Reindeer Pancakes
Are you seeing a trend here? Yeah, pancakes are the easiest way to make Christmas morning fun and delicious at the same time. Pancakes are a staple for Christmas breakfast ideas.
Christmas Egg In A Hole
Simply use small holiday shaped cookie cutters to create fun shapes in bread, and then cook scrambled eggs right in the bread cut-outs on a frying pan, or cook them separately in the cookie cutter shape of your choice for a cleaner look.
Christmas Morning Oatmeal
Top a bowl of oatmeal with fruit, coconut shavings, nuts, chocolate chips, chocolate syrup or anything else you can think up to make oatmeal festive and fun for the holidays. When you have little ones begging to open presents, this Christmas breakfast idea gets creative, yet can be very quick to make.
Christmas Tree Pancakes Christmas breakfast idea
Stack a variety of different-sized pancakes on top of each other (largest to smallest) to resemble a Christmas tree! I've also seen this done with a bit of green food coloring in the pancake batter, and then if you sprinkle it with powdered sugar it really looks like an actual snow-covered tree. Decorate your new masterpiece with fruit, chocolate syrup, whipped cream or sprinkles for the finishing touch.
Festive Christmas Breakfast Fruit Plates
Use colorful fruit to create fun holiday-themed characters and objects, and then watch the kids chow down on fruit like they never have before! They get a kick out of eating Santa's nose or Rudolph's antlers.
A pancake pen (or even squeeze bottle with the tip cut to make it a little larger) is perfect for making detailed pancake art for any holiday, especially for Christmas breakfast ideas.
Large holiday shaped cookie cutters make it easy to whip up festive pancakes!
