Chocolate-Coconut Breakfast Banana Split
Eating dessert for breakfast has never been easier, thanks to this twist on a classic banana split. We swap in strained yogurt (e.g., Greek-style or skyr) for ice cream, but you’ll still get the same ice-cream-scoop look because the yogurt’s thicker consistency helps it hold its shape well. Plus, strained yogurt has more protein for staying power. Pineapple and coconut give this banana split tropical vibes.
Apple Pie–Inspired Overnight Oats
There’s no better way to usher in fall than apple pie-inspired overnight oats in the morning. Prep and store this easy breakfast ahead of time to have on hand for busy work and school mornings. You can substitute any nondairy milk for the reduced-fat milk, or try kefir if you want your oats extra tangy.
Tofu Scramble with Spinach

This vegan tofu scramble brings on the cheesiness without cheese, thanks to nutritional yeast—a seasoning that imparts a savory, umami flavor comparable to Parmesan. Turmeric tints the tofu yellow, making it a perfect stand-in for scrambled eggs. Serve this tofu scramble for breakfast over a slice of toast or add your favorite sautéed veggies and enjoy it as an easy dinner with a side of brown rice.
