The start of the school year is an adjustment for everyone, kids and parents alike. Settling into a new schedule takes time, and that early morning alarm is nobody’s favorite sound. But a breakfast worth waking up for can make all the difference. Here are a few tasty back to school recipes the whole family will love.
5 Breakfast Ideas for Your Family
1. Peaches n’ Cream Muffins – These muffins are packed with peaches and will keep you and your family full until lunch.
2. Pop Up Pancakes – You can never go wrong with these pancakes. Top them with syrup, powdered sugar, and berries of your choice. This is a family favorite in our home.
3. Baked Oatmeal – This baked oatmeal is healthy, filling, and will make your home smell amazing when you make it.
4. Berry Banana Smoothie – Hide some veggies in this berry banana smoothie to give your kids something super healthy to start their school day.
5. Homemade Granola with Coconut, Dried Cranberries, and Almonds – Is there anything better than homemade granola? Use it on top of yogurt for a complete meal. Or just have it on its own. This also makes a great afternoon snack for kids just getting home from school.
Make eating breakfast a priority this school year. Plan for a little extra time to sit down together and enjoy the most important meal of the day. Take the time to talk about what is planned for the day or anything your kids want to talk about. If all you have time for is cold cereal, that is ok, but sometimes it is nice to enjoy a special breakfast treat together.

LOVE these ideas! My mom always made a special breakfast for our first day back to school as well. But none of it ever looked this good (shhh…don’t tell my mom)!
Great ideas. We start school next week and I’ll have to check out these recipes!
We always make pancakes for the first day of school. But those muffins looks yummy too.
