this five times fast: crunchy quinoa baked oatmeal with caramelized strawberries and toasted coconut. Oops...I guess coconut happened again. I mean you really can't go wrong with caramelized strawberries and toasted coconut.
9. This girl wrote a whole book about pancakes, so you know they're good. Coffee pancakes are like the best of both worlds. I would prob try to do half whole-wheat flour with these cuz I'm annoying like that.
10. I've saved the best for last. Grill your sandwich is a WAFFLE MAKER. How genius is that idea? Stuff it with almond butter, jelly, coconut, bananas, honey, strawberries or whatever for the ultimate grilled breakfast sandwich. Crispy waffley perfection.
Oh and if you're not feeling any of these, berry crisp for breakfast is totally acceptable, too. See you all Tuesday for a delish recipe!

Good gawsh...I could have some of those banana bread almond pancakes now...maybe a coffee pancake too...ooh... and a vegan carrot coconut one too....wash them all down with a pina colada breakfast shake - yum!
Thanks for all these great links - now I am gonna go and wipe the drool off my face π
Alexis says
Agreed. I definitely would love to eat all of these yummy breakfast all at once π
Lenny Gale says
Which of these is the quickest to make? Lately, I've been combining oatmeal and egg whites for a quick-hit breakfast on-the-go.
While not the quickest, I'm pretty proud of my recently posted .
Alexis says
I would say one of the smoothies is quickest. The pancakes take a while, but then you get to freeze the leftovers and have breakfast in a snap for the rest of the week!
Lenny Gale says
Oops, I obviously don't know HTML very well.
Wanted to share my awesome Quinoa Kugel Muffins. https://lifeisnoyoke.com/quinoa-kugel-muffins/
Alexis says
Mmmmmm those quinoa kugel muffins look fabulous! So creative. I love anything in muffin form, especially when it involves the word kugel!
Lenny Gale says
Yeah, needed to figure out how to recreate kugel. Used to be my favorite but can't handle the dairy anymore.
I put the same ingredients in a cookie sheet like normal kugel. But muffin style was much better for bringing to work. Plus, they photographed incredibly.
Alexis says
Muffin style is way better! So portable and much more easy to photograph π
Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies says
Thank you for the shout out! π I'm doing a breakfast post tomorrow, but I totally get into ruts with breakfast--I will find something I like and I make it over and over and over because I'm too groggy in the morning for creativity!
Alexis says
You're very welcome! Love your peach breakfast post, especially the idea of slathering whole-grain toast with almond butter, sliced peaches, honey and flax! Genius.
Kim @ Hungry Healthy Girl says
I live for breakfast too.... best meal of the day, in my opinion! Love these ideas and can't wait to try a few!
Alexis says
Definitely the best meal of the day, no question~
Sarah @ Making Thyme for Health says
I'm a fiend for breakfast too! I don't peruse Instagram every night or anything though. π
Everything looks so delicious, especially your quiche! I'd even eat it for dinner.
Alexis says
I've eaten the quiche more than a few times for dinner. Eggs are so versatile! It would definitely pass for any meal.
Khushboo Thadani says
Oooh man- I wish i saw this post earlier...I just finished breakfast! Ah well- there is always tomorrow! I have been eyeing Jenna's coffee pancakes and they sound (and look) rather fabulous!
Alexis says
Knowing your breakfast style, I'm sure whatever you made was more than fabulous π
Robyn @thereallife_RD says
breakfast gets me up in the morning and its what I think about during the last mile of every early morning run, love love love!
This sentence.
"I would prob try to do half whole-wheat flour with these cuz Iβm annoying like that."
I laughed out loud, still laughing. Because we are the same person.
Happy weekend!
Alexis says
Bahahaha knew you'd appreciate that! I wish we lived close by so we could cook for each other! We totally have the same taste in food.
Ashley @ Guard Your Heart says
Wow! So many good eats all in one place! Making me hungry! I can't wait to give a few of them a try, especially the vegan carrot coconut pancakes! Sounds delicious and nutritious too! Thanks for sharing!!
Alexis says
I still haven't actually tried those carrot pancakes but they just look so darn good that I had to put them on there! Let me know if you try π
Irina @ wandercrush says
Breakfast food is so good, even for dinner. Isn't it the best when you finally find a reliable healthy pancake recipe? It took me forever to get them perfectly fluffy. I love this roundup!
Alexis says
I loooooove breakfast for dinner! I crave pancakes like, all the time. Love when they're healthy, too!
Irina @ wandercrush says
I just put one up too! Great minds think alike.
Matt @ The Athlete's Plate says
Heck yes to those pancakes! I've made them before and they are so good.
Alexis says
Glad to know you're a fan!!
Angela @ Health's Angel says
This is such a great round-up. I could (and sometimes do) eat breakfast foods for every meal. I love your obsession with coconut because I am equally obsessed!
Alexis says
Love that you eat breakfast foods for every meal. I often do too!!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
You are right! That waffle sandwich looks pretty much amaaaazing!
Alexis says
My jaw dropped open when I saw it. Best idea ever!!
