50 Energizing Breakfast Recipes To Fuel Your Day
Way more delicious than that protein bar.
A good breakfast can make you practically jump out of bed in anticipation. And if it's healthy as well? We're there. So why not start your morning off on the right foot with all our favorite 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.
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 add more vegetables to 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. Low-carb MVP cauliflower mimics our favorite hash browns almost too well in our loaded cauliflower breakfast bake; you might not even be able to tell the difference!
Ham & Cheese Egg Cups
Want to sub in another kind of meat? Sliced deli turkey works in the recipe, as does salami.

Easy Applesauce Muffins
Applesauce is the secret to these super tender and moist muffins, which you don’t even need a mixer to make! Buckwheat flour is our secret ingredient; it adds nuttiness and depth that pairs perfectly with apples and cinnamon. Sprinkling the insides of the cups (and the tops!) with cinnamon sugar gives the muffins extra sweetness and a light crispy crunch you'll love.

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.

Yogurt Toast
This TikTok number has taken breakfast tables by storm, and for good reason. It involves topping bread with a shortcut egg-yogurt “custard” 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.)

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.

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.

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 extras—salsa or black beans would be a great addition—and set them out so everyone can create their bowl as they please!
Get the Cowboy Breakfast Bowls recipe.
Healthy Pumpkin Muffins
Honey, Greek yogurt, and whole-wheat flour come together to make these "healthier", but they sure don't taste like it! We love them fresh from the oven, or days later toasted in a skillet with butter.

Best-Ever Migas
This traditional Mexican breakfast is so much greater than the sum of its parts. Fried tortillas meet scrambled eggs, creating that magical crispy-gone-soggy texture that's irresistibly satisfying.

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.

Easy Frittata
There is no limit to what you can add to a frittata. It's a versatile dish that can handle most things you throw at it, and our recipe has all the tips and tricks to getting a fluffy-centered, crispy-edged frittata every time.

Blended Baked Oats
The true genius behind this method is the blending of the oats to create a powder that resembles flour. This allows the baked result to feel more cake than breakfast, while still providing all the benefits of having a bowl of oats in the morning.
Get the Blended Baked Oats recipe.
Loaded Cauliflower Breakfast Bake
Swapping riced cauliflower in place of the traditional hash browns lightens up this savory, endlessly customizable bake.

Instant Pot Hash
Veggies, potatoes, and protein are the keys to a filling breakfast.

Keto Double Chocolate Muffins
These decadent keto muffins live right at the intersection of muffins and cupcakes. You'll absolutely be wanting another for a mid-morning snack.
Get the Keto Double Chocolate Muffins recipe.
Crustless Quiche
This crustless quiche forgoes the pastry shell, and as a result the egg itself creates a satisfying crust on the edges. Tip: While we won't say no to practically any cheese, the ones that are great for quiches are cheddar, Swiss, goat cheese, Parm, and even brie!
Get the Crustless Quiche recipe.
Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats
We <3 steel cut oats, but we don't like standing over the stove stirring them all morning. Let your Instant Pot do all the work, and you will be rewarded with creamy and pleasantly chewy oats.
Get the Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats recipe.
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.
Get the Green Shakshuka recipe.
Keto Blueberry Muffins
Protein, fruit, and sugar-free? We'll take these toasted with butter, please.
Get the Keto Blueberry Muffins recipe.
Bunless Bacon, Egg, and Cheese
True genius move: Using the egg for the bun on this classic breakfast sandwich. We loaded ours up with bacon, cheddar, and avocado, but go for some of your favorite fillings! Sausage and Gruyère would be killer too.
