This cinnamon banana bread is perfect for a special breakfast, a delightful snack or even a thoughtful homemade gift. The streusel filling makes each slice satisfying, with a lovely texture contrast between the moist bread and the crunchy, flavorful filling. We call for white whole-wheat flour, which is milled from a lighter wheat that offers a milder flavor and lighter color than traditional whole-wheat flour. If you can’t find white whole-wheat flour, regular whole-wheat flour will work well in its place.
High-Protein Lemon-Blueberry Muffins

Peanut butter is the star ingredient in these oatmeal cakes, providing not only flavor, but a boost of plant-based protein too. Hiding a bit in the center of each muffin is a fun way to ensure that peanut butter makes it into every bite.
Creamy Strawberry Smoothie
It's hard to beat this recipe for quick and easy strawberry smoothies. All you need is five ingredients and five minutes. It's versatile too: you can use any unsweetened milk for creaminess, your preferred yogurt, and the maple syrup or honey is optional. The vanilla extract acts as a great flavor backdrop that will work with most fruits. Get blending!
Feta & Zucchini Muffins
Plenty of shredded zucchini keeps these savory muffins moist. Feta and dill lend them Greek-inspired flavor.
Peanut Butter Breakfast Bars
Apples and honey are the perfect additions for these satisfying breakfast bars.
Pistachio & Peach Toast
This breakfast is great when you have leftover ricotta cheese--plus it comes together in just 5 minutes.
Berry-Mint Kefir Smoothies
Kefir is similar to yogurt, full of gut-friendly probiotics. But it has fewer carbs and a more drinkable consistency—perfect for smoothies.
Morning Glory Muffins
These Morning Glory muffins are full of everything you'd expect in the bakery favorite—carrots, apple and raisins, topped with nuts and toasted wheat germ. If raisins aren't your favorite, substitute an equal amount of the dried fruit of your choice.
Whole-Wheat Strawberry Muffins
This healthy muffin recipe features strawberries, but you can use your favorite berry in their place and they'll be just as delicious!
Lemon Bread
This moist lemon bread is perfect for breakfast or a tasty dessert. It's delicious on its own or topped with the optional lemon-sugar glaze.
Coconut-Cashew Breakfast Bites
Never skip breakfast again: keep these coconut-and-date breakfast bites in the fridge or freezer, and you'll always have a grab-and-go option for busy mornings.
Almond-Honey Power Bar
Great for breakfast on the go! Golden roasted nuts, seeds and oats are enveloped by flavorful almond butter in these delectably chewy, no-fuss energy bars. Unrefined turbinado sugar adds a deep caramelly undertone. Feel free to use light brown sugar instead. Bars stored at room temperature will be softer than those that are refrigerated.
