Babble is hosting a contest until Friday 1/27/12 they’re calling “My Family’s Favorite Breakfast Recipe Contest”
and my Baked Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts with Vanilla Peanut Butter Glaze are in the final 8.
If you could comment on that post saying something to the effect of your “favorite recipe was Averie’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts”, I’d love it.
If something else shown there is your favorite, vote for that.
The contest got me thinking about some other breakfast recipes:
Microwave Blueberry Banana Oat Cakes (Vegan, GF) Wrap in plastic and toss in your bag for a snack anytime.
Cinnamon Raisin Banana Oatmeal Muffins (Vegan, GF) One bowl, mix by hand with a mashed banana, bake and enjoy 15 minutes later.
Baked Vanilla Donuts with Vanilla Glaze – They taste very similar to Krispy Kreme Donuts, but they’re baked, not fried. Make as muffins if you don’t have a donut pan.
Microwave Chocolate Peanut Butter and Oat Snack Bars (Vegan, GF) Makes 3 small bars. Eat one now, share one with a friend or kiddo, and wrap one up and take with you for later.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Bars (Vegan, GF, No-Bake, Freezer-Friendly) Can be made with or without protein powder and the variety of add-in’s used are extremely flexible based on taste and what you have on hand.
Blueberry Banana Recovery Smoothie (Vegan, GF) Add whatever fruit you have on hand, canned or fresh; add protein powder (or not). Refreshing and filled with antioxidants and potassium.
Pineapple Banana & Coconut Cream Smoothie (Vegan, GF) Add fruit you have on hand, canned or fresh, coconut cream or another (nut) milk of your liking, protein powder or not. Sweet, refreshing, filling.
Strong coffee with cream and sugar. A breakfast of champions, indeed.
Baileys non-alcoholic creamer in coffee tastes almost identical to alcoholic Baileys in coffee, in case you don’t want to get sloshed at 7am with your java.
Also see the Breakfast Recipes page which includes breads, cakes, donuts, and muffin recipes.
And anything in the Dessert Recipes section will make a great breakfast, but of course.
Do you eat breakfast? Do you think it’s the most important meal of the day?
I am not usually all that hungry when I first wake up so breakfast is more of a whatever meal for me. Plus whether it’s yoga or a run, the thought of eating something and then trying to work out doesn’t sound appealing and doesn’t work for me having the food sloshing around. I eat after I’m done working out; that’s when I’m hungry and ready to dive in.
What’s your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?
I’m going out on a limb here and going to guess oatmeal, smoothies, cold cereal, toast or bagels, and coffee are going to top the list.
Thanks for the Chobani Yogurt Giveaway entries
Voted for you! :)
My breakfasts are all over the place. Cereal, smoothies, juices, granola, oatmeal, bites of last night’s dessert… Clearly I like sweet stuff in the a.m.!
Thanks for your support, always!

Congrats on being in the top eight! Your recipe looks delicious! My breakfasts are always so boring…I need to spice things up a little :-)
Your food is always so creative, I don’t know what you’re talking about, for real! :)
i eat right after i work out in the morning, or if i don’t work out.. i eat anyway haha love breakfast! if its a post workout breakfast than its usually a hugeee shake with frozen banana, protein, spinach, and chia + flax seed. if its a quiet morning or rest day its usually oatmeal with eggs, smoked salmon, pancakes.. and of course coffee :)
voted for you!!
Thanks for voting, Felicia :)
Congrats, how exciting! I just sent my vote in for ya! I have to wait until after I work out to have breakfast too. I usually end up having either a fruit salad, smoothie or oatmeal around 10. We did love your banana oatmeal cakes we made this week :)
Thanks for the vote, Kelli! Around 10am is about my speed too…brunch!
yes and yes. i am a new level of cranky if i haven’t had a sufficient breakfast by 9 a.m. my favorites are protein pancakes, baked oatmeal, yogurt bowls, and smoothies (in the summer… you couldn’t pay me to drink one during chicago winter)
Not to rub it in, but it’s going to be 78F and sunny here in San Diego today…I could never survive a Chicago winter again!
All those sweet picture make me crave for sugar even more… mmmm, four more days of my sugarless life. Yes, I love breakfast, my favorite is four grains rolled oats with blueberries, and we eat it almost every day. On Sundays I usually make an omlette, or frittata, or pancakes.
good luck on your 4 days!
I’m a breakfast eater, but not at breakfast time. My mom always tells me my eating schedule is whack. I eat when I am hungry, what can I do?
Voted. I’m all about vanilla lately and I want those vanilla donuts!!
Thanks for voting :)
And eat when hungry…common sense. I do the same but many people don’t but that’s a whole other topic.
I’m the same way as you in the morning. If I’m planning to work out or is I don’t have to be anywhere for a while I put off breakfast until 11 or even noon. But if I’m heading out the door for a while I’ll force myself to eat something so I don’t have to pack something up. I just can’t workout with food in my stomach at all.
Definitely an oatmeal girl. I have yet to try the oatmeal cakes though. They always look so good. I need to remember those for the weekend.
I’m a breakfast girl through and through. In fact, there are days where all I eat is breakfast – smoothies, oats, breakfast bars, omelets… I love it all. Oh, and can’t forget the pancakes!!! Just commented on the contest, good luck :)
Thanks for commenting and I know you love your brekkie foods!
just voted for your recipe!
those blueberry oat cakes look amazing!!!
my favorite breakfast would be oatmeal (but I go in spurts where I love it and where I seem to almost hate it), spinach, green beans, baked blueberry oatmeal, a smoothie…. or just plain ‘ol cereal sometimes is perfect. :)
Thanks for voting!
Congratulations Averie!
I’m also not very hungry in the morning, but I’ll always eat bagels (if they are not plain ones).
I eat breakfast after my coffee and workout. It’s usually some version of a homemade protein bar or smoothie because those whip up quickly and it’s easy to switch up the ingredients for some variety. I’m often running out the door with my breakfast (on the days I work) so I like the portability factor too. I voted for your donuts–good luck to you!
Thanks for the vote, Paula.
I’ve voted, I hope you win! Those donuts look amazing!
Thanks, Kathryn…you’re a sweetheart!
Ahh thank you so much for this! I’ve just spent the last half an hour trying to plan my day tomorrow, and thinking about what to do for breakfast, but I JUST discovered the last of your PB chocolate protein bars that I had all wrapped up in the freezer.. perfect !!
Glad you’re enjoying the bars!
Yes I eat breakfast!!! It’s my most favourite meal of the day. My standby morning favourite is protein oats made with unsweetened coconut milk, chopped nuts & raisins, and blueberries mixed in. delicious! I also like french toast with maple syrup and berries, or for a more savoury option i go for poached eggs and a ginormous plate of steamed spinach! Do you ever eat greens or veggies at breakfast?
I also don’t eat a big meal if I’m going to exercise. Like you I wait until I’m done with my workout before digging in to something a bit more substantial.
Sometimes, yes, just depends what I’m feeling like. It’s usually more of a brunch than breakfast for me and just depends how much cooking I’ve already been up and what I feel like making and how ambitious I am.
Im new to this alkaline vegan diet. I just started this week actually. I had to reply when you said french toast. I have to know how you do this please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
