Super Simple Sunday Breakfasts To Enjoy As A Family

It’s Saturday evening. You have one more day of relaxation as Monday creeps closer. To send the weekend off with a bang, you should pull out all the stops for Sunday morning breakfast. 

Since you have extra time on Sunday mornings, you can create a dish that you wouldn’t normally be able to make before everyone runs off to school or work. Whether you’re searching for something sweet or savory, these recipes will leave your family with a new favorite Sunday breakfast.

10 Easy Recipes for Sunday Morning

Sunday mornings are typically a slower time when the whole family can get together and enjoy a meal. It usually calls for something special, as Sunday only comes around once a week, so you should treat your family to something that will delight them.

1. Breakfast Hash

This breakfast hash is a hearty meal that can be made with your leftovers from the week prior. If you have potatoes left, like the author, you can incorporate them into this dish seamlessly. It’s a vegetarian dish, but if you’re a meat-eater, you won’t even notice the absence of meat.

2. Strawberry Chia Seed Hand Pies

These handheld pies are great for breakfast and fantastic for kids who love to hold onto their food. By using store-bought pie crust, you can create four servings for your family — but why would you stop there? 

You can easily cut fun shapes into the crust that allow your kids to see the fruit spread or jam through the peekaboo window. This breakfast dish is full of fiber and antioxidants, so you can eat something cute and nourishing.

3. Banana Nut Pancakes

There’s no flour in this recipe, but there are only four ingredients to keep track of! The pancakes, which aren’t fluffy because of the lack of flour, are made of bananas, but egg and oats also go into the mixture. You can add chopped pecans to the top of these pancakes for a lovely complementary flavor.

4. Baked Oatmeal

This dish is excellent if you’re preparing breakfast for a group. Healthy fats and protein abound in the almonds, hemp seeds, and coconut flakes you can choose to add to the oats. 

The inclusion of coconut oil makes this dish a healthier breakfast meal than one that uses regular oil, and the blueberries add a pinch of sweetness. Just be prepared: This dish takes around an hour to bake!

5. Gluten-Free Breakfast Bake

This recipe supports the inclusion of gluten-free foods, specifically including gluten-free sausage and baking mixes. You can also expect to taste peppers, onions, cheese, and potatoes. This recipe is great for everyone, whether they eat gluten or not, and you’ll enjoy it so much you’ll forget it was initially made for gluten-free folks.

6. Pecan and Peach Yogurt Muffins

If your family is typically the grab-and-go type, they could benefit from sitting down with these muffins. 

A new, unique take on your traditional blueberry or chocolate chip muffin, these pecan and peach yogurt muffins can be made in under 30 minutes and are much healthier than their alternatives. The best part is that they have all the sweetness of their less-healthy counterparts.

7. Bacon Lattice Breakfast Pie

Any kind of bacon pie will be a hit with your kids. The lattice, made entirely from bacon, covers the mixture inside the dish. In a casserole dish lined with a puff pastry, you can combine eggs, cheese, and some seasoning. It’s best served when the bacon looks crispy but the eggs are still a bit soft. That way, the eggs can continue cooking while your family digs in.

8. Zucchini Tartine

It might take you a bit of time to make the zucchini puree from scratch, but this dish is worth it. Made with tender zucchini and oil, you can place the puree on a hardened piece of sourdough toast. 

You can boast that this healthy recipe, which sports zucchini, apple, and celery, is so tasty that it seems unreal. Finish off the dish with a generous helping of homemade mustard dressing to make it taste that much better.

9. Berry Breakfast Casserole

You’ll have to start on this recipe the night before, but it’ll be so worth it when all you have to do is pop it in the oven on Sunday morning. Set some time aside on Saturday evening to work on perfecting this recipe, and you’ll have a great time watching your family’s reactions when they take a bite the next day. 

This casserole is made of only five ingredients and is healthy. It’s a great idea to use a harder bread for the dish, and an even better thought is to let it sit out to harden the day before. This recipe is also customizable — you can use any berries you want!

10. Hashbrown Nests

Perfect for snacking size, these nests made out of hashbrowns can be made effortlessly in a muffin tin. Portobello mushrooms are essential to this recipe, as they add the most flavor and health benefits. Eggs, Swiss cheese, and bacon also make their home in these tiny, cup-sized nests. This dish is low in calories, and you can easily swap in some substitutions to fit any sort of limited diet.

Serve Your Family a Slice of Love

You put love into every dish you make. The end of the weekend calls for something special for your family to celebrate going into the week. Treating your family to a special breakfast can help them feel important and nourished, and it creates a lasting tradition to eat at least one meal together over the weekend. With these recipes, your family will wish that Sundays would come sooner!
