Breakfast Boats - 10pp

One of the best breakfasts I have had in a looooooong time. A few more points than I would usually spend in a morning but I only tend to have "brunch" at a weekend so I need something more substantial. Reminds me of a McDonalds breakfast wrap. Mmm....


  

Serves 1
Ingredients
1 x medium egg - 2pp
2 x WW sausage (cut into small pieces) - 3pp
2 x bacon medallions (cut into small pieces) - 1pp
2 x Old El Paso Stand N' Stuff tortillas - 4pp
15g ketchup - 0pp
1 x tin plum tomatoes - 0pp
Mushrooms (sliced)
1/2 brown onion (chopped)
Spinach
Cherry tomatoes (quartered)
Fry light

Method
Spray a frying pan with Fry Light, set to medium heat.
Fry sausage for a few minutes until browning.
Add bacon and cook for another couple of minutes.
Add mushrooms, tomatoes and onion and cook until soft.
Add spinach.
In a cup, mix your egg and sprinkle in salt and pepper.
Once the spinach has wilted, add egg to the pan and stir for around 5 minutes until the egg has coated all the ingredients and it turns into some kind of scramble.
Spoon into tortillas and squirt over some ketchup. 
Heat plum tomatoes in a microwave for around 2 minutes.

Done!

Chocolate Porridge - 4pp

I had completely forgotten about chocolate porridge! I ate this every morning for breakfast during Winter. It's tasty and chocolately and I find the best way to describe it as "dessert for breakfast".




Ingredients
35g porridge oats (I just use Tesco's own)
11g/ sachet Options or Highlights hot chocolate
200-250ml water (I don't like mine too thick and gloopy)
1tsp sweetener (Sweetness n Light by Silver Spoon is my fave)
Strawberries
Banana

Method
In a bowl, pour cold water over your porridge oats (I found if I used hot water it cooked faster but the oats were still a bit hard) and heat in a microwave for around 2 minutes. When it has thickened slightly, stir in your hot chocolate and heat again for around 1 minute (please keep an eye on it. I have had more exploing porridge incidents than I care to mention). Top with chopped banana and strawberries, sprinkle with sugar and eat!

Chocolate Banana Pancakes - 4pp

One of my favourite weekend breakfasts ever (when I can be bothered to make it). The most simple pancakes you will ever meet.  




Pancake Ingredients:
1 banana - 0pp
11g/ 1 sachet cadbury highlights - 1pp
1 medium egg - 2pp
1tsp sweetener - 0pp
1tsp baking powder - 0pp
Fry light - 0pp

Toppings:

100g 0% fat Greek yoghurt - 1pp
Strawberries
Blueberries
Banana
Raspberries
Or choose whatever you like!

Method:

Blend all pancake ingredients until smooth. Cook in a frying pan sprayed with fry light until set. I put on quite a low heat as I find they burn easy and I usually cook 3 small pancakes at a time. I like the illusion of having loads of pancakes when I stack them up :) Then top them with whatever you like. As easy as that!

For even less points you could have banana and cinnamon pancakes and miss out the chocolate powder. To bulk them out more you could a
dd oats. The possibilities are endless!
