Sunday Recipe Inspiration: The Best Breakfasts!

Pancakes and waffles for the win. [King Arthur Flour]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 329 [Hero Recipe: Vermont Maple Swirl Bread]( I never was much of a breakfast person. A piece of toast spread hastily with butter and jam did the trick most mornings in high school, and my college years — while formative in many ways — weren’t exactly a paragon of nutrition. So it’s come as a surprise to me that I’ve fallen in love with breakfast as an adult. I like creamy scrambled eggs on toasted sourdough and smashed avocado on seeded filone, topped with lemon juice and chili flakes, and chilled overnight oats swirled with berry compote and shredded coconut. But most of all I like the ritual of breakfast. I like taking myself out to cozy restaurants with just a book for company. It can be a squishy booth in an unassuming diner or a barstool at a bustling French bistro — it’s all a calm, peaceful way to start a day. And I love cooking breakfast at home. In my kitchen, I can make breakfast exactly the way I want it, and cater easily to my mood and appetite. My plea to you this week is to rediscover the simple, everyday pleasure of breakfast. To set aside a slice of morning to sit down and nourish yourself, rather than relegating the best breakfast foods to the weekend. Of course, I’m talking about pancakes and waffles! These dishes are always considered “weekend fare,” which I don’t understand. First of all, they’re not time-consuming! And secondly, they’re just as wholesome and satisfying as anything else, given the right recipe. For example, these [oat and yogurt pancakes]( are like a trifecta of breakfast hits, combining rolled oats with plain yogurt in a simple pancake batter. (Try adding cornmeal or ground flaxseed in place of the hi-maize fiber!) If you like extremely fluffy and light pancakes, I highly recommend trying our [whey pancakes](. You can make your own whey by draining plain yogurt, or find it pretty easily nowadays in stores. It has a very mild tang, like buttermilk, and yields an exceptionally tender texture. One of my best-kept secrets (oops, no longer!) is the frozen waffle. I make a double batch of [the best waffles ever]( (can’t argue with that name) and freeze them, pulling one out to toast or reheat in the oven whenever I want. But the real sleeper hit of all the waffle recipes on the King Arthur website is our [sprouted wheat waffle]( recipe. So many of my fellow employee-owners swoon over these waffles, which have a wonderfully rich, nutty, and subtly sweet flavor. Of course, there is a time and a place for a slightly more luxurious breakfast. Enter the Dutch baby: a gorgeously rumpled giant pancake that looks a bit like a cross between a regular pancake and a crêpe that just stumbled out of bed. Start with our [lemon puff version](, and report back!
