55 Energizing Breakfast Recipes To Fuel Your Day
Way more delicious than that protein bar.
At night, we're often dreaming of, well, breakfast. A good breakfast makes us practically jump out of bed in anticipation. And if it happens to be healthy as well? And quick?! We're there. So why not start your morning off on the right foot with one of these 55 healthy breakfast recipes, like vegan pancakes, keto breakfast casserole, gluten-free crustless quiche, and more. Whether you're on a special diet or just simply trying to add more protein or variety to your routine, we've rounded up all the best quick, healthy breakfast ideas we're sure you'll start to dream about, too.
Eggs are one of the easiest ways to eat healthy in the a.m., and we love them so much, we figured out a whopping 60 different ways to make eggs, so that basically means you've got 60 new reasons to never have a boring breakfast ever again. Try our green shakshuka, migas, and cowboy breakfast bowls, and you'll never go back to plain scrambled eggs (though we love those too, not gonna lie).
Looking to sneak more fruits or vegetables into your morning meal? It doesn't get any easier than making a big batch of vegetable hash. While potatoes are classic in our Instant Pot hash, we love switching things up with all of our favorite veg, like we did with our Brussels sprouts hash and sheet pan sweet potato hash. And if you, like us, go a bit overboard with your farmers' market trips, we've got tons of ways to sneak fruit in your morning routine, like our blueberry smoothies, strawberry muffins, and easy overnight oats. Eating healthy first thing has never tasted so good, TBH. đ
Easy Overnight Oats
When busy mornings hit, nothing beats overnight oats. Theyâre an easy, no-cook version of the classic breakfast that only takes a few minutes to prepare. Prep them the night before, tuck them into your fridge to soak, and youâll have a chilled, creamy, on-the-go breakfast waiting for you in the morning.

Baked Eggs & Zoodle Bundles
These zucchini bundles are easy to make and quite satisfying. Topped with a dollop of pesto-yogurt and an egg, this vegetarian dish will satisfy anyone in the a.m.

Strawberries 'n' Cream Granola Bars
These strawberries 'n' cream granola bars are so much better than the store-bought kind. Packed with rolled oats, coconut flakes, pepitas, and freeze-dried strawberries for a hit of tart flavor, these are perfect for breakfast or an on-the-go snack.
Best-Ever Egg Muffins
Whether you eat these as is or wrapped in a toasted English muffin, you'll be so glad you made a big batch of these egg muffins.

Blueberry Smoothie
Craving a smoothie, but not a banana fan? This blueberry smoothie is just as creamy, but skips the tropical fruit in lieu of almond butter and oat milk.

Green Shakshuka
Originating in North Africa and now strongly associated with Israeli cuisine, shakshuka typically involves a sauce of tomatoes and red peppers. Our take on this simmered skillet breakfast spins the color wheel, thanks to roasted tomatillos and Swiss chard, and takes flavor inspiration from Mexico.

Cinnamon Roll Power Bites
These "power balls" are exactly what they sound like: perfect little bites of energy that will satisfy that sweet craving. Medjool dates are paired with warm cinnamon, almond butter, cashews, oats, vanilla, and a dash of salt to make these breakfast-worthy bites. All ingredients come together in just 10 minutes to form sweet, soft, chewy balls that are reminiscent of cinnamon rolls.

Air Fryer Cinnamon Crunch Granola
What can't the air fryer do? For starters, it can turn out fluffy oat pancakes and make a crispy chicken sandwich with a fraction of the oil you'd normally use. Perhaps best of all, it makes crunchiest of crunchy granola.
Breakfast Tostadas
The toppings on these tostadas are our ideal toppings, but you can change them up however youâd like. Cook an over-easy egg instead or top with some sour cream. The best part is that these can be different every time you make them and still be so very good.

Cowboy Breakfast Bowls
Loaded with crispy potatoes, scrambled eggs, creamy avocado and crispy bacon, this bowl is a crowd-pleaser. For a customizable meal, prepare all your ingredients and any extrasâsalsa or black beans would be a great additionâand set them out so everyone can create their bowl as they please!

Strawberry Muffins
Blueberry muffins may get the majority of the spotlight when it comes to classic muffins, but when we have fresh, seasonal strawberries, these muffins are difficult to beat. Packed with jammy summer fruit and bright lemon zest, these pillow, tender muffins are perfect whether youâre serving them for Mother's Day brunch (with mimosas, please!), a tea party, or just as a grab-and-go breakfast.
Get the Strawberry Muffins recipe.
Savory Oatmeal
We know and love classic oatmeal, laced with brown sugar and cinnamon and other sweet toppings, but your next bowl should be this savory version. Itâs creamier, bolder in flavor, and a runny egg makes everything better. Itâs the breakfast version of risotto and that can never be a bad idea.
Get the Savory Oatmeal recipe.
Air Fryer Sweet Potato Hash
If you're looking for the crispiest sweet potato hash without the requisite oil to get there in a stovetop pan, then look no further: the air fryer is here to save the day. (Or at least breakfast.) Alongside the cubes of tender sweet potato, you'll mix in red bell pepper to draw savory notes out from each bite, while a shower of dill and sliced scallions add fresh flavor.

Yogurt Toast
This TikTok number has taken breakfast tables by storm, and for good reason. It involves topping bread with a shortcut egg-yogurt âcustardâ to create a slightly sweet, fancy-ish dessert with barely any effort. The choices of toppings are ripe for your imagination. (FYI, Team Delish favors a bit of chocolate in the custard.)
Get the Yogurt Toast recipe.
Loaded Cauliflower Breakfast Bake
Swapping riced cauliflower in place of the traditional hash browns lightens up this savory, endlessly customizable bake.
Air Fryer Banana Blueberry Muffins
Packed with blueberries, bananas, and banana chips (HELLO!), consider these your new go-to blueberry muffin. Change them up depending on which berries you have in the freezerâcranberries are so fun for the holidays, while chopped apple is a crowdpleaser in the fall.
Chocolate Keto Protein Shake
Who needs protein powder anyway? Packed with almond milk, almond butter, chia seeds, and hemp seeds, this shake will energize you and keep you full all morning. If you're not really a chocolate person and prefer fruit smoothies, our coconut berry keto smoothie is for you.
Get the Chocolate Keto Protein Shake recipe.
Brussels Sprouts Hash
We already loved all the things we could do with Brussels sprouts, but then we fried them in bacon fat and then topped them with crispy bacon and over-easy eggs. We might never be the same?!
Get the Brussels Sprouts Hash recipe.
Baked Feta Eggs
Remember that baked feta pasta that took the world by storm? Well, now you can have it for breakfast! There's no pasta involved, but white beans add a hearty creaminess, and a side of crusty bread or pita is highly encouraged.
Get the Baked Feta Eggs recipe.
Coconut Flour Pancakes
These pancakes are super soft and tender, with just a hint of sweetness, thanks to our new baking secret weapon: coconut flour.
