15 Best New Breakfast Recipes of 2020

Dunked in a mixture of eggs, milk, cream, sugar, lemon zest, and almond extract, this rich French toast tastes even better with fresh strawberries and strawberry syrup on top.

Why choose between French toast and cinnamon rolls when you can have both? And why make cinnamon rolls from scratch when you can pop open a can? We're not above it.

Pile leftover tortilla chips into your cast iron skillet before cracking eggs over them, followed by black beans and salsa to make Mexican-inspired chilaquiles from Chef Matthew Francis. Top the dish with queso fresco, red onion, avocado, and cilantro for flavor and eye-catching color.

"You're in for a huge treat with this blueberry studded baked pancake — it's rich and satisfying but surprisingly light tasting," Chef John says. "The true magic of a Dutch baby is the contrast of texture between the crispy, crusty outside and the soft, custardy, fruity center. This version is not only gorgeous and delicious, but it's fun and simple to make!"

Wrap bacon around balls of egg-soaked bread and Cheddar cheese before frying them for the year's most mouthwatering grab-and-go breakfast.

Chef John whipped up several versions of almond flour flapjacks before perfecting this recipe. Even if you're not a gluten-free eater, you'll crave the nutty taste of Almond Meal Pancakes.

Chef John's third (!) pancake recipe to make the list, this take combines the heavenly aroma and flavor of banana bread with the texture of a pancake.

A low-carb favorite, chaffles call on eggs and cheese to make savory, satisfying waffles. "Adding almond flour gives them a more traditional waffle texture and helps get rid of any eggy taste," Allrecipes Allstar lutzflcat says. "Seriously, try them, they're delicious!"

Refrigerated dough to the rescue, once again. "With only four ingredients, these biscuits are so tasty that you could serve them for dessert," Allstar Yoly says. 

"I'm always on the lookout for easy and delicious things to make for breakfast that are, on the one hand, relatively healthy and good for you, while on the other hand, not too good for you," Chef John says. "I think these really do fit the bill. These are normally made with strawberry preserves, but here we're using fresh strawberries for a little lighter and lower-sugar approach."

And we're back to chaffles! This two-ingredient recipe (also from Allstar lutzflcat) holds a five-star rating, so the reward of trying it totally outweighs the risk of not liking it. But really, what's not to like about eggs and mozzarella? 

We like the sound of a Lazy Weekend Breakfast Casserole, not to mention its super quick prep time. And if you keep ingredients like eggs, Cheddar, cottage cheese, and butter in the fridge, you can sleep in and still have time to enjoy this best-rated recipe for breakfast.

If you like to prep your breakfasts ahead of time, nothing beats an easy, versatile egg muffin. Just pop one in the microwave before you rush off to work (or to the desk in the next room).

Admit it: 2020 has given you more than one excuse to eat cake for breakfast. Enjoy a piece of our cinnamon-y, buttery Blueberry Breakfast Crumb Cake with a cup of coffee. 

No need for eggs, baking soda, baking powder, or buttermilk to make these delightfully crispy waffles. This recipe from Allstar thedailygourmet lets other staple ingredients shine: all-purpose flour, white sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
