Greek Yoghurt and Granola Parfait

For my final healthy breakfast in the series is this lovely fresh parfait, it's perfect for those warm summer mornings. Today I will be sharing with you my simple cinnamon pecan granola recipe and how I pair it with greek yoghurt and berries to make this healthy and nutritious breakfast.

Granola is simply toasted oats which you can add you choice of nuts, dried fruit, spices or even chocolate to. This is much cheaper than buying in the supermarket and this way means you will know exactly what is going in to your granola.

Tortilla Egg Cups

For those who prefer a savoury breakfast then these tortilla egg cups are perfect, great for on the go and very easy to make. They are so versitile, you can fill the cups with pretty much anything.   Perhaps pizza cups with tomato puree, cheese and your favourite pizza topping or fajita cups with salsa, sour cream and chicken.

Cinnamon Oat Smoothie

Next in my series of healthy recipes comes this nutritious thick and creamy breakfast smoothie, packed with flavour and fibre keeping you fuller for longer. An easy grab and go morning pick me up.

Prior to making this smoothie you need to make sure you have one frozen ripe banana, peeled and diced into small discs. Bananas don't take long to freeze but I would recommend freezing them overnight. I always have a couple ready as they are a great natural ice cube and really thicken up any smoothie or shake, giving it a lovely creamy texture.

Healthy Banana Oat Pancakes

To start off my healthy recipe series it's got to be Banana Oat Pancakes. I have been absolutely loving these over the past couple of weeks, they are high in fibre and protein and totally guilt free! Perfect for weekend breakfasts or why not even make up the batter the night before and whip up a batch before work. With only three ingredients these couldn't be any easier and you know how I like a simple and easy recipe.

Here are some less healthy pancakes recipes on my blog if your not on a health kick and fancy a naughty treat: Cinnamon Swirl and Bacon Strips

Series of Healthy Recipes

 If you read My Healthy Week post you will know that I am on a bit of a health kick.

I used to think that healthy food had to be boring and bland and you couldn't have those yummy sweet treats that I like so much. How wrong was I?!
My health kick has been going very well so I thought it would be great to share some of my favourite breakfast and pudding recipes over the next couple of weeks. So until the end of the month I will be posting twice a week - Monday and Thursday.

My Healthy Week

So yet again I attempt a health kick but this time I thought documenting it would be a good way to keep me on track.  To help, I put together a weekly meal planner, this also made the weekly food shop soo much easier.

Nutella French Toast

I'm a huge fan of decadent weekend breakfasts and this weekend was no exception, there is just something naughty about chocolate in the morning. This Nutella French Toast would also be a great Mother's Day breakfast for a Mum with a sweet tooth.

For some more of my favourite weekend breakfasts check out my pancakes and porridges posts.

Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes

Ok. So I couldn't resist, not just one pancake recipe but two!! If you haven't already check out last weeks post for my Bacon Pancake Strips but only after you've read this one of course!!

If you like cinnamon buns then you are going to love these Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes. Fluffy pancakes with a cinnamon twist.

Bacon Pancake Strips

Seeing as I'll be in Jamaica for Pancake Day . . . ahhhh so so so excited. I decided to have an early Pancake Day because of course I couldn't miss out! This year I wanted to try something different to the usual crêpe like pancakes I make every year. I have seen these Bacon Pancake Strips or Dippers all over Pinterest and I thought they were a good way to combine my love of bacon and maple syrup!!

Apple Crumble Porridge

I have recently got back into porridge,  its great on those winter mornings ... and yes I know it's nearly summer but this week has been cold and miserable. So for a little more indulgent weekend porridge try this Apple Crumble Porridge recipe. Inspired by my love of apple crumble and missglamorazzi's Apple Crisp Oatmeal!!
