Quick Breakfast Recipes

Ah dates. That flurry of excitement, of expectation. The buzz of the unknown, and the possibilities still to come. The…oh wait. Well, date smoothies are still exciting! Right? Delicious, certainly, when made this way. We’re in complete denial that summer is coming to an end, whatever the looming rain clouds …

High-protein ricotta pancakes. Even just writing that sentence makes me happy. We love pancakes, and when they’re simple, tasty and packed with protein we love them even more. Protein is important, and many people don’t get enough. If you’re not sure exactly how much protein you need then there’s a …

It’s going to be a good week. I knew it as soon as this recipe hit the top of my list. Noodle Omelette. Two of my favourite things right there – noodles and omelettes. Together. Awesome. The ultimate student food (or anyone on a budget, for that matter), it’s filling, …

I’ve been really looking forward to posting these vegan breakfast potatoes for a long time now. Once in a while recipes come along that I just can’t stop eating, and these breakfast potatoes are one such recipe. All of us on the blog absolutely loved the farmer’s breakfast, and I …

What’s the difference between a potato farl and potato bread? About as much as the difference between a cow from Northern Ireland, and one from the Republic. Potato Farls or Potato Bread? Potato farls (as they’re usually known in Northern Ireland) have long been used in the traditional Ulster fry …

The only thing worse than a bad breakfast is no breakfast. Luckily, that’s not going to be an issue for you. We’ve put together a lineup of some of the best vegan and vegetarian breakfast ideas we’ve ever seen. Each recipe is genuinely tasty – we like our food quick …

Some recipes are deceptively simple. Although I first learnt how to make scrambled eggs with cheese when I was about 13, I just really did not know how great they could and would become. Of course, you could just throw some eggs in a pan, launch some cheese on top, …

Yess!! It’s that time of year. I get to write about Christmas and pancakes – two of my favourite things. Don’t worry if you’re reading this and it’s not Christmas, gingerbread pancakes rock at any time of the year. You’ll just have to ignore reindeer references, jolly Christmas puns and …

If you can believe such a thing, this is our very first milkshake recipe. A chocolate cashew milkshake to be precise. It leaves us asking ourselves why we hadn’t made a milkshake before. Caro, Hauke’s flatmate, has already confirmed a fairly serious addiction to it. There’s something that’s supremely soothing …

Everybody has an opinion about pancakes, this Dutch apple pancake included. Some want them flat and thin like a crêpe, some want them big and fluffy like a cake. Some sweet, some savoury. There’s almost no pleasing everyone. That’s why we enlisted Jansen, friend and chef extraordinaire. He’s also Dutch, …

A classic recipe like a glorious Spanish omelette has to be treated with care. This is why we asked our friend Cristina Parés from Barcelona, Catalunya (still Spain) to help us out. And much to our liking she provided us with a quick and tasty version – without sacrificing traditional …

I love discovering new recipes! Especially if they’re linked to getting me fitter and stronger. And that’s exactly what these baked ricotta muffin power bombs do. They’re my new favourite and are now my post gym go-to snack. After a good workout it’s imperative to replenish our body’s natural stores, …

Yesss…it’s finally here! The banana mug cake! If people asked me to name two things I love in life then bananas and cakes would definitely make it onto that list. Mugs might not, although for the sake of this recipe I’ll also add mugs somewhere near the bottom, as I …

There are certain skills that need be learnt when improving in the kitchen, and mastering the art of a good omelette is one of them. It’s not uncommon for chefs to ask potential apprentices to show their omelette skills – and there’s a reason for that. Preparing an omelette shows …

Wanna know what they eat in hip Berlin and trendy Hamburg? Kaiserschmarrn. Yep, this is it. Sure, they eat other things from time to time too – but just say ‘Kaiserschmarrn’ to any German’s face and it’ll light up a treat. Unless you tell them you’re gonna cook up a …

This is the most fun I’ve had making breakfast for ages. I’d been wanting to try chickpea flour pancakes (sometimes known as besan or garbanzo flour too, or even besan chilla and cheela) and there are nearly as many different ways to make them as there are names! Actually, I’d …
