Lunch Bunch Linkup: Breakfast Recipes

Our lunch group had a hard time getting together again this month due to school field trips, dentist appointments and various other things going on at the same time.  So this month I am going to give you some of my favorite breakfast recipes.  I hope you will post your favorite breakfast recipes and link them up to us so that we can all drool ~ er, I mean, be inspired with something new!  ;)

This recipe is a favorite of mine when the strawberries are in season. They're not growing in my neck of the woods yet, but they were on sale at Walmart for $1.88 today! A month ago they were like $4 or $5 a basket! So yeah, I had to snap them up! 

Strawberry Banana Breakfast Bowl

Slice into your bowl as many bananas and strawberries as you like.  Then drizzle with your favorite sweetener.  I used a little drizzle of agave because it is low glycemic, but you could sprinkle sugar, honey or maple syrup on it if you wanted.  You could probably add some crushed walnuts or your favorite nut of choice if you wanted!  Enjoy!

This next recipe is a family favorite at our house.  It is the first breakfast my mother-in-law ever made me when I went home to meet my husbands family.  It is the one breakfast my daughter always requests whenever we visit Grandma.  And a fall favorite when the apples are in season.

I need to play around with this one a little bit though ~ I haven't figured out a totally healthified version yet.  I'd like to make it more whole grain and figure out how to make the apple syrup without as much sugar and other stuff.  There is definitely room for improvement, but it is pretty darn tasty the way it is.

Apple Pancakes with Apple Syrup

For the pancakes:

3 cups flour

5 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

2 Tbsp sugar

2 eggs

2 cups milk

1/3 cup olive oil

2 small apples, peeled and diced

For the syrup:

1 cup sugar

1/4 tsp cinnamon

2 Tbsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp cornstarch

2 cups apple juice

1/4 cup butter

For the pancakes:  Mix together sugar, eggs, milk and oil.  Add flour, baking powder and salt.  Fry on a griddle.

For the syrup:  Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Cook until thick.  Serve over pancakes.

So there you go!  Now over to you!  Show us or tell us about your favorite breakfast meal!
