6 Easy Spring Breakfasts

Spring brings a short window where asparagus, peas and the first mangoes all turn up in the shops at once, and breakfast is an easy place to use them before the season moves on.

A few of these need a bit of weekend time, like the ricotta hotcakes, which are worth doing properly on a morning you're not rushing out the door. The rest are built for weekday mornings: smashed peas on toast takes ten minutes, and the overnight oats are ready before you've got the kettle on, since the work happens in the fridge overnight.

Banana bread and muffins round out the list for anyone who wants something to grab on the way out rather than sit down to.

Mango and asparagus won't be around forever, so this is a good stretch to get through most of this list before the season moves on to summer fruit.
