When it comes to baby led weaning breakfast time, it is really easy to get into a rut! Breakfast can quickly become \u2018do you want porridge or Weetabix?\u2019, but where is the excitement in that? Especially when it comes to a baby who is becoming increasingly inquisitive about food.<\/p>\n

There are so many other options that are not only quick but also lot\u2019s that can be made ahead of schedule too! When you are living in a house with 5 people on a busy school morning, having a prepped breakfast just feels like a hug! And, who wouldn\u2019t want a hug first thing in the morning?<\/p>\n

The Ultimate List of Baby Led Weaning First Foods Breakfast<\/h2>\n

This list is pretty extensive, and I have designed it to suit both busy mornings and lazy weekends. I have sectioned it also into oats, muffins, pancakes, loaded spoon (a great way to get your baby using cutlery), eggs, smoothies.<\/p>\n

Baby Oat Recipes<\/h2>\n

Number one on the list has to be oats. From porridge or overnight oats, to coconut bars and oat cookies. There are so many delicious ways you can get your baby and entire family for that matter eating oats in the morning.<\/p>\n

Good Morning Baby Breakfast Cookies<\/h3>\n

These delicious cookies never, ever last in my house. Easy for little hands to hold and really soft for little gums as well. They are super easy to make, totally delicious, are perfect for lunchboxes, and really filling too.<\/p>\n

Carrot Cake Overnight Oat<\/h3>\n

This is an amazing breakfast for baby led weaning! Overnight oats can be eaten both warm or straight from the fridge. There is something so different about oats made in this way, they turn into more a dessert for breakfast rather than plain old oats. Pre-load on a spoon for a baby at 6 months.<\/p>\n

Apple and Cinnamon Super Breakfast Muffins<\/h3>\n

Healthy Breakfast Muffins<\/h3>\n

A\u00a0perfect\u00a0solution to eating\u00a0porridge\/oats and they are so satisfying. My children love to see a few of these on a plate with\u00a0some fresh Irish strawberries\u00a0and a\u00a0little\u00a0natural yogurt on the side. It looks\u00a0like a breakfast treat, but, it really is just\u00a0lot\u2019s of healthy ingredients\u00a0disguised\u00a0as a\u00a0treat.<\/p>\n

Baby Led Weaning Egg Recipes for Breakfast<\/h2>\n

Eggs are a super addition to the breakfast table and are especially great for babys from 6 months. The recommendation is to serve eggs unless there is a history of egg allergies. Always cook eggs well and never serve runny eggs to your baby.<\/p>\n

Baby Led Weaning Smoothie Recipes for Breakfast<\/h3>\n

Smoothies in our house usually follow a wholesome breakfast. Serve a small serving of smoothie after an egg muffin or porridge muffin. I also go by the rule; mostly veggie and just sweetened with fruit rather than sweet with a little veggie added. Smoothies are great if your baby is teething especially if they have gone off their food. Add a tablespoon of oats or avocado to the mixture to make it filling and add more nutritious goodness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/p>\n

Blueberry and Spinach Smoothie<\/h3>\n

I love, love, love green healthy smoothies, any combination. Once there is a huge handful of greens in there I will happily have one every single morning. When it comes to making smoothies I always go by the rule that it has to contain mostly vegetables and is sweetened with only a little fruit. This way it is healthy and not packed full of sugar.<\/p>\n

High Protein Strawberry Breakfast Smoothie<\/h3>\n

However, it does contain oats, cottage cheese (don\u2019t switch off just yet), milk and is sweetened with only a few strawberries and 1\/2 a banana. Still super healthy and totally delicious.<\/p>\n

Banana and Turmeric Lassi<\/h3>\n

Berry and Coconut Swirl Mommy and Baby Smoothie<\/h3>\n

We call this recipe a \u2018smoothie swirl\u2019 because it is simply a mix up of 2 smoothies \u2013 a vanilla milk and a blueberry, veggie mix smoothie. It looks super impressive I think for something that took less than 10 minutes to prepare and was\u00a0presented to kids with lots of \u2018oooouuu\u2019s\u2019 and \u2018ahhhh\u2019s\u2019 and \u2018I want to try first\u2019. Not so bad for something that contains kale, beetroot and sweetened only with 1 banana and a few blueberries.<\/p>\n
