Quick High-Fiber Breakfast Recipes
Start your day with simple, comforting toasts and overnight bowls that boost fullness and support gentle digestion, following the Nutritional Pyramid 2026–2030 by favoring whole grains, fruits, seeds, and plant proteins.
These recipes are built for one or two servings and use pantry staples plus fresh produce so you can mix and match without a long shopping list.
Textures are easy on the mouth and stomach: soaked oats, mashed beans, soft fruit, and ground seeds. Cleanup is minimal—one bowl for overnight oats and one cutting board and spoon for toasts.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- For Savory Toast: whole-grain bread, canned white beans (rinsed), ripe avocado, olive oil, lemon juice, chia or ground flax, salt & pepper to taste
- For Overnight Bowl: rolled oats, milk or plant milk, plain yogurt or plant yogurt, chia seeds, soft banana or stewed fruit, walnuts or nut butter, cinnamon or vanilla
- Extras: sliced soft tomato or steamed spinach for toast, extra fruit or a warm mug of tea to serve alongside
You can serve these with a small side of stewed fruit, a soft-cooked egg, or a warm mug of tea if you like.
Step-by-Step Recipe
- Make the savory white-bean avocado toast: toast 1–2 slices of whole-grain bread lightly for a softer texture, mash rinsed white beans with a fork and stir in olive oil, lemon juice, and chia or ground flax if using.
- Mash half an avocado and fold into the bean mix, season with a small pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper if desired, then spread on the toast and top with sliced soft tomato or steamed spinach.
- Make the gentle overnight oat bowl: combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tbsp yogurt, and 1 tbsp chia seeds in a jar, add mashed banana or stewed fruit and a pinch of cinnamon, refrigerate at least 2–3 hours or overnight, then stir in chopped walnuts or a spoon of nut butter before serving.

Storage and Leftovers
Fridge
Overnight oats keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store bean-avocado spread in an airtight container and use within 24 hours, stirring before serving.
Freezer
Freezing is not recommended for avocado-based spreads because texture changes; oats can be frozen but may alter texture on thawing.
Reheating
Warm gently on the stove or in short bursts in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to loosen texture; keep nuts separate until serving to preserve softness.

FAQ
Can I make the overnight oats dairy-free?▶
Yes. Use any plant milk and a plant-based yogurt for creaminess; the oats and chia will still soften overnight.
How can I reduce gas from beans?▶
Rinse canned beans well, mash them to aid digestion, start with smaller portions, and try adding digestive-friendly herbs like parsley. Gradually increasing portions can also help.
