Breakfast for the Week
To eat breakfast or not to eat breakfast, that is the question. Whether you are a breakfast person or not, the answer should be YES, eat breakfast!
I know that finding the energy to make a nutritious breakfast can be hard. We love making a pan of banana bread or breakfast cake when we know we’re going to have a busy week!
This triple berry breakfast bread is like a big berry pancake in a pan! HA. We love this bread because…
- All you need is a bowl and a pan to make this bread!
- This recipe is fool-proof! It is forgiving if you over mix, or need to make substitutions.
- It is easy to make at the beginning of the week and eat it all week long!
What Berries Are Best for Breakfast Bread?
This breakfast bread is sweetened by a little maple syrup and with BERRIES! We used blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries for our breakfast bread! However, feel free to use any of the berry options below!
- Blackberries
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Blueberries
- Cherries
- Any frozen berries would work, too!
Watch out for this–> Try your berries before you use them! Some berries may be really tart! If your berries are super tart, feel free to add a little extra maple syrup to balance out the sweet + tart!
Everything You Need to Know
Though this breakfast bread is super easy to make, here are a couple of questions you may have, ANSWERED!
Do I have to use an 8×8-inch pan for this bread?
We do recommend using an 8×8-inch pan for this bread! You could try a 9×9-inch or loaf pan, but the bake time would change so you would need to keep a very close eye on the bread!
What do I top breakfast bread with?
You can top your breakfast bread with anything you fancy! Here are a couple of great options!
- Nut butter (cashew, peanut butter, almond)
- Greek yogurt
- Coconut whip
- Fresh berries
- Granola
Can I substitute the berries with a different fruit?
If you don’t have berries, feel free to substitute chopped apples!
Can I freeze breakfast bread?
Yes, you can freeze breakfast bread! We recommend letting the bread cool completely before wrapping it in plastic wrap to seal out air and then tin foil!
The breakfast bread can last up to three months in the freezer.

This recipe is perfectly balanced. I have made many things similar to this in nature, and often times they come out heavy and stodgy at the bottom- but most likely because this recipe doesn’t use any oil, it’s hearty and filling, but also spongy, buoyant and delicious!
The only thing I might change next time is to add something more to sweeten it up, such as banana instead of apple sauce like the author suggested, or a sprinkling of sugar on top. Thanks so much for this recipe! My kids also liked it as is so that was a plus!
Wow, we’re blushing! Thanks so much for this review, Lauren <3
Great healthy breakfast. Whole family liked it. Was looking for a healthy way to use some too tart berries from the farmers market. Delicious with a little honey. Subbed in regular milk and cooked in an 8×10 pan – otherwise followed directions as shown.
Glad you guys loved this recipe!
I just made this and it was delicious!! I also love that it’s so healthy! I can’t wait to try some more of your recipes
This is an awesome idea–both my father and husband (who like light breakfasts) really like this. I made this with a number of changes: chopped loquats instead of berries, einkorn flour instead of white whole wheat, 2% milk instead of almond, and full fat Greek yogurt instead of nonfat. Because I used einkorn flour, I had to use a slightly heaping tbsp of baking powder instead of 1/2 tsp and reduced the applesauce to 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup. However, after all these small changes, I ended up with something very tasty that looked very similar to the pictures.
Thanks so much for sharing your modifications!
hit in our house! I must have done something wrong along the way because the middle did not cook at all. Oops! User error 🤣
This was delicious. I topped it with a cup of the Chobani less sugar Greek yogurt and some extra berries. Super satisfying breakfast.
Made this tonight and it was fantastic! What’s the best way to store it?
We suggest storing it in the fridge!
This recipe it’s amazing, really nice way to eat something different and healthy for breakfast!!
I made this today and it was delicious! I did make a few changes and used 1 cup regular flour and a 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and used a 9×9 pan. It only took 30 min to cook. So yummy!
Glad you loved it!
This breakfast was a real crowd pleaser! Easy, breezy to make and I’m all thumbs when it comes to baking. I subbed in pantry: all purpose white flour, gluten free rolled oats, used a thawed frozen banana, and frozen triple berry mix from Costco.
I’ll be making this again for sure!
YAY!! So glad the fam loved it <3
