Here are 10 must-try sweet breakfast recipes that are as delightful to make as they are to eat.

Chocolate-Baked Oats

Oats for breakfast is my favorite genre of breakfast recipes. The easiest and tastiest way to bring this about is to bake oats with cocoa powder and chocolate chips. This double chocolate trouble makes these oats a lot more fun and kid-friendly. Full Recipe: Chocolate-Baked Oats

Strawberry Ricotta Toast

Fruity, creamy, and crispy – sounds like the perfect breakfast recipe to start your day! All you need are some strawberries, creamy ricotta, and some crisp toast. A hearty spread of ricotta over crisp toast, topped with sweet, roasted strawberries, makes a perfect sweet, cheesy, and indulgent breakfast. Full Recipe: Strawberry Ricotta Toast

Blueberry Oat Pancakes

A healthy alternative to classic pancakes is to switch regular flour for oat flour. Oatflour pancakes are just as fluffy, but on a much healthier side. Add a little extra flavor and texture by tossing some frozen blueberries into the pancake batter. Full Recipe: Blueberry Oat Pancakes

Cinnamon Roll Muffins

Sugar, spice, and everything nice – a perfect description for these cinnamon roll muffins! Not only are they moist and tender, but these muffins also have a perfect flavor profile from cinnamon, brown sugar, and sour cream. Full Recipe: Cinnamon Roll Muffins

Banana Nut Oatmeal

Want a quick, low-effort, healthy breakfast? Oatmeal to the rescue! To make it more fun and flavorful, add banana slices – caramelized with maple syrup and pecans – to the oatmeal cooked in milk and maple syrup. With so many flavors and textures, this banana nut oatmeal might be my new favorite addition to healthy breakfast recipes. Full Recipe: Banana Nut Oatmeal

Rhubarb Coffee Cake

Rhubarb coffee cakes are perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch, when you don’t have to rush through breakfast. This cake uses fresh rhubarb and a sweet and crumbly streusel topping that never fails to steal the show. Full Recipe: Rhubarb Coffee Cake

Apple Cinnamon Sour Cream Muffins

Fresh apple cubes make such a juicy addition to the classic muffins – a perfect way to use fresh, seasonal apples. To add to their perfection, a simple, sweet, and crunchy brown sugar-cinnamon topping is a must. Full Recipe: Apple Cinnamon Sour Cream Muffins

Nutella French Toast

French toast works best when you want a healthy, hearty breakfast to prepare for a busy day. Make this extra sweet by spreading Nutella on the toast before rolling it up and dunking it into an egg-milk-vanilla custard. The best part? You can prepare this the night before and leave the baking part for the morning. Full Recipe: Nutella French Toast

Banana Pecan Muffins

Sweet and crunchy – banana pecans are my favorite combination for breakfast recipes. This is where these nutty banana pecan muffins come in. They are so incredibly easy to make, too. All you have to do is sprinkle some crunchy pecans over simple banana muffins before you pop them into the oven. Full Recipe: Banana Pecan Muffins

Gingerbread Granola

All you need are pantry-stable ingredients, and this breakfast dish would come about in no time. Crystallized ginger is the star ingredient here, and it gives the classic gingerbread flavor to this granola when combined with molasses and maple syrup. Full Recipe: Gingerbread Granola
