Simple Spiced Coffee
With this recipe, you’ll learn how to make Moroccan Spiced Coffee in about ten minutes, maybe nine. Spiced coffee in Moroccan style is a lovely mixture of coffee and warm and fragrant spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger, that make the coffee lovers’ day start a hint more luxurious.
Rooibos Chai Latte
Spicy chai latte is one of my favourite breakfast beverages. I used to make it with black tea, but tweaked it into a theine-free version with rooibos for my daughter. Using rooibos bush leaves gives earthy flavours to accompany spices like cinnamon and cardamom, with no bitter flavours. And it is naturally theine-free, so better for the little ones too!
Rice Porridge with Cinnamon
Traditional Finnish rice porridge is the best breakfast for a cold morning. Perfect hot dish to start the slow mood weeked. Season traditionally with cinnamon and caster sugar, or add some homemade almond butter to it like my Moroccan husband does (totally non-traditional thing, but tasty!).
Soft Kefir Cheese Spread for Bread
Simple probiotic-rich soft kefir cheese to give a boost to your breakfast breads! With the quick method, you can get your own cheese in about 15 minutes and use the whey kefir to your crepes batter. This might be just the easiest cheese you've ever made! Try the sweet rye bread it pairs beautifully with the soft kefir cheese.
Dark Hot Chocolate for a Weekend Breakfast
This dark hot chocolate is balancing between the deep dark flavors of the chocolate and the sweetness of it. So that when you take a sip you are unsure if one sip is enough or even too much, but soon you notice that the cup is empty...
It might not be the every morning breakfast beverage, but make sure to include it to you weeked breakfast recipes.
Sourdough Carrot Flatbread with Chives Spread
Use your sourdough discard to make this simple sourdough flatbread recipe with carrots in a no-fuss way in the natural living style. As in this kind of Finnish rieska (flatbread) recipe, we commonly use root vegetables in breads to give more flavour to bread. This flatbreadis easily prepared in the oven. Spread some homemade chives spread on it and you are good to go!
Whipped Lingonberry Semolina Porridge with Milk
A cold porridge made with semolina and lingonberry is a regular Nordic snack and breakfast porridge. The tart lingonberries are amazing healthy start with both wheat semolina and whole wheat semolina. I love to mix them both to get more fibers. This is a simple one to whip day before into the fridge and to just simply spoon on a plate and serve with milk. Yum-my.
Homemade Granola with Yogurt and Apricot
Make beforehand a homemade granola with dried apricots and honey. It is my go-to for an easy and joyful breakfast. Served with youghurt, the natural sweetness of apricot, nuttyness of almonds and tahini are a delight for any relaxed morning. Slice some fresh apricot and drizzle with honey...
Swedish No-Fuss Oven Pancakes
Swedish oven pancake "ungspannkaka", the yummy and simple Swedish classic is beyond compare. This easy no-fuss breakfast recipe takes about ten minutes of active making and then the oven will work for you the half an hour to get the steaming hot square pancake to slice into pieces to serve.
Pan-fried Semolina Breads
This Moroccan Harcha is a thin bread with semolina flour, and it's fast to make, as it is fried in the pan. In this recipe for semolina bread, harcha (Harsha), I have added some spelt full-grain semolina to increase the fibers to get your morning beautifully started with these flatbreads. Serve with cream cheese and honey or your favourite toppings.
Simple Kefir Crepes
Making kefir crepes is one of the delights in this family. This easy crepe recipe is one of my grandmother’s recipes that have been my staples and trusted friends for years now and years to come. Choices are endless yet the basis is so simple with only handful of ingredients! This is super yummy with homemade almond butter or sunflower seed butter or served with honey and dry-roasted cashews!
