Gluten-Free Espresso Banana-Acai Bowl (pictured above)
Two shots of chilled espresso are used to make the creamy base of this colorful breakfast bowl, so you can eat and drink your morning cup of joe at the same time! It’s also a great choice if you’re looking to get some extra fruits into your diet since you'll use pureeed bananas and dates to make it too.

Switching up regular French toast has never been easier or more flavorful thanks to this zesty and fruity baked variety from Jeff Mauro. To make it, Jeff substitutes traditional bread slices with store-bought Hawaiian rolls for an effortless upgrade that you can put together a full night before.

Loaded with filling fiber from fruits, nuts and barley flakes, this warm breakfast porridge can be customized just as easily as any omelet. Our test kitchen chefs topped theirs with fresh raspberries, crunchy Granny Smith apple slices and nutty pistachios, but we wouldn’t be mad if a handful (or two) of mini dark or white chocolate chips made an appearance.
A healthy combination of grapeseed oil and apricot nectar add just the right amount of sweetness to these low-fat muffins from Food Network Magazine. They’re the perfect choice for anyone with a sweet tooth or someone who just needs a break from cereal.
Though absolutely lovely as a standalone treat, this warm breakfast bake can easily be dressed up with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a shot of ice cold milk for a more filling option. Trust us — anyone who loves fruit cobbler won’t know the difference between this and the classic dessert.
The secret ingredient behind this giant skillet hash brown is the subtly sweet pop it gets from grated parsnips. Minced parsley and chopped scallions also add some lovely color and crunch if you prefer breakfasts that have savory notes.
This breakfast staple from Food Network Magazine is made with chia seeds and mashed bananas, then finished off with berries and syrup to give you a delicious breakfast in just 30-minutes! It’s the perfect canvas for sneaking a little good-for-you-touch into your morning routine.

This hash brown breakfast casserole doesn’t need the help of eggs to be rich and creamy — you can thank the trio of yogurt, sour cream and cheese for that. All three ingredients add a lovely richness without being too over-the-top or caloric.
