I’m not a morning person, never have been, never will be.  So rallying three kids for school in the morning and getting something decent into their stomachs can be a challenge.  

They’re tired of cereal. They’ve had their fill of frozen breakfast patties. They won’t eat doctored-up yogurt.

Here are some easy ideas that might help get your family out of a breakfast rut and give you a healthy breakfast alternative.  Because I don’t function well in the morning, I prepare the baked items the night before or during the weekend. They’re quick and easy to reheat and can last a few days!

### BRAIN-BOOSTING BAKED OATMEAL

20 min prep time.    30 min bake time.    Serves 10.

Preheat oven to 375. Butter or spray a 9x13 baking dish.  Spread 1 cup coconut flakes in dish & bake until golden (about 3 min).  Remove from oven. Combine in a large bowl:

- 1 cup toasted coconut flakes (the ones you just toasted)
- 2 sweet-tart apples, cut into ½” pieces
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 TBSP orange zest (1 orange)
- ½ cup light brown sugar

Whisk in a separate bowl:

- 3 TBSP unsalted butter, melted
- (1) 13.5oz can light coconut milk
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 ¼ cups water

Spread mixture of dry ingredients into above baking dish.  Pour wet ingredients on top, making sure everything is moist.

Bake until edges are bubbling & center is set, 30-35 min.  Cool completely before storing in refrigerator.

To serve, spoon into serving bowls, add a splash of milk or cream, & reheat in microwave.

### COCOA PEANUT BUTTER FREEZE

5 min prep time.  4 servings

In a blender, combine the following ingredients.  Blend well.

- 2 bananas (broken into pieces)
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 2 cups milk (or milk substitute)
- ½-2/3 cup peanut butter
- 3-4 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder
- Sweeten with honey (optional)

 

### BERRY POWER BLEND

5 min prep time.  Makes (4) 12oz servings.

In a 60oz (2L) blender, combine the following ingredients in the order listed.  Blend well.

- 1 banana
- 1 cored, sliced apple
- 1 cup plain yogurt (or vanilla yogurt for a sweeter drink)
- 4-5 cups power greens (any combination of spinach, kale, chard, collard)
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 cups frozen blueberries

Pour into individual cups with lids and refrigerate.  They are ready to grab and go (shake before drinking)!

### BAKED EGG CUPS

15 min prep time.     20 min bake time.    Makes 12 egg cups.

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease a 12ct muffin tin (or line with paper liners).

Combine:

- ½ pound browned pork sausage
- 12 beaten eggs
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Fill muffin cups 1/3 full of egg mixture. Bake 20-25 min, or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean.

Just a little planning and some easy preparation can make sure your family starts their day off right!
