Naan

One serving of naan bread contains at least 247 calories. Either whole or white wheat, it provides enough energy to give you a head start.

The naan bread is a type of flatbread that is believed to have originated in India. We can usually find them, primarily, in the Indian subcontinent and in most areas of West, Central, and South Asia. It’s also usually served in every Indian restaurant worldwide.

Its recipe includes whole or white wheat flour mixed with salt, water or milk, and yeast. Milk is usually preferred over water because it doesn’t only add a distinct taste but provides softer dough. The dough is then massaged and pressed for a few minutes. After it was kneaded, it is set aside for a few hours until it rises. When the dough has risen, it’s divided and molded into balls and flattened and then baked. The balls should be at least 100g or 4 ounces each. In modern ingredients, yogurt is sometimes used as an alternative for milk and baking powder instead of yeast.

In traditional Indian cuisine, naan is usually served hot and brushed with ghee or butter. Though the plain naan bread is tasty as it is, sometimes, locals add fillings like spices to add extra flavor.

Doughnuts

Cakey or light, frosted or glazed, filled or in hole form, doughnuts are just a (very good) excuse to eat cake for breakfast. But some of those store-bought delights may as well be in the dessert display, given that they can pack up to 52 grams of sugar! 

Coconut and chocolate chunk banana bread doughnuts

Mashed bananas, coconut flour, and almond meal make up the super-healthy base of these fiber-rich breakfast doughnuts. Dark chocolate and honey do the sweetening, while vanilla extract adds extra flavor.
