What to cook for your child for breakfast before school - delicious and quick recipes

In our material we will tell you what to feed a schoolchild in the morning. Recipes for healthy and tasty breakfasts, which will take no more than 10-20 minutes to prepare.

Schoolchildren's breakfasts have become a problem for mothers after the overthrow of the kingdom of cereals and kefir. Happy are those families where children eat porridge or cottage cheese for breakfast, even when they get up at 6-7 in the morning. They have no questions about what to offer a schoolchild in hectic mode, when the mother turns on the oven with one hand and paints her eyelashes with the other. We have collected recipes in this article for those parents who don’t have time to come up with ideas, and when reading other people’s stories about decorating freshly baked bread with slices of salmon, burrata and poached eggs, they want to turn off the Internet forever. Families are different, children are also different, it’s impossible to please everyone, but here’s a collection of ideas from forum members and more!

Classic breakfast

Here are recipes that some mothers dream about with a sigh - if only someone would eat it. Then they, too, could indifferently throw out in a conversation: “I don’t understand why children should be poisoned with rolls!” Cottage cheese, cereals, yoghurts and egg dishes are the most popular breakfasts in our country. The recipes below take time, we did not take options from Captain Obvious, like fresh cottage cheese with berries. And, of course, the recipes do not meet the PP standards - these are just healthy breakfasts without calculating the KBJU.

Cottage cheese casserole in molds

Cottage cheese – 250 g (not cereal, or grate it), 1 egg, sugar to taste, 1 tbsp semolina. Vanillin, cinnamon, coke shavings, lemon zest - optional.

Mix cottage cheese with egg, add dry foods. You can beat it with a blender for tenderness. Fill silicone/ceramic molds with the mixture (not to the top). Bake for about half an hour at 180.

Oatmeal pancake

2 eggs, 6 tbsp. spoons of “rolled oatmeal”, 6 tbsp. spoons of milk, a pinch of salt.

Pour oatmeal with hot milk or water and leave for 5-10 minutes. Then, when the mass has cooled slightly, beat in the eggs. The second option is without soaking: the flakes need to be ground, but not to powder, then mixed with eggs and milk. This amount of mixture is designed for two pancakes. In a hot frying pan, fry the pancake on both sides for 3-5 minutes with or without oil. It is important not to overexpose it. While the pancake is still hot, add fillings: banana, cheese, red fish, even chocolate - it’s up to you, after which the pancake can be wrapped in a corner or a tube.

Pancakes with oatmeal

Alternative to oatmeal pancake. Mix pancakes according to the usual recipe (for example, 1 tbsp milk, 1 egg, flour, water), but divide the amount of flour in half with oatmeal. Use a blender. Or don't use it, otherwise the flakes will make the pancakes crunchy. You can add a pinch of soda to pancakes with flakes so that they are not hard, and to extinguish it, pour 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or kefir into the dough. If you usually add boiling water to the dough, this is not the case; the oatmeal will steam in it and turn the dough into a paste.

Curd pancakes

2 eggs, 200 g cottage cheese (smooth), 1.5 tbsp milk, 1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp flour, sugar, salt.

Lightly beat the eggs with sugar, add cottage cheese, and grind with a masher to make a puree. Add milk and stir, then mix in flour. Pour in the oil and leave for 20 minutes. Bake over medium heat. The dough can be prepared in the evening, then in the morning you will need to dilute it a little with milk.

Omelette in cup No. 1

3 eggs, 100 ml milk, salt.

A tureen-type cup is suitable for omelettes. Beat the eggs with a fork with milk, add tomato pieces, cheese, and herbs if desired. At this time, melt a little butter in a mug or grease it with vegetable oil. Cook the omelet in a slow cooker for 5 minutes at the highest power.

Omelette in cup No. 2

2 eggs, 2 tablespoons sour cream, salt.

Beat the eggs with sour cream directly in a pre-greased mug. Cook in the slow cooker for 3-4 minutes on high.

Cheese pancakes with oat flakes

For 100 g of cottage cheese: 1-2 tablespoons of flour, 2 tablespoons of oatmeal, butter, 1 egg, sugar and salt.

Mix all ingredients. If you use a blender, the mass will be airy and tender. Fry covered until done.

Carrot pancakes

Large carrots, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons milk, a pinch of soda, 4 tablespoons flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt.

Grate the carrots on a fine grater and mix with the rest of the ingredients. Place a spoonful of the mixture in a frying pan heated with oil, fry over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side.

If you have 15 minutes

If mom has an extra 15 minutes, during this time she can prepare a fairly hearty, complete and appetizing breakfast for the schoolchild. Experts note that a child’s first meal must include dairy products, vegetables or fruits, as well as grain products.

Vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and fiber. Cereals provide iron, vitamins A and D, and the carbohydrates they contain improve brain function and provide energy. Dairy products contain calcium, which is necessary for a child's growing body. You can also include dried fruits and a small amount of nuts in your schoolchild's breakfast. They are tasty and very healthy.

Citrus fruits, lettuce, and berries are rich in vitamin C; consuming them will help strengthen your child’s vision. In addition, it will help the body cope more easily with mental stress and various stressful situations. Beans, eggs and grains contain vitamin E, and along with other foods, they should also be included in the child’s diet.

A sandwich is a friend of an unawakened person

In the morning, you can offer your child bread with meat: chicken breast or turkey. Three drops of mustard on bread, light sour cream, lettuce and meat - a hearty, hearty breakfast. Many children like salted cottage cheese on bread with the addition of fresh/pickled cucumbers and herbs. You can also put an omelette on the bread. If your child doesn't like "mash" breakfasts like casseroles, cereal with fruit, etc. – perhaps your solution is simple food: bread with meat, bread with scrambled eggs on top. If a child is a picky child, simplification rather than complicating the problem often saves the situation. Remove sauces, toppings, herbs and cheese, beneficial bacteria, thoughts about improper upbringing, etc. Focus on the “field breakfast for the mower” option.

When there is no time

The reality of life is that few parents can devote much time to their child in the morning, because no one has yet canceled work. And often moms and dads, not knowing what to prepare for a schoolchild’s breakfast quickly and without much hassle, give preference to ready-made breakfast cereals: corn flakes, chocolate spreads, yoghurts, instant cocoa and other products that do not require more than 5 minutes to prepare. Such a breakfast may well be present in a child’s diet, but only if several conditions are met:

• Cereals should be made from whole grains of wheat or oatmeal, but not from flour.
• The sugar content of a “quick breakfast” should be minimal.
• Porridges poured with boiling water do not provide any benefit; it is better to cook those that cook quickly.
• Sometimes it is better to replace “chemistry” with fruit, chocolate or natural cocoa.

Take out and heat up

— It’s very convenient to reheat ready-made dishes in the morning if you only have enough time to shout “get up!” These are dumplings with various fillings, frozen pancakes, pancakes and cheesecakes.

— You can also take the oatmeal dessert out of the refrigerator in the morning so it’s not cold. Recipe from our forum member (nickname Inokhodka):

1. Chocolate banana. A jar of yogurt, sugar or honey, a couple of spoons of milk, a couple of spoons of oatmeal, cocoa to taste, banana slices. Mix in a cute glass bowl (to make it look more appetizing) with a lid. Place in the refrigerator in the evening.

2. Apple-Cinnamon: Same with grated or chopped apples and cinnamon.

3. Your own options with fruits or berries.

Banana pancakes

Ingredients:

• One and a half glasses of kefir.
• Two eggs.

• A quarter stick of butter.

To make everything turn around

Homemade shawarma

This breakfast option claims to be a healthy diet, if you don’t pick on the pita bread. It depends on what you put inside. Grease the pita bread (tortilla) with low-fat sour cream or natural yogurt, lay out tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, greens, and meat prepared the night before: boiled turkey, chicken. Meatballs are also suitable, as well as cheese according to the child’s taste, white or hard. Roll it up into an envelope or “shawarma” and fry it on both sides in a frying pan.

Sandwiches

They can also be brought as close as possible to a healthy lifestyle by taking whole grain bread or flatbread. Fillings: tuna + avocado, turkey or chicken + tomato, egg white + avocado + red onion, cottage cheese + cucumber + greens. Sauce: olive oil + yogurt (low-fat sour cream) + lemon juice. Sandwich bread is fried on both sides in a dry frying pan, but it is better to purchase a sandwich maker (or “Multi-Baker”), in which sandwiches are cooked for 2-3 minutes.

Healthy snacks to take to school. Delicious and healthy snacks at school.

Dried fruits and nuts. These snack foods are considered the most powerful “Batteries” for the brain. A serving of 50-70 g is enough for a student, and so that you don’t have to collect dried fruits and nuts all over your backpack, place the school food in a container with a securely closing lid.

Fresh fruits. It is better if it is seasonal hard fruits. They won't stain things or get wrinkled in your briefcase.

Sandwiches. We are not talking about the usual combination of sausage, bread and butter. As a snack, it is recommended to take a slice of bread, one of the vegetables, as well as baked or boiled meat. Instead of the latter, a piece of hard low-fat cheese is quite suitable.

Homemade whole grain baked goods. Whole grain dishes are complex carbohydrates; they allow you to stock up on the necessary energy and get rid of hunger for a long time. And it’s even better if the baked goods come with pieces of fruit in addition.

Drink. This point also applies to healthy eating. For drinks, it is advisable to take with you a bottle of plain or mineral water without gas, or make compote or uzvar. Diamond_tips?

Why is your morning meal so important?

By morning, the baby’s body has already been without food for about ten hours. If a child skips breakfast, he has four to five hours ahead of him at his desk. There is a dining room, you might object. Yes, but often children refuse to eat what is served there. And if you give them money so they can buy something for themselves, they will buy crackers and chips. Therefore, breakfast for a schoolchild is a prerequisite for starting the day. Complete and nutritious, it allows children to be more attentive during classes and express themselves more creatively in the learning process.
