I need some new ideas since most breakfast foods are bread-related, and we eat too many eggs. Olive also hates yogurt.
What do you feed your LO for breakfast?

ugh, I'm no help. Every morning Wagon Jr. eats yogurt and either eggs and sausage or cheerios and milk. Sometimes he eats a banana too. We also got earth's best frozen waffles and french toast sticks and he loves both of those.
So the only things that you can take from that are sausage and bananas. Sorry!! That's tough.

She gets oatmeal and applesauce every morning. She's a bit younger than your two, though.

We do oatmeal and fruit every morning. She loves it and it helps her poop. Maybe you could do fruit salads or mini fruit pizzas (some carbs, but not the same as, say, pancakes).

My LO is younger than your LO's but we feed her toast, oatmeal, yogurt, eggs, or banana.

I've never really eaten "breakfast-y" things for breakfast on the average day, so I suppose I always assumed I'd do the same with my kids.
What about broth and porridge type things as breakfast foods? I don't know if you guys feed the kids quinoa, but that's easy to cook as a breakfast food as well. I had it today.
Maybe smoothies would go over well? Just frozen fruit and yogurt, a little milk.

LO isn't that hungry in the morning so she eats a yogurt, half a banana, and some strawberries. It's more like a yogurt plus something else. Sometimes it's just yogurt.

Fruit- either raw, steamed or pureed
Sometimes I make rice pudding and add fruit to that
Oatmeal with fruit
And then lots of yogurt, and bread products like raisin bread, or french toast

Eggs, banana and egg pancakes, bacon, sausage, leftovers.
He typically eats at school so I try to get some protein in him because their food is carb based.

We are big oatmeal fans. When I make it, I mix in a raw egg, honey, raisins, chopped apples, cinnamon, or whatever we feel like. I also freeze it and mix in toppings like blueberries after defrosting. I have heard some people making savory oatmeal, but have never tried that...

@Arden: olive hates being fed so she only does finger foods since she can't feed herself soups well. charlie however is a fan of green smoothies. it's hard to get olive to drink anything.

i think soups and broths would be great! defrosted from the freezer or heated up from the fridge if i remember correctly i think you have said that charlie and olive tend to like soups/broths too? maybe it will go down easy
hehe

@Rainbow Sprinkles: i've made breakfast oatmeal cookies in the past and they weren't a hit. maybe i just need to try a better recipe.
@T-Mom: love the idea of raw egg! i've been trying to feed them raw egg lately, but it kinda grosses me out because i can't eat it!

@Mrs. Bee: It halfway cooks and makes the oatmeal kind of custardy, so maybe you could stomach that! My DS isn't so great with the spoon, but I make the oatmeal very thick and I scoop it for him and he puts the spoon in his mouth himself. It takes a bit of supervision though.

Oatmeal with fruit
Fried apples (with cinnamon)
Pancake fingers – I use a whole wheat buttermilk pancake mix and instead of adding water/milk to the mix, I add in fruit purees. LO’s favorite flavors are banana or apple with cinnamon, apple/cherry or blueberry. If I have left over fried apples, I will chop those up small and add those in as well. You could easily add in dates, raisins, dried fruit, etc.
Greek yogurt with fruit purees
Turkey bacon (only a little since that is pretty salty)
Yogurt melts and nutrigrain fruit/cereal type bars

DD has just started solids but I'm going to save this thread for future reference. So far I've given her fruit for breakfast but I'm also trying out something called gröt, a fortified porridge for babies that's really common here in Sweden.

Breakfast usually consists of steel cut oats with a little honey, sausage or bacon, avocado, fruit (today he had kiwi and apple), and soy yogurt with blueberries or strawberries and chia seeds. He is starting to steal my green smoothies too so I'm planning on giving that to him in the mornings too.
