What do you eat for a breakfast?

Sure thing:

Dry ingredients:
1.5 cups of oat flour
1.5 cups of oat bran
2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed
2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon (varies according to my mood)
1 tablespoon of ground ginger (varies according to my mood)
sometimes other spices, too
.5 teaspoon of baking powder.
.25 teaspoon or less of baking soda

Wet ingredients - if you dump these in a blender/Vitamix, it'll help - oats and flax are denser than regular flour, and also a lot thirstier:
3 whole eggs
2 small bananas (about 5 or 6 ounces worth)
.5 cups of milk
.25 cup of honey
.25 cups of olive oil.
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of orange extract
2 cups of water
(I mean, oats and flax are VERY thirsty ingredients!)

Extras:
.25 or .5 cups of, oh, say, sesame seeds, chocolate chips, chopped walnuts ... whatever you fancy.

Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Mix the dry ingredients together while the wet ingredients whip up in the blender. Let the blender work for you at least a minute, more won't hurt. You want a nice, slightly frothy, rich liquid.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and, with a wooden spoon or spatula, mix together gently - treat the mixture like a chiffon or angels food mix. Mix until everything is blended and "gloopy".
Either lightly spray or oil a muffin tin or use muffin liners (You can also make a loaf, of course, but I find muffins simpler). Distribute the batter. I use a half-cup measure. Half a cup is the equivalent to one serving.

Bake till a toothpick comes out clean. In my oven, that means around 20 - 25 minutes. Let cool for about 20 minutes. They store nicely in the fridge for over a week.

I'll post MFP's nutritional info on this recipe in a separate post, with attachment.

Leftover pizza, leftover spaghetti, leftover mac and cheese, leftover stir-fry, (really any leftovers). Oat bran. Breakfast sandwich - bacon and egg or cheese.

I do not eat in the mornings.
On rare occasions that I do anticipate having an early meal, I eat some thing that I prepared with dinner the night before.

This is what I had today, packed with protein and nutrients and absolutely delicious!!! I made it with mashed banana since I had no yogurt but I'll try it with yogurt next week.





Brownie Batter Overnight Protein Oatmeal

Coffee and a Quest bar. If I'm really trying to deficit and lose weight, I skip the Quest bar and add a little bit of protein powder to my coffee, enough to keep me a little fuller than just the regular coffee.

I really don't like messing around with food in the morning during the weekday and I'd much rather have dessert. I really can't have breakfast AND dessert.

I'm with you on having leftovers for breakfast. Today I scrambled an egg and mixed it in with leftover vegetable pad Thai. Because I'm a big eater in the mornings I also had blueberries mixed with Greek yogurt and a coffee with milk and sugar.

I do a kind of overnight oats, using steel cut oats mixed with a bunch of different grains and seeds (teff, bulgur, chia, hemp, quinoa, buckwheat groats among other things I can't remember off the top of my head) sweetened with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey and soaked in almond milk. When I dish some up in the morning I top it with some diced apple (leave the peel on) and slivered almonds. I serve this with a scrambled egg and about half a cup of orange juice, and prior to becoming pregnant I could eat this around 7 am and then go until lunch (my break happens sometime between 11 and noon) just fine.

I always have 3 slices of turkey bacon, cooked in the microwave, a cup of hot green tea and a pancake made from Met RX protein pancake mix, with Cary's sugar free syrup - 190 calories and it takes me about 4-5 minutes (tops) to make it.
