What do your little ones eat for breakfast?

I usually do yogurt with chia seeds sprinkled on top and mixed in with some fruit on the side. Maybe smoothies would be good too?

My son has a peanut butter & jam wrap for breakfast and then a bowl of multi grain cheerios after (no milk). I’ve tried to change it up but this is what he likes and what he wants. He even asks for it for lunch sometimes 🙈

Would you want to add peanut butter or another nut butter to the pancakes for extra protein? What about cottage cheese? (also a good source of protein if he doesn’t like eggs or breakfast meats) My little guy is 11 months and really likes chicken 🤷🏻‍♀️ not a traditional breakfast food but it makes him happy! He also likes chicken sausages ( cut into quarters)

How about some grits you can dress them up anyway you want

Avocado toast

We do a lot of beans for breakfast or potatoes (diced with onion, bell peppers, bacon)

We do smoothies or açaí bowls sometimes

I use to add chia seeds to yogurts, smoothies, you said you don't eat bread? Is that health reasons or distaste.....I make flatbreads with lentils, soak lentils blend season to taste dollop and spread in hot oiled pan (I boil the lentils for a few minutes before blending) fritters flour egg mixed into fillings of your choice. Hash browns, plantains, I've used sweet potato slices as a bread substitute,

My kid loves overnight Oats, carrot muffins ( also made from oats), breakfast cookies(oats), I make her “egg bites” which are basically just eggs, cheese, veggies all baked in tiny muffin trays. I freeze all this

For sides I do fruit, cottage cheese, avocado, yogurt etc

Oat bars! I make recipes with peanut butter, rolled oats, banana mashed, with different fruits mixed in like blueberries (but if they prefer something like raspberries can be mashed up to be a nice consistency) depending on what fruit sometimes I add a bit of cinnamon in it. No added sugar or anything :) baked at 400 for 15-20 minutes usually depending on size of dish

Baked oats, oats egg and yoghurt it's basically like a cake (not sure if you son is allergic to egg or just doesn't like it) overnight oats,

Homemade muffins? I make banana cinnamon with chia seeds or I make bacon & cheesey ones for breakfast too. Muffins are great as you can find so many recipes with little or no sugar etc Pancake muffins? Just bake them in muffin trays in the oven and they come out like cakes.

Try this: Mix cottage cheese in with egg and mozzarella and some spinach, pour this mixture over a tortilla placed down on a cast iron pan. Bake for 20 min on 400. My Lo doesn’t eat eggs either but she gobbles this up

My 9 month old will be having raspberry pancake bites with dairy free yogurt this morning 🙂

Wow lots of great suggestions here, thanks everyone! @Rachael what exactly is breakfast meats? Also it’s really hard to find chicken sausages here that are not full of crap and the one I did find had Parmesan in it which he is allergic to🤦🏽‍♀️ @Mar we don’t really eat grits in the U.K. however cornmeal porridge is almost like grits, except smooth not coarse. @Anita I stopped eating bread when I became pregnant and that stuck however when my son started eating bread I figured I’d give it a go, it lasted a few months but I just can’t do it anymore and my son has decided he don’t like bread anymore so it works out even better (I can stop buying fresh bread now). However we do eat other types of bread like you mentioned flatbreads and stuff. Usually plantains or sweet potatoes I’d do for lunch but would be fine for breakfast if I could think of what to put with it.

@Shay I use plantain in pancakes to be honest and I add bananas to cornmeal. Or boil the plaintain smash and brown in a pan.

@Melanie he doesn’t eat cottage cheese, he has sensory issues so if something has a weird texture you can guarantee he won’t eat it and when I tried him with cottage cheese before he looked absolutely disgusted and I couldn’t get him to put it in his mouth! I think that’s the same issue with eggs. I tried a recipe online for ABC muffins and they turned out terribly wrong! After baking them extra time they were still wet in the middle and then I saw a few people comment the same thing on that recipe so I need some recipes that actually work because the trial and error in some of these recipes are so wasteful! @Elizabeth do you put only rolled oats in the oat bars? I was planning to make some today actually but most people say they need a combination of quick and rolled oats or they end up dry and crumbly? Have you found this in your ones?

@Emilie usually when I do banana muffins or similar it’s what I’d take for a snack when he does his activities further from home. I usually freeze them and take one out before we leave and it’s defrosted by the time he eats it however I have tried a few recipes and had them fail so I don’t like experimenting with some peoples recipes because it seems they only work for the original poster but if you have any that you know work I’d love to try it! @Jadie he won’t eat eggs no matter how I dress them up unless it’s as part of an ingredient for a bigger item, like in cakes or used to stick a coating etc. even as soon as he smells it he will refuse! He won’t eat French bread, omelette with a load of stuff in.. nothing. @Rebecca are pancake bites just smaller pancakes?

@Anita I didn’t know you could do that and the worst part is that yesterday I had an overly ripe plantain I ended up putting with mackerel and my son didn’t like it as I have never given him one that ripe before, if I had known I could have used it in pancakes instead🤦🏽‍♀️

We do avocado toast, blueberries and yogurt or egg. I mix up the berries, my little one can't get enough of them

@Shay I just put the one kind of oats my little guy loves them I wouldn’t say they’re too dry

@Shay it was the Chinese restaurant that put me on, I told her when I tried to make the banana fritters it was never as sweet as hers, she said it was actually plantain. Though I say boil it for pancakes first else it has like a starchy taste rather than the natural sweetness!

@Shay I’m in the USA so what I meant by breakfast meats is what Americans traditionally eat for breakfast, which I know isn’t quite the same as English breakfast! Sausage links or patties, bacon, and ham usually come to mind for breakfast rather than chicken like I said in my post. 😊
