Mixed Berry Baked French Toast Casserole

Posted on by Sarah Kesseli

This Mixed Berry Baked French Toast Casserole is as easy as one, two, three when made with our ready-to-go Oast & Honey or Cinnamon French Toast! 

Mixed Berry Baked French Toast Casserole

French Toast is one of our favorite weekend brunches. But there are just some times when we crave a good baked French Toast during the week. That’s where this Mixed Berry French Toast Casserole steps in! It is made with just 6 ingredients, one of which is our new protein-packed French Toast, making it a breeze to whip up any day of the week!

Made with oats and ancient grains, our frozen French Toast is packed with 40g of whole grains per serving, plus 13g of protein! Starting your day on a nutritious note has never been easier! You can satisfy your craving for something sweet (we think this recipe tastes almost like dessert for breakfast YUM!) while still getting in the nutrients you need to power through your morning!

The combination of protein and whole grains is one that will keep you satiated straight until lunch.

How to mix it up!

We listed honey as an optional ingredient. If you like your French Toast a little sweeter, we recommend adding 1 tbsp. However, please keep in mind that the French Toast is already slightly sweetened. Plus, the berries add a bit more sweetness to the recipe. You can use either our Oats & Honey or Cinnamon French Toast for this recipe. Either will yield a delicious result!

When it comes to the toppings, don’t let the end be mixed berries! You could use chocolate chips, sliced bananas, sliced almonds, raisins, cranberries, a drizzle of nut butter once it’s done baking, etc. There is no limit to the possibilities after you start with a base of French Toast!

Mixed Berry Baked French Toast Casserole Ingredients:

  • 1 box Oats & Honey or Cinnamon French Toast
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp. honey, optional (use if you like a sweeter French Toast)

Breakfast Fried Rice

Love a good savory breakfast? We do too! That’s why we can’t get enough of this Breakfast Fried Rice Recipe! It includes all of the things a solid breakfast should have: carbs, protein, healthy fats, and fiber! Oh, and let’s not forget tons of flavor! That’s right! This easy, 7-ingredient breakfast dish is extra tasty, and extra quick to make! You can have this meal on the table in less than 30 minutes.

But, let’s be honest, breakfast fried rice isn’t only for breakfast! This dish works for lunch or dinner, too! It has enough staying power from the fiber-rich brown rice and protein-packed egg whites to keep you full for any meal of the day.

Love more veggies at breakfast? Go ahead and toss them right into this dish! Not only is breakfast fried rice easy, but it’s versatile too! You can add in anything that you’d like. Have leftover chicken? Swap that for the bacon. Want to add in some peas or diced peppers? Go for it! You can also swap the brown rice for white, jasmine, or basmati rice. But please keep in mind that the fiber won’t be as high, i.e., you might not stay full quite as long.

No matter how you serve it up, added veggies, breakfast, lunch, dinner, side dish, it is guaranteed to be a home run with everyone in the family! We won’t say anything if you decide to toss in a few more egg white patties because you are looking for more protein. We do the same thing!

Egg White Patty Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches

This Egg White Patty Croissant Breakfast Sandwich is a must-have to start your day! A buttery croissant layered with 2 high-protein egg white patties, a slice of bacon, cheese, and guacamole. All ready in less than 5 minutes! 

Egg White Patty Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches

Mom always said that breakfast was the most important meal of the day. Well, we wholeheartedly agree! This 5 minute Egg White Patty Croissant Breakfast Sandwich is the perfect balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats. It is guaranteed to keep you both satiated and energized all morning.

Just check out those layers! Our high-protein egg white patties (only 35 calories each, mind you!), crunchy bacon, melted cheese, and smooth guacamole. This sandwich is done up so right.

You can prepare and enjoy them right away. Or, make several ahead of time to take with you to the office in the morning. Wrap the croissant in tin foil and just pop it in the toaster at work to warm it through. Long gone are the days when you need to spend $12.00 at a high-end coffee shop for a sandwich like this. Instead, save yourself time, money, and unnecessary calories by making your own at home.

Make it fit your goals!

If you are following a lower calorie diet, you can remove either the bacon or the cheese (or both) to save fat calories and add on salsa for extra flavor! Made as is, this breakfast sandwich has only 526 calories. But, if you remove the bacon and cheese and add in an extra egg white patty and some salsa, you have a sandwich with less than 400 calories!

Also, if you are looking for an easy and tasty brunch idea for guests, this is it! Just prepare all of the ingredients and serve them buffet style, allowing your guests to create their own sandwich. We would recommend adding fruit salad and coffee/tea to the mix!

Southwestern Chipotle Egg White Patty Tacos

These Southwestern Chipotle Egg White Patty tacos are loaded with flavor and light on calories. 

Southwestern Chipotle Egg White Patty Tacos

Unapologetically just made the best healthy egg white breakfast tacos you will ever see. Yes, we said breakfast tacos! However, these simple, high-protein tacos would be great for lunch or dinner, too!

We lightened up this recipe by using our low-calorie egg white patties. Each patty contains only 35 calories, but a whopping 6g of protein. This makes the egg white patties a great way to add volume to your usual breakfast taco without a lot of calories.

The game-changer in this recipe is the southwestern chipotle seasoning that makes the egg white patties feel like an authentic Mexican ingredient. It’s kind of like adding taco seasoning to your ground beef when making traditional tacos, but much better!

You could opt to go with more traditional toppings like shredded cheese, tomato, and lettuce. But, we wanted to add a fresh burst of flavor with the cilantro-lime sour cream! The sour cream really takes these to a whole new level!

The fun never ends!

The best part is that the southwestern chipotle seasoning and the cilantro-lime sour cream make a lot of extra, so you can enjoy this recipe on repeat! If you are serving these for a big party, both ingredients should be plenty to go around!

Are you ready to get cooking and enjoy #TacoTuesday with us every day of the week?

Zucchini Banana Bread Oatmeal

Posted on by Sarah Kesseli

Lightly sweetened steel-cut oatmeal that is mixed with shredded zucchini, banana and topped with nut butter. It’s just as good as a freshly baked loaf of bread. Vegan. Gluten Free. 

Zucchini Banana Bread Oatmeal

For those of you who let breakfast slip your mind, this recipe is for you! The ease of this recipe, plus the sweet flavors that remind you of grandma’s freshly made zucchini banana bread are a guaranteed way to make breakfast unforgettable!

Like many recipes on the blog, this steel cut oatmeal recipe is customizable! We start with a base of our organic oatmeal and then add in fresh grated summer zucchini and banana. Then we added in brown sugar since it gives this recipe the most traditional zucchini banana bread flavor. However, coconut sugar or maple syrup work, too! If you are reducing your sugar intake, make this with an extra ripe banana, and you won’t even need to add any sweetener.

We finished this sweet breakfast oatmeal off with a dollop of peanut butter and crushed peanuts for crunch. However, any nut or seed butter would work as a replacement. We have even finished it off with coconut butter (kind of like an icing) and boy, oh boy, is it delicious!

You can add other fun mix-ins like mini chocolate chips, walnuts, or even blueberries! If you are into meal prepping, then this oatmeal recipe is perfect! You can batch prepare this! Add all of your ingredients to a pot on the stovetop and then follow the same process. (You might need to add a splash of water). Then, evenly divide the oatmeal among your mason jars, allow to cool and then seal up! You will have a delicious grab-n-go breakfast ready at your fingertips each morning! Pretty sweet, huh?!

Zucchini Banana Bread Oatmeal Ingredients:

  • 1 pouch Good Food Made Simple Steel Cut Oatmeal
  • 1/2 small zucchini, shredded

Pancake Puff Banana Split

Posted on by Sarah Kesseli

Pancake puffs served on top of greek yogurt, a split banana and finished off with chocolate, fruit, sprinkles, and honey. A healthy spin on dessert pancakes!  

Are you ready to flip your traditional savory breakfast and give this sweet, almost dessert-like pancake puff banana split a try? We thought so! Who doesn’t love a good sweet start to the day?

Although we usually gravitate towards something savory, we do love a good plate of waffles, bowl of oatmeal, or pancake puff recipe! Dare we say that the pancake puffs might even be our favorite of the three? They just slightly outrank our oatmeal combos that are also pretty much like dessert.

Since our pancake puff ice cream sundae bowls were such a hit, we figured we would create a new spin that would be a bit more in line with breakfast. We must admit, the result was pretty sweet! (pun intended)

We swapped the traditional banana split ice cream for a high-protein Greek yogurt, then we added a banana because you can’t very well have a banana split without the banana! Then we added our pancake puffs, some fresh berries, cherries, mini chocolate chips (totally breakfast friendly, right?), sprinkles and a drizzle of honey for sweetness!

This is the perfect balance of protein and carbs to set you up for a long day! Or, you could serve this as a sweet ending to a long, tiring day. Nothing says happiness and comfort more than a banana split — in any form.

Get the kids involved in making them too! Let them help you create a ‘build your own’ pancake puff banana split bar by picking out the toppings and creating their favorite combo. We guarantee they won’t even know these are healthy-ish!

There is nothing more comforting than a big plate of Easy Chicken & Buttermilk Waffles. It is the ultimate combination of savory and sweet. And since we can never get enough sweetness, we added a touch of maple syrup to finish it off.
