Breakfast Recipes

In this article, you will learn more about breakfast recipes.

What’s your ‘go to’ breakfast? Is it always the same or do you vary your breakfast throughout the week?

Often a grab and go meal, breakfast is not always given the focus it deserves. What you choose at this mealtime can influence your food choices throughout the day. We saw this in Week 1 when we learned about resistant starch and how it can regulate your appetite.

We’ve dived into our BBC Good Food recipe library and selected a range of breakfast recipes to help manage our appetite on busy days. They’re also time-savers because first thing in the morning very few of us have time to cook from scratch.

Soluble Fibre and Resistant Starch

Recipe inspiration: Berry Bircher

This make-ahead breakfast is perfect if you know you’re going to be in a rush first thing. We’ve made the most of the soluble fibre, beta-glucans found in the oats, to give substance to this bircher. To the oats we’ve added flaxseeds (also known as linseeds), the gel-forming soluble fibre in these little seeds helps bind all our ingredients together and lock in moisture.

Full on fibre: oat know-how
A serving of 35g of oats supplies 1.4g of beta-glucans; studies suggest you need approximately 3.6g of beta-glucans per day to reduce your risk of heart disease. Other oat-based products like oatcakes and oatmeal bread will help you get to this magic number.

Soluble Fibre and Pectin

Full on fibre: raspberry ripeness
Don’t worry if your raspberries are under-ripe – while riper berries will be sweeter they contain less pectin.

Here are more breakfast ideas that make the most of these amazing fibre-rich ingredients.
