16 Valentine’s Day breakfast ideas for kids!
1. Heart shaped waffles
First, an easy classic! Heart shaped waffles take no time at all and with the help of a mini heart shaped waffle maker. They can even prepped the night before! Make them as you normally word and store them in the freezer. In the morning, simply warm them up in the toaster like you would store bought waffles! Top with some whipped cream and sliced strawberries and bam!
2. Heart-y Bacon
Bacon shaped in hearts is a great side for any breakfast choice! Throw this together with any other recipe on here and its sure to be a hit!
3. Love muffins
These strawberry banana chocolate chip muffins look absolutely delicious! Definitely something you’ll want to prep ahead of time to have a quick and easy breakfast. Make sure you pick up a mini heart muffin pan before hand!
4. Valentine’s smoothie bowl
Smoothies are always a great easy and healthy breakfast option! A pink or red one is perfect for Valentine’s Day! A smart tip would be to add all the ingredients you’ll need (minus the milk) into a zip lock bag the night before. Then, you can just dump the ingredients into the blender in the morning. Simply top with some granola and maybe cute sprinkles for extra fun and you’re good to go!
5. Air fryer donuts
Every kid loves a good donut! If you have an air fryer, these donut would be a great option! Fear not, there’s no crazy long ingredients list, these donuts are actually made from canned biscuits!! The adorable pink frosting is made from only 5 ingredients that you probably already own. Top with some cute sprinkles and you’ve got some super stinkin’ cute donuts for your little valentine!
6. You make my heart POP-tart!
How adorable are these pop tarts? Another great recipe with minimal ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry! These look super fun to make, I’d probably even have my kids join in on making them the night before!
7. Lovely French toast
This is an adorable, simple twist on a breakfast classic. Make French toast is usual and simply cut out a heart with a cookie cutter. Fill the hole with some sweet strawberries and maybe even top with some whipped cream for a special treat!
8. Heart shaped avocado toast
What could be easier or healthier than some avocado toast?! This is a super cute and easy Valentine’s day breakfast idea with the help of a heart shaped cookie or sandwich cutter! Serve with a side of strawberries and eggs (maybe the heart shaped bacon?) for a fun and colorful breakfast.
9. Hash brown lovers
Why have I never thought of this!? So easy and fun! These would make a great addition to any of these other Valentine’s Day break ideas. So many adorable breakfast sides options!
10. Pink smoothie
Instead of a smoothie bowl, you always go for just a classic smoothie. Adding something like a fun heart shaped straw would be the perfect addition. Heck, even as an adult I still go crazy for some crazy straws haha!
11. Egg in a heart
Who else loved egg in a hole toast growing up?? This is a total two-for! Use the heart shaped cut out to spread on avocado on like we saw on one of the previous Valentine’s day breakfast ideas listed! If you have some extra time, add the heart shaped bacon for full on breakfast!
12. Lovely pancakes
I love, love, love this idea! For some reason, no matter what tool I use when I try to make heart shaped pancakes, its always a mess. This is so much easier and in my opinion, a lot cuter! The only thing I would do differently is make them pink and red.
*Pro-Tip: If you’ve ever tried to make colored pancakes or waffles and they turn out brown, here’s the secret! You need to cook them low and slow! I promise it works and they come out vibrant!
13. Pink yogurt parfait
This valentines day yogurt parfait looks way too adorable and would be extremely easy to throw together in the morning! Strawberry yogurt, graham crackers, fresh strawberries and some fun sprinkles is all you’ll need.
14. Heart-y egg muffins
If you don’t already make egg muffins, you need to! They’re such a great, healthy prep-ahead school breakfast idea! I love the idea of using a heart shaped silicone muffin mold.
15. Heart shaped cinnamon rolls
Cinnamon rolls are Friday morning staple in this house! They’re so easy to pop in the air fryer and have ready in 5 minutes flat! Taking two extra seconds to shape them into a heart wouldn’t be hard at all!
16. Valentine’s Day Cupid Arrows
Lastly, these adorable cupid arrow breakfast kabobs! Making kabobs are so easy and these are so dang cute. I think making a mini “make your own kabob” set up would be so special. Set up 3 separate bowls of blueberries, strawberries, clementines. Have a plate with heart shaped pancakes and skewers and let your kids go to town building their own cupids arrow!
