My go-to brunch menu item! I simply can’t get enough of chicken & waffles. While this is definitely not a ‘low cal’ meal, it has considerably less saturated fat as I air-fry the chicken rather than deep fry it. I did use chicken thighs here as they are juicier, but to make this leaner, just swap it for chicken breasts. Just be sure to flatten the thicker part slightly so that you have a uniform thickness and it cooks at the same time.

Tacos have proven that they not only are a great dinner option and snack but are also an amazing breakfast & brunch meal too. These have a lovely smoky flavour from the chorizo and are nice and filling from the creamy scrambled egg. I love serving these with some hot sauce and fresh herbs, but guacamole or avocado is also an amazing addition.

Another breakfast of champions recipe if you are craving something sweet for breakfast but don’t want to blow healthy eating out the window. These oats are really filling and roughly 360 calories for the entire thing. This will surely beat any chocolate fix and keep you satiated due to the nut butter & greek yoghurt.

These are the sweet version of my fluffy American pancake recipe. I made these for Pancake Tuesday and OMG the are to die for. I may have been in a sugar coma for days, but was it worth it? Absolutely, yes. The toppings for this was just super simple melted kinder chocolate and chopped up chocolate with some token berries for good measure. Let me know if you make these and don’t forget to tag me if you do.

I am more of a crepe gal generally, but there is something about fluffy American pancakes with salty bacon and maples syrup that is a combination that is hard to pass up. This recipe is fool proof, it’s my go-to thick pancake recipe. Streaky bacon and maple syrup are my favourite toppings but you can of course make these sweeter by adding more sugary toppings.

This is such a nice alternative porridge during the winter months. It’s sweet, filling and warm, packed with antioxidants from the blueberries and protein from the greek yoghurt and egg. This is a great dish for only 357 calories per serving, that will keep you sustained right through until lunch. I love almond and blueberry together and this would be lovely with some chopped almonds throughout or scattered on top too, for some extra texture.

Granola is something we always have in our house. While I love the shop bought varieties they are loaded with added sugar and calories. I decided to try and make my own, and although I still added sugars to it, I know exactly what has gone into it. This is a great breakfast to have with a little greek yoghurt too or on top of a smoothie bowl.

I’m usually more of a savoury brunch gal, but sometimes I just crave something nice and sweet on the weekends. My go-to is French Toast as we always have some bread in the house and frozen berries in the freezer. Sometimes I’ll make this savoury by leaving out the berries & yoghurt and serving this with crispy bacon instead. A lovely weekend treat and super easy to make!

The ultimate Italian bread. Focaccia is a family favourite in our house and we love to have it as a snack throughout the day.
