Granola is one of my favourite easy breakfasts and this version in particular is absolutely divine. The smells which come out of the oven when this is cooking are to die for. It’s so easy to make and makes lots of portions so it’s the perfect thing to rustle up to be prepared for the week ahead.
When you want to be good but fancy a breakfast treat, these cookies are just the thing to whip up. Quick and easy to make, they make a lovely breakfast to have on the go, to make in advance for the week or to have with a cuppa as a snack later in the day. The texture of these cookies is delightful, rather than having a hard, biscuit snap, they are soft and gooey and can be pulled apart to be eaten.
Nothing says autumn to me like the smell of cinnamon coming from the kitchen. Paired with juicy baked fruit, it’s the most delightful combination. This simple recipe is a lovely breakfast option as we start to head into the darker mornings and nights, it’s warming, tasty and oh so satisfying. I often make a bigger batch of the peaches at the start of the week so I’ve can reheat them for breakfast for a few days but you can equally use any left overs for a low SP pudding, served with some low calorie ice cream.
You’ll find a number of different baked oats recipes on my site cos I can’t lie, I love them! They are such a lovely warming and filling breakfast that feel like a real treat for such a low number of points. This little number came about when I was trying to make some space in my cupboards and I needed to use up the last of a giant tub of PB2. Some frozen raspberries already stashed in the freezer meant this could be whipped up with store cupboard and freezer bits really easily. A great option if it’s getting close to big shop day and you don’t have much fresh left in the fridge! I’ve made my ‘jam’ with raspberries here but it would also be lovely with strawberries. Just make sure you use the same quantities, chop them into quarters, mash down once warmed and add the chia seeds to thicken. Lovely!
We aren’t putting up our Christmas tree until a little later this year (as we are getting a real one again and I got it a bit too early last year….I was just too excited and it ended up dropping lots straight after the big day!) and so I’ve decided that in the meantime, I’ll do everything else to get into the festive spirit before then. After discovering the most amazing Mince Pie Filled Cookies in Asda this week, I decided to come up with my own version of a sweet mince meat treat and this recipe was the perfect solution. It so quick and easy to rustle up and feels like a real breakfast treat!
You will see that I’ve calculated the SP’s for each of the new plans below which I will do for all of my recipes moving forwards. Eventually I hope to be able to repoint all of my previous recipes too but this may take a little time so you may need to pop them back through your own recipe builder if you are on the green or purple plan now (all of the previous recipes are pointed for the old plan which is now the blue plan).
Coming back into the colder mornings, one of my favourite warming autumn breakfasts is baked oats. Easy to prepare in advance or on the day, they are a lovely filling breakfast which feel like a real treat at the same time.
Having had a craving for apple pie recently, I decided to combine the two dishes together to come up with something that would fill me until lunch but would satisfy my need for something sweet and fruity.
One thing I’m asked for a lot is a banana free version of the flourless pancakes that are popular with us WWers so when I woke up the other morning with a craving for some drop scones (or scotch pancakes as many call them), I set about creating myself some banana free, WW friendly ones (albeit these ones do have flour in them!!). The result was lovely, tasting very close to the real thing for many less points!
One of my favourite, go to, quick and easy breakfasts is this delicious berry compote served with fat free Greek yoghurt (my favourite is Total 0% Fat Greek Yogurt as it’s lovely and thick) and a sprinkling of either Weight Watchers Strawberry granola (available in classes or in the online shop) or my current favourite, Grape nut (I get mine in Sainsbury’s) with a little honey. It is such a simple recipe and for the grand total of 0sp, really livens up breakfast time.
After I made my delicious Foil Baked Cod with Romesco Sauce and Greens recipe, I had a couple of portions of Romesco sauce left over. Whilst I could have used it the next night with chicken or steak, I thought instead I would try and incorporate it into a nice and simple breakfast recipe. This is just that. Low in carbs and points but packed with flavour, this breakfast can be a weekend treat or, since it is so quick to pull together, a weekday option too.
I’m a big fan of porridge but, after I’ve had it a few days in a row, I get a little bored of the same thing. After thinking of new ways to jazz up my other baked oats recipe I thought, what better way to do that than to add chocolate!! The result was delicious. Chocolaty and so indulgent tasting and all for 6sp!!
