Two shots of chilled espresso are used to make the creamy base of this colorful breakfast bowl, so you can eat and drink your morning cup of joe at the same time! It’s also a great choice if you’re looking to get some extra fruits into your diet since you'll use pureeed bananas and dates to make it too.

This hearty chia seed pudding makes the perfect grab-and-go breakfast. Simply assemble it the night before and top it with your favorite fruit, nuts or seeds in the morning. It’s that easy and delicious! It also makes a great snack or after dinner treat if you have leftovers.

Loaded with filling fiber from fruits, nuts and barley flakes, this warm breakfast porridge can be customized just as easily as any omelet. Our test kitchen chefs topped theirs with fresh raspberries, crunchy Granny Smith apple slices and nutty pistachios, but we wouldn’t be mad if a handful (or two) of mini dark or white chocolate chips made an appearance.

A healthy combination of grapeseed oil and apricot nectar add just the right amount of sweetness to these low-fat muffins from Food Network Magazine. They’re the perfect choice for anyone with a sweet tooth or someone who just needs a break from cereal.

Though absolutely lovely as a standalone treat, this warm breakfast bake can easily be dressed up with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a shot of ice cold milk for a more filling option. Trust us — anyone who loves fruit cobbler won’t know the difference between this and the classic dessert.
