Good Old Fashioned Pancakes
Shila said: Preparing these good old fashioned pancakes with the kids has become a fun family tradition for us. These days, we're trying to take our mornings a little slower and enjoy baking pancakes from scratch. We often decorate them at-will by adding fresh blueberries, chocolate chips or even cupcake sprinkles to the mix. I hope eventually that this recipe (and experience) will land in our kids' cookbooks for generations to come! Today, though, it's definitely the number one favorite breakfast meal in our home.

Carrot Cake Oatmeal Bake
Vanessa M. said: I like to make a 9x13 pan of Carrot Cake Oatmeal Bake on a Sunday night, and reheat it for my kids on busy weekday mornings throughout the week. The hearty combination of baked oats, shredded carrots, maple syrup, and cinnamon is sweet and filling! From Plantstrong

Oven-Baked German Pancake (a.k.a. The Big Pancake)
Michael Farina said: This simple and versatile meal is a breakfast staple in our house, but it could serve as any meal. While we call it a pancake, it's really closer to a crepe, and very easy to make.
1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup flour, 3 eggs, 2 tbsp butter, salt
Melt butter in glass pie plate in an oven as it pre-heats to 415, until butter is melted and bubbling. Mix milk, flour, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, stirring each until smooth. Let batter sit 1-2 minutes. Pour batter over melted butter into hot pie plate. Bake at 415 for 10-12 minutes. Watch it rise!
Serve w/ lemon syrup: lemon juice (preferably fresh), mixed with powdered sugar.

Banana-Oat Smoothie
Kelly R said: This is one of my all-time favorite easy breakfast ideas for kids...we have been making it for over 10 years, and we still love it! Yogurt and uncooked rolled oats make it surprisingly filling, and give it a bit of a different texture than a traditional fruit smoothie. Freeze your banana first if you prefer yours ice cold.
