belgian waffle with ice cream and syrupSurely, you've had breakfast for dinner before. Maybe even dinner for breakfast? (Sometimes, there's nothing like leftover, cold pizza at 9 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Mmm.) But what about dessert for breakfast? Just too gluttonous to work? Ehh. Not so fast! It might actually help with weight loss, according to a bunch of sugar-happy scientists at Tel-Aviv University. Apparently, adding a chocolate chip scone or doughnut to breakfast while on a low-calorie (1,400/day for women) diet resulted in less hunger and fewer cravings and more weight lost. Kiiiinda wacky, considering that there's research to show having sugary food in the a.m. can set your blood sugar up for a day-long roller coaster ride. 

But hey, considering this new study, maybe that's simply not true for everyone! So, in honor of this sweet research, here are a few drool-worthy desserts that could double as breakfast ...

What's your favorite "dessert for breakfast"?

Coffee Cake

Sure, it pairs perfectly with a morning cup of joe, but let's be honest: It's actually dessert, too.

    Ugh! No! I cannot eat anything sweet in the morning. Idk how anyone can, it makes my stomach hurt. I love sweets but in the morning, not so much. I even tried eating trail mix the other day for breakfast at work, I barely made it through 1/4 of the bag before I gave it away. Keep your waffles and pancakes and pass me some eggs and sausage. :)
    I'll have sweet breakfast stuff for lunch or dinner or something. But never breakfast.

    I am the total opposite, max. I have a gigantic sweet tooth (especially for chocolate) all the time, so I love sweet stuff at breakfast. I wish I had the recipe my college dining hall used to use for chocolate chunk scones...they were huge and amazing and a drowsy college kid's dream at 8 a.m. I used to take two and down a glass of something cold to wake me up. Yum!
