These rich and indulgent Nutella Baked Oats taste much naughtier than they actually are and they’re just a perfect chocolately breakfast treat.

3. Cheesy Bacon Flatbreads.
Deliciously savoury and perfect for a quick breakfast or even for lunch, these flatbreads could even work as part of a picnic. Super simple and versatile, these are low calorie and don’t scrimp on flavour. The recipe uses low fat cheddar but a more mature or different type of cheese would work too.
4. Breakfast Quiche.
This might be a ‘breakfast’ quiche but there would be nothing stopping you from having this with a big leafy salad for your lunch or with some light chips for dinner. There’s mushrooms and tomatoes in the recipe but you could use up any extra veg that needs using up in the bottom of your fridge!

The ingredients here include ham but if you’re a vegetarian, you could replace with extra veggies.
10. Strawberry and Vanilla Waffles.
A wonderfully sweet breakfast recipe – these waffles are crispy on the outside but fluffy and light on the inside. The good news is that you don’t even need a fancy waffle machine, just an inexpensive silicon mould.
