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
I just voted for your doughnuts, they look fantastic & have finally persuaded me to go and buy a doughnut pan tomorrow!
I think I will make your vanilla doughnuts first though…it’s very annoying having a husband who doesn’t like the chocolate & pb combo but I suppose sometimes I have to keep him sweet!! ;)
I love breakfast – usually porridge or smoothies, but at the weekends I tend to make sweeter things like pancakes and french toast…I guess I’ll be adding doughnuts to that list now too!! :-D
Thanks for voting, Lucy, and enjoy your new pan!
What a fabulous round up of breakfast ideas, they all look delicious! Just voted for your too! :)
Thanks for voting, Jennifer!
WOW! I am going to have to try ALL of these. Everything looks yummy. One of my favorite breakfasts is cut-up mango, grapefruit and grapes topped with a tahini-honey-applesauce mix and sliced coconut. So delicious and filling.
I think I may need to try those peanut butter donuts!!! SOO GOOD!! I recently bought a donut pan and have been dying to make something. I think I shall this weekend :) My usual go-to breakfast item is oatmeal. Quick. Yummy. Filling.
Enjoy your new pan. I have all my donut recipes here under “donuts”

AHHHH CONGRATS!!!! I’ll vote, for sure!
Breakfast is pretty much the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning! I think it’s because I have to take my thyroid pill and then wait an hour to eat. Boo! I get really nauseous if I try to exercise without eating first, so I use the time to catch up on blogs and sip some lemon water. And then I get to eat! My absolute favorite breakfast is overnight oatmeal with an apple and chocolate peanut butter. So good!
Congrats on making it to the finals! I will go vote now.
Thanks for voting, Mattie!
Those donuts look insanely good! I always eat breakfast, I pretty much wake up starving :) I usually just have something simple like cereal, oatmeal or a smoothie but occasionally on weekends I make pancakes or eggs.
thanks, Tracey. All your food always looks insanely good to me…seriously!!
Great round-up! I am rarely hungry right when I wake up and like you I prefer to work out on an empty stomach. If I’m having a day working at home I typically have coffee right away (a must!) then eat hours later. I like a little yogurt with honey or granola, then have lunch later. Also, commented on Babble and said to pick you! Good luck :-)
Thanks for the comment over there!
WOW everything looks delicious! I need more breakfast in my life so this is perfect for me :) I just printed out your pineapple banana and coconut smoothie recipe too! Trying that tomorrow! xo
Really? Oh that’s cool…LMK how you like it if you make it!
Hi Averie!! I just wanted to say Happy New Year etc!! Im sorry I havent commented much recently – Ive been lurking a bit but Ive been TRYING to avoid sweet stuff til I return to pre xmas slimness – and your blog is always a bit of a danger zone. BUT I havent forgotten your sweet email or advice AND look forward to coming back properly once I am the proud owner of a doughnut pan :) Take Care xoxo
No apologies necessary :) Happy 2012!
Sometimes a little yogurt with berries and sunflower seeds, sometimes some eggs, or if I’m in a hurry then a Lara bar!

My all-time favorite breakfast would have to be pancakes, but I do also love eggs over easy with toast and I LOVE baked oatmeal! I have a great recipe…
