Easy Sweet Breakfast Recipes - 60+ To Try (2024)

This easy sweet breakfast recipes article was originally posted on the 10th of August 2021.

I love easy sweet breakfast recipes. When I thought about them, at least a hundred ideas came to mind first. However, as I was already lying in bed I decided not to write them down because I was too lazy to reach out for paper or my phone.

Therefore, I only managed to get half of these easy sweet breakfast recipes. I am someone that could eat from when she gets up until she goes to bed. Which I don’t do, but the craving is there. And sweets are something that tends to be involved in my cravings, mostly when I was younger. Now I am more for the savoury or a mix of them.

When we first got into lockdown, something we never skipped was having breakfast together. If you know me personally, you know that I prefer five minutes longer in bed than waking up earlier and do things with calm. That’s just how I am. So breakfast, if I had it, was on the go or just when I got to work.

But this time at home, brought some new positive habits, and having breakfast is one of them! But, as with everything, it can get boring if you always eat the same things. I do get into phases where I get obsessed with some foods and then end up not having them for ages. I am sure I am not the only one.

This relates to breakfast as well! Like pancakes, waffles, pastries, Nutella french toast and muffins. I mean the list would be too long! Anyway, having had this long time to find easy sweet breakfast recipes to try, I decided to make a list.
