In our household, breakfast for dinner has become a beloved tradition. While my family enjoys a hearty breakfast in the morning, our busy schedules often make it challenging to gather together for a meal. With everyone waking up at different times, sharing breakfast as a family is a rarity. Instead, I've found that whipping up breakfast for dinner brings us together at the end of the day, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
This practice reminds me of my childhood, where breakfast for dinner was a delightful treat prepared by my mom. Those moments were special, and I’ve cherished the opportunity to pass this tradition down to my children. There’s something comforting about pancakes, eggs, and bacon that just feels like home, no matter the time of day.
As I stroll through my kitchen at 6 a.m., the sight of beautiful ripe bananas from the local farmers market catches my eye. They spark a craving for my gluten-free banana pancakes, and I find myself wondering if those luscious bananas will still be around by dinner time.

The Charm of Costa Rican Bananas
I’ve developed a particular fondness for the small Costa Rican bananas. I buy them fresh, right after they’ve been picked, and they often arrive a bit green. It’s a delightful surprise to watch them ripen on my counter over the next few days. They become the perfect snack, but if I’m fortunate enough to snag a few before my family devours them, I can transform them into delicious banana bread or fluffy pancakes.
And here lies my dilemma: I’m now craving those pancakes for dinner! My family has been eagerly watching the bananas ripen for the last three days, and I can already picture them lining up for a snack as soon as they spot the golden fruit. If I wait until dinner, I fear there won’t be any bananas left to make my beloved pancakes.
Perhaps I should embrace the idea of breakfast at breakfast time and dinner at dinner time. But then again, who can resist the allure of a cozy breakfast spread in the evening? It’s a delightful challenge and one that keeps our family traditions alive and well.
So, do you eat breakfast for dinner? If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend giving it a go. It might just become a cherished tradition in your home, just as it has in mine. Don’t forget to grab my free gluten-free banana pancake recipe and start your own breakfast-for-dinner tradition!
