That’s why these family breakfast ideas are worth their weight in gold, they’re quick and easy to make, and even easier to enjoy. Plus, with a gloopendous drizzle of Lyle’s Golden Syrup, even the pickiest plates come back clean.

Some mornings run smoothly, others start with noisy toys and sibling squabbles. Either way, these easy family breakfast ideas are the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, giving you something tasty to start the day.

These Absolutely Golden pancakes are the kind of breakfast that gets requested on repeat.

If you’re bored of traditional French toast, this recipe is the perfect alternative. The caramelised flavour golden syrup pairs perfectly with the spiced sweetness of a hot cross bun.
