11 Simple And Delicious Breakfast Recipes That Only Need 4 Ingredients Max
Good food with minimal ingredients and effort - who doesn't want that?
By Terri Kue -
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and we think it should be the easiest and most fuss-free one to make. Of course, this is while keeping it delicious at the same time. Thankfully for us, three to four-ingredients breakfast recipes are all over the internet. Some even look and taste good enough that we wish it was always breakfast time.
So if you are looking for simple but tasty breakfast recipes to make for yourself or the family, keep reading for 11 that will make mornings so much better.
Breakfast skillets are convenient to cook because everything goes into one pan, and this one looks absolutely delicious. All you need for this recipe are ground beef (or any ground meat of your choice), salsa sauce, and eggs. You can add spring onion for some extra flavour (we know we certainly will!).

For those who are keeping watch on their calorie intake, we got you. This low-carb breakfast muffin makes use of eggs, crumbled bacon (we recommend regular bacon bits from the supermarket!), and green onion.

When we first saw this Tiktok, our stomachs started rumbling and we knew we had to try this recipe out. This Korean street food consists of potatoes, rice flour, sugar, and cheese. If you don't have rice flour, a kind commenter said that her friend used normal flour and it worked out great for her.

These may not be McDonald's widely-loved hashbrown, but these are simple to make and look equally as yummy. This recipe requires potato, cornflour, salt, and pepper. The most important step of this recipe is to make sure to squeeze the water out of the potato so that you can have perfectly crisp hashbrowns to sink your teeth into.

Smoothie bowls are a breakfast staple for many of us, so we had to include one in this list. This smoothie is made of frozen strawberry, almond milk, chia seeds for some healthy fats, and 0 per cent fat plain greek yoghurt. Of course, if you aren't about almond milk or the no-fat yoghurt lifestyle, you can just replace these ingredients with what you actually have on hand.

A classic North African and Middle Eastern dish, Shakshuka is mainly eaten during breakfast, and we've found the easiest recipe for it. All you need are some tomatoes, garlic, chilli, eggs, and the excitement of the man in the Tiktok video. Similar to a breakfast skillet, everything in this meal is cooked in one pan. Have some bread ready to eat with your Shakshuka and you will have yourself a hearty brekkie.

These chewy oatmeal cookies are easy to make and you only need three ingredients: bananas, quick oats, and chocolate chips! All you have to do are mix the ingredients and bake them for 15 minutes, it doesn't get any easier than that. Note: you definitely cannot skip out on the bananas, they are what holds the cookie together.

Are you bored of the normal vanilla crepes? All you need for this recipe are flour, egg, cocoa powder, and milk to create chocolatey crepe goodness. If you don't have a blender, whisking everything together with a whisk should do the trick.

We know you've been waiting for this one. This pancake only needs three ingredients and does not contain bananas like many other little-ingredients pancake recipes. Mix together eggs, milk, and self-raising flour for a good base. We recommend adding half a teaspoon to a tablespoon of vanilla essence if you have it on hand to give your mixture more flavour.

This is a Starbucks-inspired egg bite recipe that uses eggs, salt, grated Gruyère cheese (or any cheese you want), and ricotta. The ricotta is the secret ingredient in this dish that makes it creamy and gives it a nice texture. You can make a big batch and store it in the freezer for two months so that whenever you crave it, you can pop it into the oven without all the prep work.

This recipe is somewhat similar to the egg bites, but also quite different. You will need eggs, egg whites your favourite cheese, and diced vegetable(s) of your choice. Mix it over a fire before baking it in an oven for 25 minutes. It makes four servings, so it is a great choice if you are feeding the family. If not, you can reheat it the next day (good for meal prepping!).
