Breakfast
Ah, breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Sometimes you want a breakfast that’s more filling than a bowl of cereal but won’t cost you an arm and a leg or take ages to prepare.
Lucky for you, we’ve got a bunch of recommendations for budget-friendly breakfasts that’ll become staples of your morning routine. Try these out!
Seeded Granola
This breakfast recipe is well within a reserved weekly budget but can be a tasty way to make your morning bright. With a six-minute prep time and a 20 minute cook time, this granola will become a staple in your cabinet.
Next time you go grocery shopping, snag pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, oats, maple syrup, olive oil, and sliced almonds. Making this granola truly is as easy as combining your ingredients and then letting them sit in the oven until you’ve achieved the perfect crunch.
Banana Bread
This wonderful Banana Bread recipe takes advantage of all those ripe bananas you’ve got sitting around your pantry, so that you can avoid food waste, which is another major part of budgeting. It’s also very kid-friendly, and your little ones will enjoy mashing up the bananas and watching this loaf pop out of the oven with the perfect rise.
Most of what you’ll need will already be in your pantry: almond flour, all-purpose flour, butter, some baking powder, cane sugar, and eggs. Slightly too ripe bananas round out the mixture and ensure that this tender bread has just the right amount of sweetness.
