These baked strawberry-oatmeal bars combine sweet summer strawberries with nutty, fiber-rich oats for a perfect snack or breakfast on the go. Or enjoy them with a dollop of yogurt or vanilla ice cream for dessert. Old-fashioned rolled oats are preferable here, as they absorb just the right amount of liquid while baking.

Protein in this carrot cake–inspired loaf comes from cashew butter and Greek-style yogurt, which also helps keep it moist and tender. Carrots, nuts and raisins provide texture and flavor, while applesauce adds a subtle sweetness. Use regular or golden raisins or any combination of small or chopped dried fruit. Pecans or even chopped hazelnuts can be used in place of the walnuts.

This impressive galette is packed with spinach, feta and sausage for the ultimate savory breakfast. To prevent the eggs from slipping, make sure to create wells in the bed of cooked veggies. We love set whites and a slightly runny egg yolk. Cook the galette a minute or two longer if you want your egg yolks set.
Peanut Butter-Banana French Toast Casserole

This French toast casserole is sweetened with banana and a touch of maple syrup. The drizzle on top adds nutty peanut butter flavor to every bite.

Crustless Caprese Quiche

This light and fluffy crustless quiche is dotted with tomatoes, little bites of melty mozzarella and savory pesto. And the best part—it’s mixed, assembled and baked in a pie plate for easy cleanup. Enjoy as an easy breakfast or brunch option or serve for lunch or dinner with a mixed green salad on the side.
Spinach, Feta & Artichoke Tater Tot Casserole

This baked oatmeal takes inspiration from tiramisu, with espresso-flavored oats and a creamy yogurt-based topping. Be sure to let the oats cool for at least 30 minutes before adding the yogurt layer to prevent it from melting off the top.
Bacon & Brussels Sprouts Quiche

This crustless quiche is perfect for brunch or dinner served with a green salad on the side. You can shred Brussels sprouts yourself with a sharp knife or look for pre-shredded sprouts with other prepared vegetables in your local grocery store. We love the smoky flavor of bacon, but pancetta is an easy substitute.
