With Easter quickly approaching we have seen some cute breakfast recipes floating around that we wanted to share with you. Prepare meals the night before or the morning of Easter in preparation for a magical Easter egg hunt.
We bring you 3 Easter breakfast ideas your kids will absolutely devour!
Hatching Devilled Eggs
Add a creative twist to eggs that kids will be amazed by.
Yields 6
Ingredients:
- 6 boiled eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 12 black peppercorns
Method:
- Lay an egg on its side, and cut a small slice off the bottom (flatter) end. This is the base of the chick. Then cut about 1/2 – 3/4 inch off the top (pointy) end. This end piece is going to be the top of your chick.
- Scoop all the yolks out of the eggs (don’t forget the tops too), and mix them with the mayonnaise, mustard and salt. Put this filling into a plastic bag with a corner end snipped off, and pipe it into your eggs. Make sure the filling is about an inch taller than the top of the egg white so you will have plenty of room to make a face.
- Place a top slice of egg white on each chick.
- Use a knife to slice your julienned carrot into pieces 1/2 inch long. Place 2 peppercorns and a piece of carrot into the yolk of each egg to make the face. You may find it easier to use tweezers for these tiny pieces.
- Arrange the eggs on your serving tray, then add feet by slipping the remaining slices of carrot under their bodies. Again, tweezers can help with this step. Place 3 pieces together on each side to make the feet.
- Serve cold. Best served within 2 hours.

Bunny Pancakes
Pancakes have never looked better than this adorable Bunny shaped pancake.
Yields 4 to 6 servings
Time 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2cups all-purpose flour
- 2teaspoons baking powder
- ¼teaspoon salt
- 1tablespoon sugar, optional
- 2eggs
- 1 ½ to 2cups milk
- 2tablespoons melted and cooled butter (optional), plus unmelted butter for cooking, or use neutral oil
- Banana
- Whipped Cream
- Chocolate chips
Method:
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Beat eggs into 1 1/2 cups milk, then stir in 2 tablespoons melted cooled butter, if using it. Gently stir this mixture into dry ingredients, mixing only enough to moisten flour; don’t worry about a few lumps. If batter seems thick, add a little more milk.
- Place a teaspoon or 2 of butter or oil on griddle or skillet. When butter foam subsides or oil shimmers, ladle batter onto griddle or skillet, making pancakes of any size you like. Adjust heat as necessary; usually, first batch will require higher heat than subsequent batches. Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after 2 to 4 minutes. For the rabbit make one large pancake for the body, small circle for the head, two large ovals for legs and two long and thin ovals for ears.
- Cook until second side is lightly browned. Arrange how you wish and decorate.

Easter Egg Popsicles
A healthy breakfast treat for the kids to have a rest from chocolate.
Ingredients:
- 500 g Yogurt
- handful granola
- handful blueberries
- handful raspberries
- Egg shaped silicone mould or muffin cups
- lollipop or cake pop sticks
Method:
- Place a small dollop of yoghurt into each egg in your silicone mould, filling each egg to about a third. Push chunks of granola into the yoghurt, then add a few raspberries and blueberries to each egg too.
- Place a lolly stick into each compartment, laying it down as flat as possible.
- Fill each egg to the top with yoghurt, making sure it covers all of the fruit and the lolly stick.
- Place mould in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight, until the eggs are frozen through and solid. Once frozen, pop out of the moulds, leave the popsicles on a plate at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften a little then serve immediately
- Store any extra popsicles in an airtight container or bag in the freezer until ready to eat.
Recipe Notes: I used three flavours of yoghurt, which gave these some really pretty colours, but you can use whatever flavour you prefer. For a really healthy treat, natural or Greek yoghurt is perfect because it doesn’t have any added sugar. Dairy free yoghurt alternatives such as soya yoghurt should also work for this recipe.
