This versatile Blueberry Breakfast Granola Crisp recipe can be served as a breakfast or a dessert! Sweet, tangy, crispy and delicious, I absolutely LOVED this low calorie dish as a healthy alternative for blueberry pie recipes. It’s SUPER easy to make, and doesn’t involve a lot of fancy ingredients, but man it’s good! Each serving has just a 4 Point Total, but if you are into using Splenda as a sugar substitute, swap out the sugar with 3-4 packets of Splenda and knock a Point off of each serving. You can also serve it with a scoop of Weight Watchers ice cream to jazz it up as a satisfying dessert. Though this isn’t an official one of Weight Watchers Breakfast Recipes, it’s a must have dish for any weight watcher who loves blueberry pie or fritters!

Blueberry Crisp Fritter Recipe

Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup low-fat, ready-to-eat granola cereal
- 10 oz unsweetened frozen blueberries
- 2 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp orange zest
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 tsp table salt

Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened – about 3 minutes. Turn off heat, stir in fresh blueberries, orange rind and salt, and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in toaster oven or dry skillet, toast granola until lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Delicious and satisfying, this healthy Spinach and Artichoke Quiche Recipe will have you love being a weight watcher! Packed with protein, calcium and vitamins, it’s an incredibly good for you, low calorie breakfast recipe. Though, you can really serve this for any meal. Each nicely sized serving is just a 2 Point Total, so even if you decide to indulge and have 2 servings, you won’t be going overboard on your Weight Watchers Points. My whole family loved this tasty, low calorie quiche recipe, and I loved the full feeling I had after eating it! If you are looking for healthy recipes that are weight watchers friendly, you’ve gotta give this Artichoke and Spinach Quiche a try!

Spinach and Artichoke Quiche Recipe

Ingredients:
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 13 3/4 oz canned artichoke hearts, without oil
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp dried tarragon
- 1 tsp parsley, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup unsweetened, regular Almond Breeze
- 1/2 cup egg substitute
- 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup low fat mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- non-fat cooking spray

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch pie plate with non-fat cooking spray. Boil 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Spray a medium skillet with non-fat cooking spray and put over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until spinach begins to wilt. Then, add artichoke hearts, tarragon and parsley. Saute for about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together Almond Breeze, egg substitute, egg whites, 1/2 cup of cheese, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Pour into prepared pie plate. Scatter garlic & onion mixture evenly over egg mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese and the parmesan cheese.
To bake quiche, create a water bath: Set a large sheet pan with sides on a flat surface. Place pie plate on sheet pan. Pour hot water around pie plate so it goes 1/2 inch up sides of pie plate (do not get water on quiche). Carefully lift sheet pan to prevent splattering water and place in oven. Bake in water bath until quiche is set in center, about 45 minutes.
To remove pie plate from water bath, slide 2 large spatulas under pie plate and remove pie plate from oven (make sure to wear oven mitts). Leave sheet pan in oven so water can cool before removing pan from oven.
Turn oven to broil. Broil quiche 3 inches from heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

When it comes to food, the French do everything right. And French Toast is no exception! However when the American’s decided to stuff this delicious, French breakfast recipe with cream cheese and call it “Stuffed French Toast”, they made a good food even better. A traditional overnight stuffed french toast recipe can be pretty dangerous to any weight watcher. But this low calorie version will knock your socks off! It’s easy, it’s delicious and it has just a 5 Point Total per serving. By using many of the standard ingredients of the traditional recipe, I just made a few alterations in order to lower the calories, fat grams and Point Total. Though my version is not an official one of Weight Watchers Breakfast Recipes, if you are a french toast fanatic who is trying to lose weight, you will be super psyched to give this low calorie breakfast recipe a try!

Stuffed French Toast Recipe

- 1 16 oz. loaf of French or Italian bread, cut into 20 slices
- 1 8oz package Fat Free Cream Cheese, cut into 1/4″ thick slices
- 3 cups egg substitute or egg whites
- 2 cups fat free milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 tbsp sugar free strawberry preserves
- 1 cup thinly sliced fresh strawberries
- 1/3 cup Sugar Free Maple Syrup
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray

Directions:
Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with a butter flavored non-fat cooking spray. Layer 10 slices of bread in the bottom of the baking dish (You may need to trim to fit). Lightly spray the bread with an even coat of the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray. Then, top the bread with cream cheese slices, spaced out evenly. Spread the strawberry preserves evenly over the cream cheese slices. Then layer on the fresh strawberry slices. Finally, place the remaining bread slices on top.
In a large bowl, wish together the egg substitute, milk, vanilla, syrup and cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour over the bread to evenly coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Remove from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes while the oven preheats to 350 degrees. Bake for 1 hour or until liquid is absorbed and the French toast is set in the center. Slice into 9 evenly sized pieces.

Lately, I have been really craving sandwiches. I want them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And in my quest for a good Weight Watchers Breakfast Sandwich Recipe, that tasted yummy and was not full of preservatives like the frozen kind at the store, I ended up creating my own Spinach and Egg White Sandwich Recipe that was definitely a hit! My skinny version of this popular American food is loaded with protein, fiber, and calcium. It’s definitely larger than those skimpy ones you get at restaurants, so it’s very satisfying. And yet it has just a measly 4 Point Total. I also love that you can really mix this recipe up and try it with different meats and/or veggies without affecting the point total too much. I can’t wait to try out some yummy ideas I have!! If you too are looking for tasty, low calorie breakfast sandwiches, you must give this one a try!

Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients:
- 1 100 Calorie Sandwich Round
- 1/3 cup liquid egg whites (or egg substitute)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 slice fat-free American cheese (I used Kraft Singles)
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach leaves
- 1 slice lean deli ham
- 2 slices fresh tomato
- 1 slice red onion

Directions:
Spray a small frying pan with non-stick cooking spray and set to medium heat. Toast your Sandwich Round in a toaster. While bread is toasting, fry the slice of ham until it edges start to become a bit crisp. Place ham on 1 half of the toasted Sandwich Round. Next, add the spinach to the frying pan, and cover with a lid until the leaves start to wilt (about 1 minute). Add in egg whites, salt and pepper. Scramble egg whites with spinach and cook until egg whites are solid. Pile up the eggs into one section of the pan, and top with the slice of cheese. Cover pan with lid, and turn off heat. After about 30 seconds, remove the lid and cheese should be melted. Place eggs with the cheese on top of the ham on your sandwich. Finally, top with tomatoes, onions and the remaining half of the Sandwich Round. Enjoy!
