From the Recipe Creator:
I’m a firm believer that rhubarb recipes cannot be too plentiful. Here, it is featured in the sauce for lovely lemon pancakes. These are yummy for brunch.— Marilyn Rodriguez, Spark, Nevada
After the first bite, you’ll wonder why ricotta isn’t a main ingredient in all pancake recipes. This cheese makes the pancakes extra soft and fluffy. They’re excellent paired with the bright lemon juice and lemon zest, and the rhubarb topping is the perfect finishing touch.
Sweet Breakfast Ideas FAQ
How can you have dessert for breakfast?
A sneaky way to enjoy dessert for breakfast is by making a recipe that’s a mash-up of a breakfast and a dessert. For example, our German chocolate ring fuses a German chocolate cake into breakfast bread. Our carrot cake pancakes really taste like you’re eating a piece of carrot cake for breakfast but in a socially acceptable breakfast form. Cinnamon rolls and cake donuts make it perfectly OK to have frosting for breakfast, and French toast is a great blank canvas for dessert fusion. A few recipes in this list combine it with iconic desserts like churros, s’mores and bananas Foster.
What are some of the sweetest breakfast recipes?
Some of the sweetest breakfast recipes include our “waffle cakes.” They’re waffles stacked on top of one another like cake layers and frosted with whipped cream or frosting. Any of our cinnamon roll recipes are super sweet since they’re finished with cream cheese frosting, but our red velvet cinnamon rolls take the cake. Bananas Foster French toast tops slices of brioche with bananas in a sticky butterscotch glaze. Similarly, a sticky bun recipe get coated in a gorgeous caramel sauce and nut topping.
Is it healthy to have a sweet breakfast?
Healthy means something different to everyone, so it’s hard to say whether sweet breakfasts are good for you or not. While we can probably all agree that red velvet cinnamon rolls aren’t very nutritious, something like a matcha chia pudding can be more debatable. If you’re looking for something more wholesome to start your day, try one of our healthy grab-and-go breakfast ideas or low-carb breakfast recipes instead.
