SIMPLE BREAKFAST RECIPES: FLUFFY WAFFLES, PERFECT PANCAKES, BEST COFFEE CAKE, & MORE

We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but sometimes we stay in bed too long and skip it all together.  I've got dozens of the best breakfast recipes that are definitely worth waking up for!

At hour house, on weekdays we usually just eat toast, oatmeal, granola, or cereal with fruit or a smoothie.

But weekends are the perfect time to whip up a homemade coffee cake, oatmeal waffles, or some easy pancakes. It's a perfect way to bring the family together, and start the day off right with smiling faces and full tummies!

In colder months, I love heating up the house by baking coffee cake, oven pancakes, quiche, or breakfast casserole. When it's hot outside, we fire up the griddle and make pancakes or waffles. So yummy!

BEST PANCAKES

My mom taught me how to make homemade pancakes when I was about 8 years old, and I've been making pancakes from scratch since then. In fact, I've never even bought a pancake mix!

Whether you are looking for a basic pancake recipe, or you want blueberry pancakes, banana pancakes, swedish pancakes, or even zucchini pancakes, I've got you covered!

BREAKFAST WAFFLES

Making waffles from scratch is so easy, and the taste can't be beat! One of best thing about waffles is that they have built in pockets to hold my amazing Buttermilk Syrup. Give it a try, it is epic!

We actually have a tradition at my house of having waffles with vanilla ice cream and berries on Christmas morning. So waffles are a pretty big deal around here! I've got recipes for easy waffles, crispy waffles, peanut butter waffles, and even cinnamon roll waffles. Delish!

BEST COFFEE CAKE RECIPES

If you love sweet breakfast recipes, then you definitely want to learn how to make coffee cake! It's another skill I learned when I was young, and I made cinnamon streusel coffee cake for years.

Now I've branched out to try new coffee cake flavors. I've got recipes for blueberry coffee cake, pumpkin coffee cake, chocolate chip coffee cake, and more! Sour cream banana coffee cake is a reader favorite, and the perfect way to use overripe bananas.

Looking for handheld breakfast recipes? Don't miss my easy scones and BREAKFAST MUFFINS.
