55 Fast & Energizing Breakfast Recipes To Fuel Your Day (1)

At night, we're often dreaming of, well, breakfast. A good breakfast makes us practically jump out of bed in anticipation. And if it happens to be healthy as well? And quick?! We're there. So why not start your morning off on the right foot with one of these 55 healthy breakfast recipes, like vegan pancakes, keto breakfast casserole, gluten-free crustless quiche, and more. Whether you're on a special diet or just simply trying to add more protein or variety to your routine, we've rounded up all the best quick, healthy breakfast ideas we're sure you'll start to dream about, too.

Eggs are one of the easiest ways to eat healthy in the a.m., and we love them so much, we figured out a whopping 60 different ways to make eggs, so that basically means you've got 60 new reasons to never have a boring breakfast ever again. Try our green shakshuka, migas, and cowboy breakfast bowls, and you'll never go back to plain scrambled eggs (though we love those too, not gonna lie).

Looking to sneak more fruits or vegetables into your morning meal? It doesn't get any easier than making a big batch of vegetable hash. While potatoes are classic in our Instant Pot hash, we love switching things up with all of our favorite veg, like we did with our Brussels sprouts hash and sheet pan sweet potato hash. And if you, like us, go a bit overboard with your farmers' market trips, we've got tons of ways to sneak fruit in your morning routine, like our blueberry smoothies, strawberry muffins, and easy overnight oats. Eating healthy first thing has never tasted so good, TBH. 😋

Originating in North Africa and now strongly associated with Israeli cuisine, shakshuka typically involves a sauce of tomatoes and red peppers. Our take on this simmered skillet breakfast spins the color wheel, thanks to roasted tomatillos and Swiss chard, and takes flavor inspiration from Mexico.

Air Fryer Cinnamon Crunch Granola

55 Fast & Energizing Breakfast Recipes To Fuel Your Day (10)

What can't the air fryer do? For starters, it can turn out fluffy oat pancakes and make a crispy chicken sandwich with a fraction of the oil you'd normally use. Perhaps best of all, it makes crunchiest of crunchy granola.

Breakfast Tostadas

Savory Oatmeal

We know and love classic oatmeal, laced with brown sugar and cinnamon and other sweet toppings, but your next bowl should be this savory version. It’s creamier, bolder in flavor, and a runny egg makes everything better. It’s the breakfast version of risotto and that can never be a bad idea.
