@1214mom that sounds amazing. Sort of like pierogis with onions and sour cream - I’m IN!!!
I love yeasted breakfast breads like cinnamon rolls.
I also love chocolate twists, which I make once in awhile. They are brioche dough with chunks of bittersweet chocolate running throughout. Just bread and chocolate. So good fresh with a cup of Peet’s coffee.
The frozen chocolate croissants from Trader Joe’s are the best! They are proper “pain au chocolate”, not croissant shaped, and you take them out the night before so they can proof and rise.
They bake and come out looking better than the photo on the box, just an insane and buttery explosion of flakes!
I found some in the freezer recently that had been there since Xmas and they were still perfect.
But this time of year, I usually have peaches and yogurt with homemade strawberry puree and it’s pretty good, for being healthy and all.
Love this!
Favorite guilty pleasure breakfast food, which I eat probably once every five years: a whole box of regular Cap’n Crunch, over two days. Omg, I love that!
@Aguadecoco , chilaquiles are my son’s favorite birthday dinner. Love it.
Natasha’s Kitchen apple mini pancakes… yummmmm… like apple fritters. Served with berries and Ellenos yogurt.
This recipe makes breakfast for a small army… we halve it for the two of us and then skip lunch.

Yum! Nothing like pumpkin pie.
Okra fried in cornmeal is excellent for breakfast.
I eat oatmeal with raisins and almonds almost every morning.
My guilty pleasure breakfast would probably be peach or coconut cream pie.
When I worked as a nutrition educator (I hate to admit this), I had at least a few Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia mornings. It was a tough job.
I’m going to do my best to pretend I never learned about such a product at TJs.
Very dangerous…
I love potato pancakes. I pretty much love potatoes in every forms, but leftover mashed potatoes fried up with butter and sour cream is heaven.
@momofsenior1 - My dad used to make “bacon bread” (bread toasted in bacon fat) on camping trips. It was heavenly, and less mess to clean up in that pan - of course now we all know that it was clogging our arteries, so I don’t make it. We use microwave bacon (saute’d in a pan while camping and at home, for less mess.
For splurge, I like to go out for breakfast. Almost all choices are way too much fat / salt / etc … so we don’t do it often. And not at all during covid, unless you count the Perkins takeout I brought to my mother this week. The cinnamon roll with icing is 720 calories - good thing I only had 1/4 of it (plus other goodies).
@greenwitch I love the Trader Joe’s croissants, both the chocolate and almond. I recently discovered the plain croissants. They do not need to rise overnight as the filled croissants do and are so buttery and flaky. We enjoy them with jam, Nutella, and more butter.
Chocolate Chip pancakes. Of course I have to have these with real maple syrup.
An alternative is oatmeal with either chocolate pudding or chocolate ice cream.
Please do not tell my cardiologist!
@Midwest67 @JazzyTXMom - Trader Joe’s had an addition during the holidays a couple of years ago - a wreath of spiral cinnamon rolls that baked to about 14" across. That thing was just magnificent with a house full of guests waking up to it!
I never looked for it again. Too dangerous.
Ellenos yogurt with the lemon, the guilty part is the price!
We had steel-cut oatmeal with a dram of whiskey mixed in when we stayed at a B&B in Edinburgh. When we got home, we switched to Bailey’s Irish Cream. Nice warm treat on a good morning, and I plausibly can argue that I’m lowering my cholesterol.
DH makes blueberry muffins from fruit we’ve picked. I make raspberry scones, also from PYO farms.
I’m going to make a cherry clafoutis for DH’s birthday breakfast next week. It’s an egg-custardy thing. We’ll see how it goes!
I think ice cream (but mine is vanilla) on oatmeal is a great treat, too!
Reading this thread was a huge mistake! Never knew there were so many ways to sin in the morning with breakfast.
Saturated fat, has been unfairly maligned, just like eggs once were, and studies/medical opinions and guidance are changing. Consuming moderate levels of quality saturated fat is fine for most people.
@doschicos: Thanks for your permission to eat bacon bread!
