Birthday Breakfast Ideas to Kick Off & Celebrate Your Child’s Birthday

Breakfast is my children’s favorite meal of the day and they’ll often ask for “breakfast dinner” whether that’s a stack of pancakes or a stuffed omelette. Breakfast food is delicious and if anyone wants to debate that cold-hard fact, they’re going to have to take it up with my three children.

What I love about making a special breakfast when it’s someone in our family’s birthday, is that it kicks off the day of celebrating them in a fun, and very yummy way!

We celebrate birthdays from sun-up until sun-down and have a long list of birthday traditions we do for each person’s birthday.

Despite the food coma or sugar rush that kids taking running leaps off the couch, I’m still a proponent of starting the day with an extra special birthday breakfast to kick off the big and very important day.

My kids usually ask for chocolate chip or blueberry pancakes, but for my twins’ birthday this year, I did some extra digging to find some new, and best of all, delicious birthday breakfast ideas everyone in your family will be asking seconds for.

After my research, I have a few new ideas for mixing up our birthday breakfast dishes this year and I’m excited to see their reactions when they see, and taste the yumminess I whip up for them.
