11 Family Breakfasts With Get Up And Go

My biggest tip ever is give kids choice.
How to make the best pancakes ever (in my opinion)

A relaxing weekend morning is a fabulous time to kick back and enjoy time together so I’ve pulled together 11 of our favourites that we rotate throughout the year.
My 11 and 6-year-old love help to make these pancakes. They are great at measuring, mixing, and flipping. My husband just has to put the dollops of mix in the pan. If my 6-year-old did this we’d have pancakes the size of dinner plates.
Our pancake recipe and method:-
260ml milk
6 Tablespoons melted butter or oil
2 beaten eggs
270g Self Raising Flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
2 teaspoons of caster sugar(optional)
- In a jug measure the milk, the melted butter and 2 beaten eggs. Whisk this together.
- In a bowl, weigh out the self-raising flour and the baking powder. And 2 tablespoons of caster sugar if using, I don’t normally bother as our toppings are sweet enough.
- Slowly pour the wet jug into the flour mix whilst whisking together until its smooth thick and bubbles appear on the surface.
- Heat a flat pan till it’s really hot. If it’s properly hot you wont need any oil in a non stick pan but if your unsure dab a little oil or butter onto some kitchen paper, lightly spread it across the hot pan very carefully.
- Dollop 3 of 4 spots of the mix into the hot pan and smooth out with the back of a ladle. They take a couple of minutes each side. Just wait till bubbles appear all over before turning them over.
- We also use this mix with our waffle iron. Cooks Professional – Electric Belgian Waffle Maker Machine 180° Rotating – 920 Watts. (Cream)
It’s a brilliant machine, easy to use and easy to clean. Just use half a ladle of mix per each waffle square and wait till cooked. You may have to add a little extra milk to the recipe above. I also sometimes sneak in some cinnamon as I love the stuff.

Granola
Granola is a wonderfully moreish.. It’ll go with yoghurt, or have it with milk for a normal cereal. You can snack on it through the day too. So easy to make and so versatile. This recipe is the one we love but you can add pretty much anything.

The egg in the toast is by far my favorite but a close second is the french toast! This are awesome inspiring ideas, my mouth is watering! What a great Mom you are and providing such fun, delicious, and healthy foods for your kids. Well Done.
Good Morning Cheryl. Thank you so much! I do try and keep things interesting!
OH. My. GOSH! Thank you so much for this post. My littles (3 and 5) are home from school this week and getting them both to eat the same thing has been a nightmare. Choice is good. Thanks for helping provide good choices for them.
Your very welcome Kelanna. These breakfasts are all loved by my kids so im sure youll find something. X
I love youf recipe for pancakes. I love pancakes too.
Elizabeth. Pancakes are the best breakfast and go with anything dont they?! This recipe is so light and fluffy. Yum enjoy
Great recipes! I don’t cook a lot but I guess I could start!
Hi Samantha. Give it a go! These recipes are so easy my kids can make most of them on their own. Give them a go. The taste far out weighs the skills required. If you invest in a waffle maker then the machine does all the cooking and the light comes on when the waffles are done so you done even need to stand over it.ive put a link to my waffle machine in the poat if you need a recommendation. Your tummy will thank you ha
Thank you for this post! Finding good breakfast ideas that aren’t the same thing for my son is always hard to find!

These look so yummy! I’m so not a breakfast momma, but my husband can put together a mean early meal.
Hi Tiffany. These breakfasts will give him something new to try.
I love the egg in toast! And you can never go wrong with pancakes or waffles! I never thought of doing a banana bread as a breakfast, but I’ll definitely have to try that.
Hi Melody. Its delicious give it a go! X
It was so surreal to scroll through your post because it looks as if our families have the same favorites list, exactly! Berries/granola/plain Greek yogurt is what I eat most mornings, or else cooked oatmeal (that is the only one I did NOT see here!) – and my girls love pancakes or waffles or French toast on the weekends! 🙂
Hi Flossie. Im glad you aleady enjoy all my suggestions. Really spooky that our loves are the same. Ive not been spying honest ha. Hope little one is better soon to enjoy some yummy breakfasts this weekend x

Yum!! Great breakfast idea!! I am a blessed mom and my kids eat what I put in front of them, If I was to give the choices I would never leave my kitchen lol. Their favorite is a dutch baby pancake with mixed fruit toppings.
Hi Leah. Sounds amazing! Hopefully your kids are always such good eaters. X
Do not read this while you are hungry! I wanted them all. Egg and toast is my favorite though 😋
Thanks Tiffany. It’s a great excuse for breakfast 3 times a day. X
I love all of those choices! The egg in toast seems like such a healthy and fun way to serve breakfast. I’m going to try that one tomorrow morning. I get into a rut when it comes to cooking, so I’m always looking for unique and fun ways to serve food to my kids. So many great ones here.
Hey Ashley. Thanks im glad you like.makes you hungry doesnt it. X
