Valentine’s Day Breakfast Ideas
Red Roses are all the rage on Valentine’s day, but nothing is sweeter than making something with your own two hands for someone you love!
You can always give them candy and sugar, but there’s a better way! Make them a homemade breakfast with simple ingredients that you can get started the night before so the next morning is a breeze! Be sure to print your free recipe card!
It’s a special occasion that sparks a sweet tooth on Valentine’s day… But there are so many delicious options too!
Valentine’s Day Breakfast Recipes
There are so many to choose from, I’m sharing my favorite Valentine’s Day Breakfast recipes, they are also easy recipes, and one of them will be perfect for you! Serve with fresh fruit, bacon, ham, sausage, and scrambled eggs for delicious protein. Then, pour a glass of orange juice to top it all off!
1 – Heart Shaped Sourdough Pancakes
This is one of our favorite recipes for sourdough pancakes! Just mix up some extra sourdough starter the night before, and add a couple of ingredients before you start cooking these fluffy pancakes! Pour into a heart cookie cutter on the skillet for heart-shaped pancakes.
Top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, peanut butter or your favorite jam! *Optional – My kids also love it when I sprinkle a few chocolate chips into the batter!
2 – Sweet Cream Pancakes
The perfect way to start Valentine’s Day off right could be these sweet cream pancakes! These can also be heart-shaped pancakes, but the best part is that they fall apart in your mouth. Sweet cream lends a texture that melts in your mouth.
Top with your favorite topping or with Ice cream to make it extra sweet and special… What kid doesn’t feel loved who gets Ice Cream for breakfast? Serve with fresh berries, maple syrup and whipped cream!
3 – Popovers
This is a delicious recipe that makes crisp, puffy popovers that can be topped with a dust of powdered sugar or whipped cream! Serve with fresh fruit, bacon sausage or scrambled eggs!
This Popover Recipe is so simple, just make sure to let the batter rest before cooking it! (That lets the flour absorb the moisture so that they really puff up big!)
4 – Crapes!
This is a flavorful breakfast! I love to buy a few pounds of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries to serve with crapes on Valentine’s day!
This is a family favorite! Pair berry-filled crêpes with whipped cream for a delightful breakfast treat.

Sourdough Crepes – Sourdough Discard Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar optional!
- pinch salt!
Instructions
- add all ingredients to your blender and blend till smooth!
- Set your crepe batter to the side and preheat your nonstick skillet to medium heat. pan. Heat over medium until hot, and brush with butter to coat the base of the skillet.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter into the middle of your hot skillet, then immediately tilt and rotate your pan so that the batter spreads out into a large, thin circle. (It's easier to do in a skillet with a longer handle.)
- Cook each crepe about 45 seconds, until the edges peel off easily and the underside turns golden brown. Gently flip and cook another 30 seconds. Then remove to a plate.
- Repeat cooking till all batter is been used, brushing the skillet with butter before each crepe.
- Serve immediately.
I also like to cook up some bacon in the air fryer or sausage to go with crapes.
