A balanced breakfast is a must: It sets the tone for your day, providing a healthy start that’ll let you tackle your to-do list with ease. But sometimes, you just want something sweet, without the sugar crash that comes after.

While we can’t justify eating chocolate for breakfast every single day, there’s a way you can have your cake and eat it too (quite literally). Ahead, check out some of our favorite breakfast recipes that are sweet, gooey, chocolately, and, yes, healthy. You won’t even realize the difference.
