Adequate infant nutrition is important for ensuring proper growth and development. Since breakfast is the first meal of the day, it should be nutritious and filling. Breakfast for infants typically offers a balanced diet, with a combination of the food groups, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, and is important for nurturing a growing baby. Therefore, parents should ensure that the breakfast foods for babies are a perfect blend of nourishment and taste. Introducing fruits, vegetables, meats, grains, and millets can help you provide diverse tastes and nutrition to babies. However, coming up with new breakfast ideas every day may be challenging. Therefore, this post provides you with a list of healthy, wholesome, and easy-to-prepare breakfast recipes that your babies will enjoy. But, before that, let us understand the benefits of breakfast.

Why Is Breakfast Important?

Breakfast is crucial for babies for the same reason it is for adults. It provides calories for initiating the body’s metabolic processes (1). Even if your baby is fed in the middle of the night, his body would have surely depleted the resources by morning.

Data from the CDC National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) indicates a decline in breakfast consumption among children and adolescents as they age. The percentage drops significantly from 95.8% for children aged 2 to 5 years to 72.9% for adolescents aged 12 to 19 (2). These findings emphasize the importance of establishing a regular breakfast routine and cultivating a positive attitude toward food in children from an early age.

Quick fact

Babies who eat their breakfast are more likely to meet their nutritional requirements. Introducing and establishing a breakfast routine early in life might help them form lasting healthy food habits (31).

How Much Should A Baby Eat For Breakfast?

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends around one-third of an adult portion or one tablespoon of each food for each year of your child’s age (3). However, babies exhibit different eating habits daily. For instance, they may eat four teaspoons of banana puree for three days in a row and then reject it altogether. On another day, they may prefer to eat only a single grape.

The role of the parent here is to remain responsive and offer the child a variety of foods covering all food types in different textures and tastes. The baby will decide how much to eat. Do not try to distract the child to make them eat more.

Learning some breakfast recipes will let you know what exactly you need to make in the morning.

16 Breakfast Recipes For Babies

These are some amazing breakfast ideas for your baby’s menu. Remember, breastmilk is the only food your baby must consume until the age of six months. Thereafter, you can introduce solid foods that can make great breakfast foods for babies. Many of these recipes use formula or breast milk. You can use expressed breast milk in the place of formula milk, or simply add water (as you will subsequently read in the recipes). All these breakfast recipes are for babies between six and 12 months of age. This is the age when the baby develops a taste for solid food. Therefore, these recipes can actually be baby-led weaning breakfast ideas.

1. Multi-vegetable puree

Vegetables can offer various essential nutrients for the baby’s proper growth and development, including potassium, folate, fiber, and vitamins (4). Therefore, this simple and classic breakfast for babies is quite popular as the first breakfast for the baby.

You will need:

• Vegetables of your choice such as potatoes, peas, carrots, etc.
• Water

How to:

1. Start by choosing a mix of vegetables that you would normally give your baby. Cook the vegetables in a pressure cooker or steam or bake until they are soft and tender.
2. Transfer the vegetable and the stock to a blender and blend them till they reach a thin consistency. Vegetable stock contains a lot of vital nutrients so never drain it away.
3. Add some boiled water, breast milk or formula to further thin the consistency of the puree if required. Once done, let the mixture cool down and feed it to your little one.

2. Fruit puree

This is the fruit equivalent of the vegetable puree that has all the goodness of fresh fruits. Just as vegetables, fruits can also provide several essential nutrients to the baby for their proper growth and development (4).

You will need:

• Fruits of your choice such as apples, mangoes, bananas
• Water

How to:

1. Fruit puree for babies is a healthy and nutritious breakfast choice. Start by peeling and pureeing the fruits of your choice. You can do this by putting the fruits in a blender.
2. Add water to thin the mixture if required. Once done you can serve the puree as a breakfast food to your baby.

3. Banana and rice porridge

Porridge is healthy for adults but also makes an amazing breakfast for babies. A conventional porridge is made using milk, but since we are preparing it for babies, you can opt out of it or use formula or expressed milk instead.

We use rice here since, unlike wheat, it is gluten-free. Therefore, you need not worry about allergies. It is also easy to digest and contains lots of carbohydrates, and other nutrients. It is for this reason, rice flakes can make a great breakfast cereal for babies. According to experts, rice cereals are a great source of carbohydrates, which provide energy for growth and development. Moreover, they also provide other nutrients such as protein, minerals such as iron and calcium, and vitamins B and E (5). Similarly, bananas are easy-to-digest fruits, rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, essential for babies’ growth (6).

You will need:

• 1 cup rice or rice flakes
• 1 cup chopped banana
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup formula or expressed milk (optional)

How to:

1. Start by cooking the rice or rice flakes by boiling them in a cooking pot till they are soft and mashy without any presence of solid grains.
2. Once the rice is cooked, add some chopped bananas and formula or expressed milk (optional) in the same cooking pot and cook them together for two to three minutes. Keep stirring the mixture so that the banana and rice mix well. In case you would like to dilute the porridge, add some water and cook for an additional three to four minutes.
3. Once done, let the porridge cool before feeding. This makes a highly nutritious breakfast for your baby.

4. Oatmeal Banana Porridge

This is similar to the previous porridge recipe with the replacement of rice with oatmeal. Oatmeals are usually flat, but you can coarsely grind them again using a hand pounder or a blender with a blunt blade. This is to ensure that there are no fine bits of oats when the porridge is ready and that the oatmeal cooks thoroughly. The USDA data suggests that each cup or 100g of oats contains about 13.3g of protein, 66.7g of carbohydrates, and are also rich sources of macronutrients like potassium and calcium (7).

You will need:

• 2 cups ground oatmeal
• 1 cup chopped banana
• 3 cups of water
• 1 cup formula milk (optional)

How to:

1. Add the ground oatmeal to the water and boil the mixture together. Cook the oats till they are absolutely soft and are easy to mash.
2. Once the oats are cooked, add bananas and the optional formula milk to the cooking pot and cook the mixture for two to three minutes while stirring it all together. Add water and cook for an additional three to four minutes in case you need to dilute the porridge.
3. Your oatmeal banana porridge is ready. Serve this healthy breakfast to your little one once it is cold enough to feed him.

5. Rice flour and vegetable porridge

You can make porridge using rice flour instead of rice grains or rice flakes. Each cup of unenriched white rice flour can provide about 79.8g of carbohydrate, 6.94g of protein, 16µg of folate, and more (8). In this porridge recipe, you can use vegetables in place of fruits to give this healthy breakfast for babies a unique flavor.

You will need:

• 2 cups rice flour
• 1 cup chopped carrots and peas
• 3 cups water

How to:

1. Mix the rice flour and water in a cooking pot. Cook the mixture for five to seven minutes, stirring continuously to prevent the formation of lumps. Keep cooking till the rice flour completely mixes with the water and becomes soft. Once you reach this stage simmer the flame and let the mix cook slowly.
2. In a separate vessel boil some peas and carrots till they are soft. Once done, blend them together using the vegetable stock as thinner.
3. Add this vegetable puree to the rice flour and water mixture. Continue boiling the mixture till they mix well. The porridge is done. Cool it well before feeding it to your baby.

6. Mango and rice porridge

The natural sweetness of mango combined with the goodness of rice makes a healthy breakfast recipe for a baby. While rice provides enough carbohydrates for the baby, one cup of sliced mangoes offers 277mg of potassium, 60.1mg of vitamin C, 71µg of folate, and various other nutrients (9).

You will need:

• 1 cup sliced and diced mangoes
• 2 cups rice
• 3-4 cups of water
• 1 cup formula or expressed milk (optional)

How to:

1. Start by boiling the rice and water together to cook the rice. While the rice is boiling, blend some mangoes into a puree.
2. Once the rice water begins to boil, simmer the flame and let the rice cook for four to five minutes. Thereafter, add the mango puree and the optional formula or expressed milk to it. Cook them together for two to three minutes while stirring the mixture to make it homogenous.
3. After completion, serve the porridge to your baby once it is cooled.

7. Barley apple porridge

Barley makes a great food for babies, and you can use finely powdered barley flour to make some breakfast porridge for your baby. In fact, each cup or 100g of barley flour can provide your baby with 77.4g carbohydrate, 12.8g total dietary fiber, 8.72g protein, 36mg calcium, 88mg magnesium, 234g phosphorus, 367mg potassium, and more nutrients (10).

You will need:

• 1 cup barley flour
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup mashed apple
• 3tbsp formula or expressed milk (optional)

How to:

1. Mix the barley flour with water and cook them together in a cooking pot for seven to ten minutes. Barley takes a longer time to cook than rice so make sure the barley is cooked properly. Keep stirring the mixture to prevent the formation of any lumps. Once the barley is cooked simmer the flame and let the mixture cook slowly on a low flame.
2. Separately, cut an apple into small pieces and then mash it into smaller pieces.
3. Add the mashed apple and the optional formula or expressed milk to the cooking pot and cook the mixture for five minutes. Stir and mix the porridge while cooking. Once done, let the porridge cool before serving it as a breakfast to your little one.

8. Lentil, carrot and pumpkin mash

Lentils are a healthy food option for your baby and when combined with vegetables, like pumpkin and carrot, which have natural sweetness, the flavor profile as well as the nutritional value of the preparation increases. One cup of red lentils contains 45.9g of protein, 121g of carbohydrate, 20.7g of dietary fiber, 92.2mg of calcium, 14.2mg of iron, and many many other nutrients (11). While one cup of diced pumpkin adds calcium (24.4g), potassium (394mg), and Vitamin C (10.4mg) to the recipe, one cup of chopped carrots mainly contributes to its vitamin C (7.55mg) and vitamin A (1070µg) content (12) (13). Thus, this recipe makes an ideal choice for a healthy breakfast for babies.

You will need:

• Peeled and diced pumpkin
• Red lentils
• Diced carrot
• Water

How to:

1. Boil the pumpkin and carrot together while cooking the lentils separately till they are completely soft.

3. Transfer the mashed vegetables into the cooked lentil vessel and cook them together for three to five minutes.
4. Let the mash cool before serving it as a breakfast to your little one.

9. Mashed oatmeal and bananas

Both oatmeal and bananas are easily digestible foods and offer several nutrients to the baby. Thus, offering mashed oatmeal and bananas can give your baby an amazing start to the day.

You will need:

• 2 cups oatmeal
• 1 cup mashed bananas
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup formula or expressed milk (optional)

How to:

Charity Curley Mathews, a mother of two and a blogger, shares tips on how to use bananas for baby food. She writes, “For beginners, add enough water so the puree easily pours off the spoon but know this: very ripe bananas are good for slowing things down in the diaper department. If your baby seems constipated, try an underripe banana (i).”

10. Meat-vegetable puree

The age between eight and 12 months is the time when you will introduce your baby to foods such as meat and eggs. Meat is healthy and is mainly composed of nutrients such as high-value proteins, fats (omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids), zinc, iron, selenium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, vitamin A, B-complex vitamins, and folic acid (14). Thus, meat and vegetables together can make a great breakfast food for your baby. Depending on the choice of meat, whether cattle, poultry, fish, or egg, the nutritional value may differ.

Ways To Adapt Recipes For Baby’s Unique Needs

Here are some practical tips to modify the breakfast foods for babies based on their dietary preferences, nutritional needs, and medical conditions. 

• Lactose intolerance and Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA): 

According to the AAP, babies at one year of age should have at least 2 servings of dairy per day. Therefore, if your baby is lactose intolerant or has a milk allergy, replace dairy in recipes with lactose-free dairy products such as lactose-free milk, cheese, and yogurts. Alternatively, you can use soy, almond, rice, hemp, and oat milk to prepare breakfast for babies with lactose intolerance. Other sources of lactose-free calcium and vitamin D foods are oranges, fruit juices, and leafy vegetables (24) (25).

• Gluten sensitivity or Celiac disease:

In such cases, you can replace wheat flour and other wheat-based products with gluten-free grains, such as millet and quinoa flour. You can also opt for gluten-free oats for your baby with gluten sensitivity (26).

• Nut allergy:

For babies with nut allergies, replace nut-based ingredients like peanut butter, almond flour, or milk with safer alternatives, such as seed butter and tree nuts. 

However, AAP recommends introducing potential allergenic ingredients, like peanut butter, to the baby as early as possible to help prevent these allergies. Dr. Scott Sicherer, MD, FAAP, a co-author at the AAP, says, “There is no reason to delay giving your baby foods considered allergens such as peanut products, eggs or fish. These foods can be added to the diet early, just like foods that are not common allergens, like rice, fruits or vegetables (27).”

• Texture:

Give pureed and mashed foods at first when your baby starts eating solids, and then, progress to soft and small pieces of food. Introduce one single ingredient at a time to monitor your baby for any allergenic reactions (28). In an observational study in France, it is found that parents generally introduce babies to semi-liquid (pureed) foods at 5.5 months on average, mashed foods at 9.1 months, small soft pieces of food at 11.4 months, and hard pieces at 14.4 months (29).

• Picky eater:

If your baby is a picky eater, make kid-friendly visually appealing foods. Add naturally sweet vegetables and fruits, and provide them with a variety of nutritious food options to choose from. Also, keep the portion small and age-appropriate, and most importantly, be patient and try again if your baby refuses to eat certain food the first time (30).

• Vegan families

If you are a vegan or a vegetarian, you can substitute eggs and meats with legumes, beans, fortified plant-based milks, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, avocado, coconut cream, tofu, nut butter, and other plant-based ingredients.

Quick Tips For Busy Parents

Preparing nutritious meals for your baby doesn’t have to be time-consuming. Here are some tips to help save time while ensuring to make healthy breakfast foods for babies.

• Freeze breakfast portions: Make and freeze baby-friendly foods in small portions so you can quickly thaw or reheat them when needed. Remember, frozen baby food can only be thawed or heated once.
• Use pre-cut ingredients: Keep pre-cut fruits, vegetables, and grains handy to organize a quick meal easily.
• Prepare overnight: Set up easy breakfast options, such as overnight oats, the night before to save time in the morning.
