Easter Breakfast Round-Up: 9 Kid-Friendly Recipes
If there is one thing I remember about Easter – other than the egg hunts – it would have to be breakfast. We would go to our grandparents house after they came home from church, and we'd all have a huge brunch together.
What about you? What are some of your favorite memories from Easter morning as a child?
With the warming weather and the arrival of spring, Easter morning is the perfect opportunity to connect as a family, create new traditions, and instill some life-long memories for your littles.
Here are some of our favorite Sparkle Easter breakfast recipes.
Easy Easter Breakfast Ideas
It doesn’t have to be time consuming and overly involved to create meaningful family traditions and tender moments! Here are some of our favorite Easter breakfast ideas that are more simple. These can either be quickly prepped the night before or require less time and effort overall (so you can focus on spending more time together!). These recipes are also ideal for little ones’ hands!
Breakfast Burrito Bar
This is the ultimate before-or-after egg hunt breakfast! Have each person make their own, and everyone is happy. With lots of protein options to choose from, breakfast burritos are great for picky eaters. By making them “build-your-own” everyone can leave out the parts they don’t like. Scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon are just the beginning! Try incorporating some spring-time staples and veggies as well! And, with very little actual cooking involved, the responsible grown-ups can easily prep these the night before and while the coffee is still brewing.
Maple and Browned Butter Baked Oatmeal
In tribute to the beautiful—and quite useful—Maple tree, this recipe below is sweetened with maple syrup. Which is also appropriate to help herald the arrival of spring, new life, and growth! This easter breakfast recipe is easy to prep the night before and bake off in the morning. It's also a great way to warm you up if you are still getting cold weather.
Mother's Day Egg Scramble
We couldn’t leave out scrambled eggs! This may be called mother's day scramble, but it's a great recipe to prepare with the kids. Depending on the age and kitchen skills of your child, it may require a little help from another adult for cooking and slicing, but, for the most part, the kiddos should be able to measure the ingredients, whisk the eggs, and chop the herbs (tip: use a clean pair of safety scissors instead of a knife). Try this out for a light and quick breakfast.
Gluten Free Easter Breakfast Ideas
Try one of these delicious recipes for gluten-free families- not only will these meet your dietary requirements, they are also delicious (and lovely)!
Smoothie Bowl
For those of you looking for a light and kid-friendly breakfast, you'll want to try this one. Try varying the topics – this is a great way to incorporate all kinds of fresh fruit! You can also use this as an opportunity to start the morning off slowly and with intention, mindfully creating and arranging beautiful bowls together!
Lemon Meringue Quinoa Granola
If you are a gluten-free family or have friends coming over who are gluten-free, this a super tasty option for breakfast!
Fun Twists on Traditional Easter Breakfast Ideas
Who doesn’t love a spread of traditional breakfast favorites? Breakfast dishes like pancakes, casseroles, and french toast have gained popularity for a reason (their deliciousness, of course!). We’ve gathered some of our favorite twists on traditional breakfast dishes to help you plan your own tasty Easter Breakfast tradition.
Peach Pecan Pancakes
For a nice twist on an old favorite try these peach pancakes! The extra thickness of these pancakes makes them perfectly suited to being stuffed with goodies- try varying what you include– this is a great way to incorporate all kinds of fresh fruit! Added bonus? These delicious pancakes are also easy to make for a crowd.
Tiny Fig Tarts
These tiny tarts are a perfect addition to an Easter breakfast potluck or delicious Easter brunch. (Sparkle tip: start with a store bought puff pastry to cut down on prep time – and allow more time for making family memories!)
Orange Glazed Sweet Rolls
Talk about an upgrade from store-bought cinnamon rolls! These are warm and gooey and smell amazing. Just the thing to start off a wonderful day of thankfulness. Make extra because they will go fast! And these rolls are so worth it. They're so much lighter and fluffier than anything you'll find in a can. (Although you will have to find another substitute for that fun popping noise!) Start the dough for a batch today, and congratulate yourself on Easter morning as you're headed toward gooey sweet roll bliss.
French Toast
This is one of our favorite breakfasts! French Toast with berry compote is over-the-top delicious. This is definitely a slow food kind of morning but well worth the treat.
