I'm addicted to Michelle's granola, original formula. You can order it directly from them if you can't get it in stores during covidtimes.
In really cold weather I make oatmeal with milk, a sprinkle of nutmeg, a little light brown or turbinado sugar, and sometimes a few raisins or dried cranberries. Not the healthiest, but it sure fills me up and it's only about a teaspoon of sugar for a serving. |
My HS classmate has a cooking website that includes some great ideas for breakfast -- she often includes tips on how to pare down the sweetness or otherwise make it a bit healthier.

Chia pudding made with coconut milk, topped with fruit and cinnamon |
Lots of homemade muffins are basically cake but you can make them healthier by using whole grain flour for at least part.
I also love the fluffy eggs waffles, Wegmans Cran-Orange bread (with sugar on top!) and cinn-raisin bread. |
Toast and jam or honey. Lots of fruit. |
Baked oatmeal.
Lots of different flavor combos. |
Thaw and drain a bag of frozen peach slices, spread them out in a buttered 8x8 pan. Mix together 2 cups of old fashioned oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, a teaspoon of cinnamon, a sprinkle of nutmeg, and a teaspoon of baking powder. Sprinkle the mixture over the peaches. Mix one egg with 2 cups of milk and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, pour over the oats and shake the pan a little until it settles. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. |
You guys, granola is not healthy.
OP, if you aren't hungry enough for something savory in the morning, then why not just skip breakfast and drink coffee? |
I do oatmeal with a spoon of PB, sliced banana, and a sprinkle of chocolate chips which get melty and it tastes amazing and satisfies the sweet tooth |
I think having a couple small pieces of good dark chocolate every day after breakfast is totally fine and healthy. |
This greatly depends on the granola. |
Dark chocolate espresso beans. Those count as breakfast. |
Thanks!! Especially appreciate the recipes and suggestions. I am totally fine with eating pie or whatever I feel like or skipping, but not leaving me feeling my best. |
OP here with a PSA: gluten free flax mini muffins in chocolate brownie are checking all the boxes. Available at Whole Foods. |
