4 Easy Breakfast Recipes to Transform Your Mornings 

As a kid, I was a tad bit jealous of the other kids whose parents bought them lunchables and sugary cereals. Now, I realize how much my mom loved us ( not that those parents don’t, but still ) to cook my brother and I breakfast and lunches to take to school every day, she even made desserts for us to take. I was really blessed and didn’t know it.

You've come such a long way since that tiny apartment in New York. Good for you!

When the littlest girl puts the scrambled eggs in her mouth, smiles and looks at the chef with love and admiration before approvingly rocking in her chair.. nuff said.

"These are everyday muffins I don't have time for that" As a mom of 3 that cooks almost everything for my family I resonate with that so deeply. Thank you for highlighting recipes and techniques to feed a family well, rather than show off for parties.

You are very lucky to have such a big garden.

maybe this only applies to American people. I'm Asian (Filipino) and in our household it's always a mix of the following - bread (hot pandesal), fried/rice, pancakes, eggs (choose your preference), longganisa, hotdog, peanut butter, coffee/hot choco, orange juice, SPAM (for you guys, those are dark times. for us, we love it) tapa (beef) tocino, bangus.

I live in Turkey and here the go to weekday breakfast is cheese, olives, eggs, cucumbers and tomatoes, fresh bread and tea. You can find this breakfast at every home in the morning. If you get bored, you make a grilled cheese sandwich in a panini maker. Or you make an omelet, or menemen (Google menemen, it is soooo good). Turkish breakfast is mostly savory, and if you want something sweet, you have honey or some jam. I'm working and I'm a mom and it takes 10 minutes to make the tea and set the table. Nowadays with so much spring fruits, I make smoothies too, which adds an international twist. I rarely make pancakes too but only at weekends.

I am from Germany and however stereotypical it may seem, a slice of a delicious healthy bread with some butter and cheese will always be my go to. We have many small independent bakeries who care for their products and as a student, having to eat some breakfast on the the go often, they make my life so much easier. Bread in itself is such a crazy thing, so many different ways to make it and put flavor into it. Recently I’m really hooked on carrot bread with the crust covered in seeds;)

I’ve followed you for years and years (back when you were Brothers Green!) and even remember your super tiny functional kitchen! I’ve also got 2 young kids and It’s been so great to be in the same life stages as you… it’s like you’re evolving with me and your videos are exactly what I need at the time! Always love your content!

I love these uncomplicated healthy feed-your-family recipes :) You definitely have been key to helping me feel more confident in the kitchen. I was never taught to cook and learned from you and your brother over the past several years. You don't just teach recipes and techniques, you have taught me how to not be afraid of the kitchen and cooking beyond a recipe.

16:54 I love this video! As a young Baby Boomer (61) I was cooking healthy food for my family from the get-go! Cookies were filled with fibre. Muffins were made with lots of fibre (flax, etc) and pulp from my champion juicer. “Ice cream” was made with frozen fruit sent through the champion juicer. Vitamix became our most used appliance for making green monster shakes, vegetable soups, and nut milks. I was doing “hot-cold salads” (what you guys call Buddha bowls, I think). And depending where we lived I had a large vegetable garden. I ground fresh wheat from the farmers when we lived on the prairies (no gluten allergies) and also got into sourdough and regular yeast bread, experimenting with flours like rye and spelt. It truly has been fun watching your videos from the early Brothers Green morphing into your current style, which I just love!! The only thing I have not been able to do yet is raise our own laying hens (municipal by-laws). Again, I just love the current iteration of your videos. Love the dad cooking for his family , love the humour, enjoyed the graphics too! ❤

I've been making breakfast smoothies everyday for 15 years. I got recipes that you would love.

Savoury oats is my go-to. I add extra water to give it a more congee like consistency and flavour it with dashi and soy sauce. Toppings consist of things like: ground flax seeds, ​white pepper, soft boiled eggs, frozen spinach, chilli oil, pork floss, furikake, roasted sesame seeds, shichimi, green onions crispy, fried onions or tonkatsu sauce Leftover shredded chicken also makes a good addition as well

We were both lucky and unlucky to be 1st generation immigrants from Cambodian with a vibrant diaspora in Long Beach, CA. I don’t remember eating processed foods very much, only as a rare treat. Grandpa, aunty or dad was always cooking with whole food. I know it’s filler in the strict definition, but have rice on hand at all times really saved the day! Great video!

Breakfast burrito for life

Hi! Thanks for these amazing recipes! I’ve been watching them for years. Just a tip, if you’re not gluten intolerant (celiac disease) and you don’t have a gluten allergy, it really is not at all necessary to use gluten free flour. It isn’t even ‘healthier’ for you, since gluten free flour lacks in fiber. Making a ‘mix’ with (gluten) spelt flour and glutenfree flour is objectively a waste. I know it’s a trend to a eat less gluten, but it’s a big big BIG scam. If you think you might be intolerant, please do get your blood tested.

The base and technique for your banana nut muffins is great! I've adapted it quite a bit to suit me and it worked out surprisingly well. Now I'm healthifying other recipes I have using the same concept. What I appreciate is you teaching cooking/baking, rather than how to make just one recipe. It makes me more versatile and confident in experimenting without wasting too much money, as I've been known to do in the past. I also like that the muffin recipe is small, so even if I do mess up, it's not such a huge loss. Thank you!

@ProHomeCooks I ❤how you add clips of your cute little girls eating the different recipes that you are showing us. It makes picky eaters like me want to cook your recipes. BTW, SUPER CUTE glasses on your baby girl! 🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷

This was awesome. Very creative very healthy and enjoyable to see it in a family context.

"cooking beyond a recipe", as one person wrote here: yes!!!! thank you so much for all your teachings! I love how you teach us not to be afraid of a recipe and just cook from the heart, so to speak. and your girls are adoooorable!

Man those kids dont know how good they have it. I want to be fed by mike every morning.

I make healthy muffins all the time since they freeze so well! Oat and almond flour, yogurt, berries, nuts, shredded apple or carrots...soo many options

Those muffins are great, made them this week! I normally skip breakfast and now I can grab one and eat it on my way to work - game changer

Your girls are soooooo cute, I love watching them eat, they truly love their food and that is precious to watch!

0:43 ABSOLUTELY NAILED THAT INTRO. There is nothing more spot on than that millennial observation. I laughed so hard at the “dark ages of the kitchen” lol so true man. When I tell my kids what we had for lunch (mind you, I make my kids super awesome elaborate sandwiches for lunch with fresh fruits and veges on the side, sometimes olives and pickles, great homemade muffins or banana bread) they can’t believe it. My lunch was white bread with margarine and Nutella spread, a juice box, roll ups, packet of twisties or other chips, and some gross fruit which I NEVER ate. We never even had drink bottles as kids like they didn’t exist back in the 80s and 90s. If we ever wanted water (which was rare) we would have a bubbler no one really used. Now I can’t imagine life without a bottle of water with me. I remember when they first tried to sell mount Franklin bottles of water (I was about 18/19) and I thought it was THE most ridiculous product ever. Flash forward 20 years and look where we are today.

Hi love your contents! Question: Which juicer are you using for making almond milk? would love to give that a try! Thank you!

I at first did not understand the title. i don't know anything other than making my own breakfast:) If I don't, there is no breakfast. It was not the case growing up though. I just changed my habits over time, especially once I had kids. We have no ready-made breakfasts (don't really know what that would look like anyway apart from cereal which i never buy) at home. Family favorites: banana pancakes or waffles ( and by pancakes I actually mean more like "crepes"), oatmeal, green smoothies (my kids love those), muffins, omelette...We also love having home-made whole-grain bread at home, we stopped buying bread during the pandemic, my husband developed a passion for baking bread in 2020:) It's important to me that the whole family starts the day with a complete meal with protein, healthy fats and complex carbs. Fruit or veggies are also often present at the breakfast table.

The editing in your recent videos is so fun. Loved the window-wiper effect. 😂

I'm from Cambodia. I heard my friend talking a lot about Bro Home Cooks. I have watched your videos. Awesome ❤

In our home it's banana nut ,blueberry, lemon poppy seed or pumpkin muffins, homemade bagles with creme fresh and smoked salmon, overnight oats, kiefer smoothies or breakfast burritos .....unless my FIL is here, then it's a full English.

I made muffins regularly when my four children were growing up using the Tightwad Gazette "Universal Muffin Recipe". They were very cheap to make and add extra nutrition from powered milk, flax seeds, and healthy grains, fats and sweeteners. Since I wasn't a morning person, I had the dry ingredients all ready to go in a bowl and the wet ingredients mixed up in the blender container in the fridge. In morning while oven was preheating, I mixed the wet and dry together then put in the tins and baked.

The porridge recipe is amazing with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top 👌

You put the green smoothie in an opaque sports bottle - brilliant!

I really liked this video. As someone who is a mood eater of breakfast this was a great round up of ideas. Thank you. 😊

Dang, the chickens are so happy to live at your house that they eat so well and healthy.😅

baking is always an exact recipe

Just a little tip for people that try to produce as much food as possible themselves: Mashed Apples (applesauce without added sugar) are also really nice to for example to sweeten pancakes. It's really delicious :) thanks for your videos!

My mom has this old juicer she’s had for the last 20 years feels like. But anyways she would make this amazing beet, carrot and orange juice, it was delicious and good for you. She juiced the beets and carrots and sometime would add just orange juice to it.

Great video as always, love the creativity. Man your comment section is feeling down this video. Ignore and keep up the good work! I always feel inspired afterwards!

Thanks, this is awesome. And I love seeing your kids! Brings back so many memories of feeding my now 20-something kids!

FYI - theres a full recipes link in the description for the muffins since that's the most complex recipe out of the four.

Niice videoo, defo gonna try the oats recipe! Usually have oats in the morning, fillings and addons vary.

Wow, what you said about being the child of a boomer hit the nail on the head! My mum was a terrible cook when I was growing up, despite my grandmother cooking everything from scratch, and I am now here trying to teach myself all the skills that have been lost thanks to the rise of processed foods and non existent food education. Thank goodness for RU-vid and people like you! X

I really enjoy your channel and the enthusiasm you have for cooking. Even though I'm a vegetarian and you often cook with meat, I watch to get your take on new ideas in the kitchen and things to try. For years my breakfast go-to was cold (non-sugary) cereal but recently I switched to smoothies to up my protein count. Yes, the powder doesn't help the flavour but a fresh banana and frozen blueberries help.

I really enjoy your videos and definitely admire your cooking skills! You making healthier food for your family and also sharing is much appreciated!

THIS INTRO!!!! 🔥 fellow millennial here and I’m taking back my kitchen with your help, so great!!

Not being a stickler at all but being a type 1 diabetic for over 28 years, it's not sugar free if you don't add the maple syrup, it's no sugar added. That can mess up one's carb to insulin unit ratio count. Love your recipes and content. Thanks for keeping it real!

I'm a gen x'er, baby boomer parents, and we never had sugary cereal for breakfast. And I mean never. The sweetest we ever had was rice crispy with banana slices added. But we usually had eggs, oatmeal, cream of wheat or a warm shredded wheat log. Every now and then we had a sweet Raisin Bran (love raisin bran). I live in Newfoundland Canada, and walked to school, so a good breakfast was needed, especially in the winter (Nov to march). Sundays were set aside for a full breakfast of bacon, eggs or french toast/pancakes. I always found it strange that people would have basically desert or candy (that's what those cereals are like) for breakfast.

I love the fact that you are literally grocery shopping in your garden 😮❤

I've been prepping my breakfasts for work lately and honestly egg fried rice is great to have in the morning!

I never had any of these ingedients when it comes to making breakfast items like these, cause most of my family especially my parents NEVER has the times of day to think outside of the box or come out of their comfort zone to experiment stuff like this and I've mostly been eating mostly cereals for breakfast my whole life, you are one amazing home cook and I really need to take note of this to make these myself, there are those times when you really have to do it yourself and share what you've learn with your family.

Just did the banana muffins! Came out super yummy, I used barley, oat and regular flour! Thanks for sharing 😊

I love how his non-stick spray sounds like a TIE-Fighter through the mic

Love all these options. You're an awesome teacher.

So funny! I threw a low carb King Arthur muffin mix together with what I had around. Butter for the oil, almond milk, eggs, cheddar cheese and roasted salted pecans. Put it in the muffin tins, put it in the convection oven, sat down to my YT notifications of which is this amazing video of you, starting out with muffins! Makes my day, Thanks! Btw your daughter is adorable!

Love these ideas! I have been needing new breakfast recipes to cook for the family, and these are great!

Sugary cereal and chemistry set food? GenX definitely grew up with those too!

Love the family friendly meals. Thanks for another terrific video.

Great!I love low sugar high protein breakfast

I just stumbled across your channel and am loving it!! Thanks so much! keep em coming!

This is very similar to how I make breakfast for me and my kids, I have a 3yr old and 4yr old. Our muffins are bakery style muffins that use Greek yogurt and frozen berries. We like a chia breakfast bowl instead of the oats. If you heat up your milk, the chia seeds will gel in about 5 min, then add Greek yogurt and serve with berries heated up in a skillet. Sweeten and flavor it of course. And we love smoothies with banana and frozen berries and Greek yogurt and milk. I might try adding some greens next time. I am interested in trying your oatmeal. I think we would like it with some granola on top. Thanks for the inspiration 😊

your baby girls are just too cute! 😍🥰 great video!

I am impressed that you are teaching your kids to eat veggies incorporated into what you cook. I'm diabetic so I have to go even "healthier" than you do. I like the egg recipes.

Thank you 🤗 you’ve inspired me and your efforts don’t go unnoticed! This was awesome so thanks again.

Your babies are so big!! I love the breakfast videos!! More please 🙏🏻

Thank you! I needed to see this today. I respect the new ways you've really do some complex things but I really enjoy your simple videos. I don't have a ton of time or space to make all the things. Thank you for giving me a bit of inspiration today. I will be making those muffins and now off to make a smoothie.

Love this video and oatmeal versatility. For smoothies, I recently started to add mung beans for protein. Good texture and little flavor so it's a great add.

The most important part of this muffin recipe is that it’s literally bulletproof as long as you follow the loose recipe. Don’t have coconut oil, use butter or olive oil. Don’t have eggs? Use apple sauce. Sick or the same flavor, add peanut butter/almond butter/chocolate chips/dates. If you’re my wife and you hate pouring them into individual muffin tins, bake it in a Bundt pan or loaf pan.

I'll be using the oatmeal idea for sure. And this type of "scrambled omelette" is my go-to breakfast. It's easy, fast, and so customizable. I'll usually stick to 2 or 3 ingredients at the most, as it gets a bit too much for a couple of eggs, but it's such a great way to add flavour and variety to scrambled eggs. Though I still regularly, at least once a week, make just plain scrambled eggs - bit of milk, salt and pepper - and it's already delicious.

I definitely ate my share of cereal 🤣❣👍

I love that you make food for your kids, dad food is very special 💕

Thank you !!!

I really love the green smoothie you put together! My go to has been frozen bananas (I slice them up and freeze them), spinach and almond milk. It's creamy, delicious and super simple. I appreciate the point you made in 16:20 as well!

Banana cranberry oat is my go to muffin

Your show is awesome. Your presentations are awesome! Even after years of watching. ☝️

Love watching your videos and Your family ~

Fantastic recipes ❤ Your banana pancakes literally changed our lives as our 3-year old daughter is gluten intolerant and very very fussy. Going to try the banana muffins now. Just a word of caution though, check out how bad coconut oil is in terms of saturated fats. Might be best to find an alternative 😊 Keep up the great work though, it's very good ❤

I love oatmeal, because you can flavor it in so many different ways based on what you have in your house. One of my favorites is chunky monkey: a banana, a spoonful of peanut butter and some cocoa powder.

Classics are just the best!

Thank you for bringing up the increasing technology and the fact that people get more and more disconnected from their seasonal rhythms! Very important to be aware of the fact that we do not live the way our bodies are made to :)

Thanks for the greats inspiration! Am going to try the muffins n oats for my kid!🎉

Love the videos .... continued success

Still making your easy banana pancakes. Kids love them. Will get these muffins in the rotation

Wonderful muffin recipe! So adjustable. I didn’t have bananas on hand but I had just made a huge batch of applesauce which worked great. Huge hit with the whole family! I will definitely be using this more. Thank you so much for your videos, they’ve helped level up my home cooking ❤

doing a juice fast right now, I’m going to try these when I’m done , thank you they look unreal !

Just want to mention, these muffins are a hit with my family so thank you very much Mike!

great vid with a great message!

Yesssss missed these type of videos!!

Thank you so much

I do muffins like that with Kodiak Cakes protein mix and add shredded zucchini! The kids love them

I am following you guys since years and i enjoy every single video. I learned how to butcher a chicken, do smart meal prep and in general being inspired by your recipes. thanks

Except for the amazing garden full of fresh greens and the barn 😅…. this channel is so relatable! Thank you for your amazing tips!!!

Tip - If you like Bob's red Mill thick cut oats - and you se them for $30+ for 4, 32 oz bags, like 26-30 cents/oz, and 2-4 week delivery (even with prime) - put them in your cart and wait a few days or a week. When they are back in stock - they go down to 15 cents/oz, and overnight/regular delivery times. Right now - direct from Bob's Red mill - they are 12 cents/oz - search for and see what teh price is now, then wait - never seen it lower than .12 cents. "Bob's Red Mill Organic Extra Thick Rolled Oats, 32-ounce (Pack of 4)" and the organic is usually more - it is just a cycle.

I am tired of oatmeal with brown sugar and bagged cereal with milk! Thank you for this -it's timely

Thank you for teaching so many of us how to cook well, you're the best! and I've been making that home made kombucha and now I'm known as the Kombucha guy in my circle.

actually love to through in some zucchini into my smoothies because it feels like they are getting pretty creamy that way especially with frozen zucchini whenever I ran out of joghurt or don't buy any because I ain't sure if I am using that up. I love how easy and quick your recipes are and that msot of them I could make in the evening because I can't make that much noise getting up 3 hoursa before my husband does during the week ( that would be quite mean) . You are doing an amazing job by still throwing out great food infos and recipes after all these years ^^

so incredible to watch your videos still today. many people will say "fans for years" ... i have been a fan so long i was getting inspired at 14 or so by your brother's "Living on $3 a Day" ... almost 8 years ago.

Man I wanna live in your garden with your chickens lol

And for vegans I guess you can replace the eggs for aguafava and the yoghurt for a home made, maybe unfiltered, thicker, oat milk; skip the honey or replace for another sweetener, like stevia or whatever, and for celiacs, use only gluten free flour. Lactose intolerants just don't use any dairy products, so the almond milk would be perfect, even the same oatmilk I mentioned earlier, maybe with more water so it more milk-like, but still, any other alternative too. Actually a pretty doable breakfast, I like the variety in it, you can change it to your liking or needs as you see fit. Nice

Your property is an inspiration. So beautiful! Goals... I live in one of the most expensive cities in the world though so I've gotta fix that first, haha. Love your focus on seasonal eating. I have another apple pie oat recipe I do where I cook the oats separately but I'm keen to try cooking the oats with the apple now! Thanks.
