Adorable Valentine’s Day Breakfast Ideas for Toddlers

First, let’s talk about the easiest ways to make Valentine’s morning special. 

You don’t have to go all out with your recipes.

Here are some easy ideas for Valentine’s Day-ifying your toddler’s Valentine’s Day breakfast.

Easy Valentine’s Day Breakfast Ideas for Toddlers

  1. Cut fresh fruit into heart shapes. The easiest option for this is with some fresh strawberries. Simply cut the top green stem off at an angle, easily making a heart shape! 

  2. Decorate in heart shapes. Another easy way would be to decorate your toddler’s plate with fresh berries in the shape of a heart for the special occasion.

  3. Dot your pancakes with chocolate chips in a heart shape. Holidays are all about having a fun, special treat, and what better way than with an easy heart of chocolate chips on top of the pancakes? You could add them to the pancake batter on the skillet itself to bake in or you could add the chocolate chips on top of your fluffy pancakes.

  4. Top pancakes (or waffles) with some strawberry sauce. Adding some color to your delicious pancakes is a fun way to serve Valentine’s Day breakfast!

  5. Top with sprinkles. Top whatever breakfast you make with some red sprinkles or heart-shaped sprinkles for an easy way to celebrate Valentine’s Day morning.

  6. Use a small heart cookie cutter to cut out the center of the donuts. This is a fun way to add a heart-shaped hole to your yummy breakfast on Valentine’s Day morning!

  7. Make colored pancakes. Something like a red velvet pancake mix will make decorative and seasonal-looking pancakes. Top them with some stripes of cream cheese icing and more of the Valentine’s Day sprinkles to really sell it! For an easier option, just add a little food coloring to your traditional pancake mix.

  8. Drink some pink milk. Strawberry milk is a great way to celebrate and one of the easiest Valentine’s Day breakfast options.

  9. Color your yogurt. For a healthier option, add some food coloring and sprinkles to some high-protein and low-fat Greek Yogurt. Take it a step further by topping it with heart-shaped red fruits.

  10. Serve an entirely red or pink meal. A little food coloring goes a long way. You could have some strawberry jam toast, strawberry milk, and heart-shaped strawberries for an easy Valentine’s Day breakfast idea!

Recipes for Valentine’s Day Themed Breakfasts

Valentine’s Day Pancakes


We like pancakes in this house and it’s even more fun with sprinkles. When I don’t have eggs in the fridge, I reach for a banana to substitute and add a hint of sweetness. Have you tried this hack before? It works just the same as an egg and for my vegan friends, this is a great way to enjoy pancakes without the cholesterol. 


Take any pancake mix (we like the one from Trader Joe’s) or any classic pancake recipe and substitute the egg for banana. To be festive, add a generous pour of sprinkles into the batter, cook, and then plate. Top with fresh berries and more sprinkles, and if you are feeling fancy a dollop of coconut whip is fun too!
