For the busy mornings when you don’t have time to make a breakfast.

Like they say, the best way to start your day is with a delicious and nutritious breakfast! However if you find that you don’t have time in the mornings to make breakfast, why not have a snack ready to grab and go? Sometimes if you are up really early or have to get the little ones ready for school, you might not have the time or even be in humour for a heavy breakfast, so it is really handy to have some breakfast bars or muffins ready in a lunch box to just throw in your handbag and eat on the way.

We’ve found some really easy-to-make breakfast snacks that will be perfect for busy mornings. These dishes are also really tasty treats to have with a cup of tea throughout the day. You can adapt the recipes to add or remove any ingredients.
