Breakfast does not need a long recipe to feel a little different. Sometimes a change in texture or a finishing drizzle is enough to give a familiar meal a new place in your weekly routine.
Honey can be used in several straightforward ways at the breakfast table. The useful starting point is the food you already enjoy: toast, oats or pancakes. Choose one combination, start with a small amount and adjust it to your taste.
Here are three ideas to try.
Honey on toast
Toast is an easy place to begin because you can compare different combinations without changing the whole meal.
Spread your preferred nut butter on a slice of toast, add sliced banana and finish with a light drizzle of honey. Alternatively, try plain toast with a little butter and honey.
For a less sweet result, keep the toppings simple and add the honey last. You can always add more after tasting. If you use nut butter, check the ingredient label and choose a product suitable for anyone sharing the meal.
Honey with oats
Prepare your oats as you normally would, then spoon them into a bowl before adding the toppings.
A few pieces of chopped fruit, a spoonful of seeds and a little honey make an easy combination. Adding the honey at the end lets you taste the oats before deciding how much sweetness you want.
The same idea works when preparing an individual portion of overnight oats. Stir well so the sweetness is distributed through the bowl rather than concentrated in one spoonful.
Keep the recipe practical. A breakfast you can repeat using ingredients you already have is often more useful than one that needs several special purchases.
Honey over pancakes
If you already make pancakes at home, honey can be a finishing ingredient.
Arrange the pancakes on a plate, add fruit if you like and drizzle the honey just before serving. Put the jar on the table so each person can choose their own amount.
You do not need to change your pancake recipe to try this. Keeping the base recipe the same also makes it easier to decide whether you enjoy a particular honey with it.
Choose for the meal you actually make
When browsing honey online, think about how you plan to use it. Read the product description, ingredient information and pack size rather than choosing only from a photograph.

Honey adds sweetness, so choose the amount deliberately. Do not give honey to children under 12 months.
