21 Healthy Christmas Breakfast Ideas

There's no reason for Christmas morning to be stressful and these 21 Healthy Christmas Breakfast Ideas will help things go off without a hitch!

Healthy Christmas breakfast ideas are a “must” for making go as smoothly as possible. Christmas morning is always somewhat hectic around in house - in the best way possible! From opening stockings to the grandmothers dressing up as singing reindeer (an annual tradition for 19 years now!) to simply enjoy each other's company, the last thing I want to do is spend a ton of time in the kitchen.

This list of 21 healthy Christmas breakfast ideas is a goldmine when planning out your holiday breakfast. And many of the recipes have make-ahead components, which means you get to relax on Christmas morning!

I've put out a couple of round-ups recently that hopefully help with your holiday entertaining planning. Be sure to check out Healthy Cocktail Party Appetizers and 23 Healthy Dip for Entertaining.

I divided these Christmas morning breakfast recipes into four categories to make it easier for you to find what you need. Click on the link to hop to the desired section:

• eggs
• pancakes, waffles and French toast
• muffins and breads
• potatoes, oatmeal and granola (aka, the miscellaneous category)

Serve some of these alongside some Slow Cooker Chai Apple Cider for a cozy breakfast.

Happy planning, everyone!

If you make any of these recipes, I'd love to see them on Instagram! Just use the hashtag #COOKINCANUCK and I'll be sure to find your photos.
