Need breakfast ideas for LO

DD is overall a good eater.Since birth she has had a strong appetite and eats her fruits and veggies really well. But she is picky about breakfast foods.  And she complains all morning about how hungry she is.  I've tried waffles, eggs, cereal bars, cheerios, yogurt (which she WILL eat but ONLY if it comes from a pouch thing, and those are full of sugar so I don't let her have more than one per meal), and occasionally sausage. Often on weekends I'll make pancakes or french toast and she'll eat those, but I don't have time to make those during the week.  Help!  Pls share your easy breakfast ideas!

    Earth's Best makes French toast sticks that you put in the toaster. They even have Elmo on the box :-). They have them at Super Target and Whole Foods, but not at my grocery. My DD loves breakfast. Have you tried other cereals -- in a bowl with milk? My DD loves Kashi Go Lean Crisp. She also loves: Greek yogurt mixed with honey, applesauce mixed with baby cereal, oatmeal, waffles (plain or with peanut butter), toast (with butter or peanut butter), PB&J, sometimes even a turkey sandwich if that's what she tells me she wants :-)

    DS likes a variety of breakfast foods.  Besides your list, he likes toast or english muffins with peanut butter.  He really likes strawberry cream cheese on an english muffin or bagel.  He also likes granola bars.  I know they're not the healthiest choice, but they're easy when DS #2 gets fussy and DS #1 is really hungry.

    DD#1 loves grilled cheese, so I now do a a grilled cheese and scrambled egg sandwich and put spinach and cheese in them.

    I do smoothies and freeze them.

    My twins love the vegetarian sausage links and patties- the texture is a little more palatable to them.

    I do the mini waffles and pancakes, but rather than syrup I mash up bananas, milk, and throw some chocolate boost in.

    And they are loving eggs scrambled with salsa. 

    THis morning I switched things up and served their eggs in cups with a fork and I think with the novelty I could have given them catfood and they'd have eaten it- they were so excited.

    Have you tried non breakfast foods instead? I know someone who hates breakfast and doesn't make any breakfast foods in the morning for her kids. They eat brunch type things or leftovers from the night before.

    You could always freeze some of your weekend pancakes and reheat them during the week.

     

    My son loves this oatmeal recipe:

     https://www.libertyhillfarm.com/pages/meals.htm

    (You can always make it the night before and reheat it in the morning).

    You could also do a quiche recipe.  We do the scrambled eggs, but sometimes I will add black beans, rice, and cheese to it along w/some salsa.

    For special treats:

    Cinnamon Swirl: https://www.breadworld.com/Recipe.aspx?id=617

    or Pumpkin Streusel: https://www.breadworld.com/Recipe.aspx?id=693

    (I haven't made either one of these in awhile but I do remember cutting back on the sugar and going easy on the icing).

    Muffins were always a big hit for breakfast.  (I say were b/c we are now gluten free and I haven't experimented w/any GF muffin recipes yet).

    And lastly, you could always make banana bread, apple bread, etc.  My son lovees to help me make these breads and then we eat them for breakfast.

    Great suggestions so far.  If you are making french toast, etc on the weekend- why not make a bigger batch and freeze it for during the week?

    Breakfast is DD's best meal of the day, she will eat a huge breakfast and then not eat much the rest of the day.  Her favorites are pancakes (you can freeze them, or just mix up a little batter and refrigerate it...it's good in the fridge for 2-3 days), Earth's Best french toast sticks (with Elmo on the box) and Earth's Best waffles (with Cookie Monster on the box...she calls these her "Cookie Monster cookies").  Also toast with a little butter and cinnamon, muffins, any kind of cereal with milk.  Whatever she has, we typically add some fruit on the side.
