Collection
Lighter breakfast recipes with whole grains, fruit and protein, from banana oat blender muffins to a spinach and feta frittata. All with weights, volumes and make-ahead notes.
“Healthy” means different things to different people, and we’re not dietitians. These are simply the breakfasts we turn to when we want more whole grains, fruit and protein and less added sugar, without giving up the pleasure of baking.
Each one keeps well, so you can bake once and eat well all week. As always, every recipe has gram weights, and the nutrition estimates are listed on each recipe card.

3. 1 hr
Whole-grain oats, fresh apples and only a third of a cup of maple syrup for the whole pan. Assemble it the night before and bake while the coffee brews.
4. 50 mins
Made with oil, so they're dairy-free, with a vegetable you can actually taste. Swap in white whole wheat flour for half the flour to add fiber.
