Whichever of these Valentine’s Day breakfast ideas you decide on, the Strawberry Hot Chocolate is a MUST! It’s deliciously rich with fresh strawberry flavor and beautiful pink color that’s a treat for the eyes and your tastebuds.
But I’m getting ahead of myself, keep scrolling to get the full list of breakfast recipes, and whether you make one or two, I can guarantee a special Valentine’s breakfast will be a fun new holiday tradition.
Homemade Strawberry Syrup
You can quickly make tangy and sweet strawberry syrup on the stove-top with fresh or frozen strawberries. It tastes just like the syrup from IHOP but is made with fresh, better ingredients. Serve with my classic fluffy pancakes.
Strawberry White Hot Chocolate
This hot cocoa is the perfect start to Valentine’s Day. You can make the homemade strawberry puree the night before, then combine it with white chocolate and your choice of milk in the morning. It creates a delicious pink drink you can top off with whipped cream.
Double Chocolate Pancakes
These pancakes get a double dose of chocolate with cocoa powder and chocolate chips! Top them with whipped cream and diced strawberries, raspberries, or pomegranate seeds.
Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls
If you love extra fluffy and thick cinnamon rolls, then this is the recipe for you! Make the dough the day before, then slice and bake the rolls the next morning. The aroma of brown sugar and cinnamon will wake up the entire house.
White Chocolate Raspberry Scones
The combination of white chocolate and raspberries in my perfect scone recipe makes this breakfast fitting to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Enjoy one from home or take them with you on the go.
Strawberry French Toast Roll-Ups
The cinnamon-sugar coating gives these french toast roll-ups a crispy exterior, with berries and cream in the center. It’s an epic french toast variation your entire family will love.
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Nothing says “I love you” like perfect fluffy pancakes laced with cinnamon and topped with a dreamy cream cheese icing glaze! It’s like cinnamon roll and pancake in one bite.
Double Chocolate Banana Bread
Super chocolatey and moist banana bread with melted chocolate chips in every bite is certainly a treat for breakfast but well worth it!
Strawberry Muffins
This recipe uses yogurt to create a fluffy, moist strawberry muffin. If you want to make them a little more special for Valentine’s Day, stir in ½ cup white chocolate chips.
Strawberry Protein Oats
It’s a beautiful thing when a healthy breakfast tastes like dessert. Thanks to vanilla protein powder, these stove-top oats taste like a treat topped with almond butter, strawberries, and Greek yogurt. It’s a nutrient-dense way to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Around here, I share a ton of healthy meal and breakfast recipes, but it’s just as beneficial to enjoy your favorite foods and treats now and then. These Valentine’s Day breakfast ideas are a yummy and fun way to celebrate the occasion with your family, whether it falls on a weekday or weekend.
