Lighter American Breakfast & Brunch Recipes | Cooking Light

Whether you’re running on full speed before work or sitting down to a leisurely brunch on Saturday morning, you’ll find recipes here to fill you up and keep you going the rest of the day. Best of all, these classic dishes have been lightened without losing their incredible flavor.

First, enjoy bit of crunch in the morning with a serving of All-American Granola.

Sweetened with maple syrup and studded with dried cherries and sliced almonds, this pantry staple is easy to customize. Try dried blueberries, cranberries, or even apples, and maybe even a little flaxseed for fiber. Or toss with fresh berries before serving.
