You know what’s fun? Eating a meal at a time that is unconventional for said meal. In other words, eating one meal in the place of another meal. Brunch, lunch for dinner, breakfast for dinner (everyone’s favorite meal substitution)… They’re all fantastic. But, have you tried eating breakfast for dessert (or dessert for breakfast)?
If you really stop and think about it, there’s surprisingly a lot of overlap between breakfast and dessert recipes. Aside from eggs, the best breakfasts are sweet breakfasts. Donuts, muffins, scones, sweet rolls… They’re just so good. And so sweet. So, why not enjoy them for breakfast and then again for dessert? Or vice versa (because there’s nothing stopping you from making donuts or muffins for dessert, right?)
By eating the same treats for both breakfast and dessert, you can save yourself quite a bit of money. We all know that treats (especially breakfast sweets) don’t taste quite as good the next day. But, they do taste just as good later in the day or immediately the next morning (if you make them specifically for dessert). Basically, what we’re trying to tell you is that you can be budget-friendly by indulging yourself in “breakfast for dessert”-like recipes. More, specifically, our favorite breakfast for dessert recipes (that you absolutely must have)!
