10 Easy Breakfast Ideas for Toddlers

On the go? Need something quick before heading out for daycare drop-off on your way to work? Are you a stay-at-home parent (generally or working from home due to the pandemic)?

I'm always looking for relatively easy ways to provide my 2 year old with a variety of healthy meals. Who has the time or energy to cook every single morning? Saturdays have become my day for cooking breakfast in bulk. Many of these items can be frozen and taken out each day to be microwaved; way healthier than buying processed frozen foods from the grocery store, and they're cost efficient:

1. Blueberry Muffins

I use Bisquick, eggs, milk, sugar, and frozen blueberries. 

2. Smoothie

These are super easy to make with your choice of fresh or frozen fruit, and water. 

3. Fried Potatoes / Home Fries

Peel and cut up potatoes into cubes, season, and put them right into a freezer bag. Take a scoop out as needed and pop it into the air fryer and it's ready in minutes. 

4. Oatmeal

Easier to cook than ever, just put a scoop of oats into the bowl, add water, and put it in the microwave for 1 minute. I like to add raisins, honey, and cinnamon, or apple slices. 

5. Bacon

Bacon is so easy to cook in the air fryer. 

6. Egg Muffins

Put any combination of onions, peppers, ham, sausage or bacon, and cheese into the muffin tins and pour stir eggs into them. Once cooled after cooking them in the oven, put them into freezer bags to be stored until later use. 

7. Fruit

My son loves sliced up fruit so it's easy to give him sliced up bananas, apples, oranges, pineapple, etc.

8. Pancakes/Waffles/ French Toast Sticks

These are another item that I cook in bulk and store in the freezer. I cook French toast on the stove and then cut them up to make sticks that are more ideal for toddlers. 

10. Yogurt

Yogurt is another easy item for breakfast. I love adding fruit to it as well.
