These Breakfast Dishes That Look Like Emojis Will Make Any Foodie On Instagram Smile

Pancakes are usually a weekend treat, but with a little prep work you can serve them whenever you want. Make up a batch of these little pancakes, freeze them, and pop them in the toaster oven when your kids want some. This recipe uses spelt flour, which has more protein than traditional wheat so it will keep everyone full longer. You can top them with the traditional syrup, or even make peanut butter and jelly pancake sandwiches.

Protein from the peanut butter, bananas, and grains from the tortilla wrap make this a balanced breakfast. But the best past is that it couldn't be simpler to put together (older kids could definitely make this themselves). It's also very portable, making it another fantastic option to eat on the way to school or work. If you have nut allergies in your home, switch out the peanut butter for cream cheese, which goes well with sliced strawberries.

Hardboiled eggs are a solid breakfast choice since they're packed with important nutrients like choline, iron and vitamin D. I would jump for joy if my kids ate them more regularly (my eldest asks for them once in a while). If you make the eggs the night before, these cute little boats are a cinch to put together and provide tons of protein thanks to the pairing of cheese and eggs.

Let's focus on the goodness in the quinoa and the oatmeal here.

If you have more than one child at home you can cook up one of these breakfast quesadillas in a few minutes and have everybody's meal ready at once (this makes four or five servings). Also, feel free to try a traditional cheese quesadilla in the mornings. Dinner for breakfast goes just as well as breakfast for dinner.

Pudding for breakfast is guaranteed to make your kids happy, while the fact that all you have to do is dish it out in the morning (it's made the night before and keeps for a week) will make you happy. It's almost like a bonus that this dish is super-healthy too, thanks to the bananas, peanut butter, omega-3-filled chia seeds and milk.

While this may not be the quickest breakfast idea, it comes together really easily if you prepare the filling the night before. Then it's just a question of slicing up the apples, assembling the sandwiches and cooking them for a few minutes. If you don't have a Panini press, you can also make these in a skillet, as you would with grilled cheese.
