We all know a healthy breakfast is a good idea. But also, pastries exist. When faced with a contradiction of this magnitude, the best thing to do is to take the middle path. So, yeah, eat a healthy breakfast most days, but don’t feel bad about allowing yourself to have chocolate for breakfast when you feel like it. And for those days when you do feel like it, here are some delicious chocolate recipes:
1. Tart Cherry and Cacao Nib Granola
Taking control of your life starts with great granola. OK, maybe that’s a reach, but at the very least you can get your day off to an excellent start.

2. Spiced Orange Chocolate Chip Waffles
Being gluten-free doesn’t have to be a total drag all the time. For example, you can eat these amazingly delicious spiced orange chocolate chip waffles. You should also probably eat them even if you’re not gluten-free.

3. Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Granola
Chocolate-covered strawberries are the inspiration for this lovely granola. But don’t let its good looks fool you — this is the breakfast to eat on days when you mean business (or are just running late).

5. Pear and Chocolate Cake

6. Chocolate Crepes
For whatever reason crepes somehow made it into the dessert category, but they’re really just very thin pancakes, so they should fall squarely into breakfast. Help this wonderful, noble food claim its rightful place at the breakfast nook. It’s the least you can do.

7. Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Pancakes
Here’s the deal, these are protein pancakes. (They also have peanut butter and chocolate, but still, protein.) Eat as many as you want.

8. Stuffed Nutella French Toast with Strawberries
Surely you know that Nutella is really good on a piece of toast. But when it’s stuffed in between two pieces of French toast and topped with strawberries? You just won breakfast by a landslide.
