Such thing as exciting Breakfast food?

Something I could make at home that wouldn't make me dread eating breakfast? Easy breakfasts that don't involve something too simple like toast and coffee, nor do I like eggs.

Any suggestions?

    Pancakes? You could pre-mix your batter and save it in the fridge?

    You don't have to eat breakfast if you don't want to; lots of people just aren't hungry in the mornings.

    That being said, I am not one of them.

    My breakfast staples are:
    • [Greek] yogurt with granola
    • bagel with cream cheese
    • cereal with milk
    • waffles (we make in bulk and freeze)

    I like to mix it up so that I don't get bored.

    Eat any food you like.
    I like eating dinner leftovers for breakfast sometimes. I love soup for breakfast.

    If you don't want to eat when you get up, don't! Don't restrict yourself to breakfast foods if you do eat... Eat what you like!

    Breakfast is my favorite meal!

    I don't really like eggs either, but I love omlettes! I make my omelettes using last night's leftovers (fish, meat, vegetables, whatever) and I always add spinach and salsa. I use one egg mixed with milk, which goes a long way.

    I love OatFit instant oatmeals. So many flavors like Apple Cinnamon, Cinnamon Roll, Maple and Brown Sugar make choosing fun.

    Fruit and yogurt is delicious, light, and easy. I love blueberries and raspberries.

    I always have decaf green tea with breakfast, plus flax milk.

    I freaking LOVE toasting a bagel in butter on the cast iron! Sounds unhealthy, but you really use half the butter (one pat takes care of both sides versus a pat per side out of the toaster, and a whole grain bagel gives you good carbs to fuel your morning! :D

    I had leftover meatloaf for breakfast the other morning. Not normally a breakfast eater though. I just eat what I like.

    I don't like breakfast type foods unless I'm eating them for dinner. Usually I eat some sort of quesadilla (my quesadillas maker is the most used gadget in the kitchen) when I do eat in the morning.

    What about a green smoothie? You could put a scoop of protein powder in it to make it balanced.

    1 serving of plain oatmeal
    1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
    Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Ginger

    Tastes like rice pudding. Make a bunch and put it in some individual sized containers for the week.

    What about breakfast muffins? There are loads of recipes about. (Made with things like oats and fruit) Or breakfast egg muffins - sort of like mini crustless quiches.

    I love watching Youtube on my laptop. I will Youtube search- breakfast ideas. Or, healthy breakfast ideas. You'll be amazed at how many quick videos will pop up with tons of ideas. Give that a try.

    Perfectly fine to not have breakfast right away. Many people function well without food, even when doing AM workout. I work out on an empty stomach but then I'm starving, sooooo...
    I make chia yogurt the night before, scoop it out and add a tablespoon or more and mix, nice with barriers.
    Or, I'll do a veggie scramble with 1 egg, I know you said no eggs, but you could throw in some shredded potato instead to make it more breakfast ish. Probably only need 50 to 75 calories of red or russet to make it taste good.

    Break free of the mentality that a. you HAVE to eat in the morning and b. if you do like eating in the morning, that is HAS to be a 'breakfast' type food.

    Meal timing is a preference thing and nothing more. If you do like eating in the morning then sure, go for it. But you can eat whatever you want, as long as it fits into your calorie goals. Back when I ate in the morning (now I start eating at noon every day), I'd frequently have leftovers from supper the night before, or I'd make a can of soup, have a sandwich etc etc. There's nothing magical about having a bowl of cereal or a bagel in the morning :p

    this morning for breakfast i had some curried red lentils topped with a poached egg and some greek yogurt and cilantro with wilted greens and sliced tomatoes on the side.

    you can eat anything you want for breakfast...there's not any rules about it or anything like that.
