Here at Fuss Free Flavours we are huge fans of the first meal of the day – I run a monthly breakfast event where I challenge bloggers to create a breakfast to a theme and to link up.
I find that if I start the day with a good breakfast I concentrate better, am far more productive and generally have a far better day.
The folks at Yakult also love a good breakfast and they have recently launched the Brighter Breakfast, packed full of delicious and inspiring breakfast recipes, suitable for weekdays and more relaxed weekends, as well as a fun breakfast selector. It is well worth a look and they have some fab breakfast related prizes to be won too.
Two of their recipes that caught my eye are below:

Pancakes with ricotta, honey and figs
American style fluffy pancakes are always a welcome treat, but rather than cover them in syrup and butter, why not try our idea of using figs and ricotta. Healthier, and quite possibly even more tasty.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 135 g Plain flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Caster sugar
- 130 ml Milk
- 1 Large egg
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 Figs
- 200 g Ricotta
- 2 tbsp Honey
Instructions
- Put the baking powder, flour, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl.
- In a jug, lightly whisk together the milk and egg, then whisk in the melted butter.
- Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and beat until you have a nice smooth batter, then let it stand for a few minutes.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of butter.
- When it's melted, add a ladle of batter. It should be nice and thick – when it’s cooked it will be light and airy.
- Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble, then turn it over and cook until both sides are golden brown and the pancake has risen to about 1cm thick.
- Repeat until all the batter is used up.
- Keep the cooked pancakes in a warm oven while you are cooking the rest.
- Serve stacked up with ricotta and figs between each pancake, and then drizzle the stack with honey.

Those eggs look gorgeous!
Helen
I often have fried eggs with chilli for breakfast. So simple and so delicious!
Gill Bland
I really struggle to eat savoury food at breakfast unless it’s toast and marmite. Those eggs, as you say, look like they’d be a good kick start to the tastebuds for the day but I have to admit that I’m more drawn to the pancakes!
Helen
I had the eggs this morning, the ginger was a revelation.
Beth Young
This sounds amazing! I could quite happily eat the whole lot right now!
Ursula Hunt
Looks very colourful
Deena Kakaya
Hi Helen, I think this one is for me! I love the look of those eggs…simple and wonderfully paired ingredients. I look forward to trying this one out xx
Yasmine Kirkwood
I do like a decent breakfast, particularly at the weekend when I have the time. My mouth is watering just looking at those pancakes, they sound amazing.
Laura Benton
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and these two recipes are just some of the reasons why. I wouldn’t know which to make first, they both look delicious.
