85 Oat-Standing Breakfast Puns To Get Your Day Started

Mornings are weird. One minute you’re wrapped in a blanket burrito, the next you’re debating if coffee counts as a full meal (two coffees, maybe?..).

And then there’s breakfast – basically the only thing that can make rolling out of bed actually worth it. Fluffy pancakes with maple syrup, crispy bacon, eggs that (unlike you) crack under pressure…

Maybe it’s the morning brain fog, but egg-cellent breakfast puns just hit differently. There’s something about a stack of pancakes and a perfectly-timed joke that makes the start of your day a little butter.

Whether you’re a syrup-drenched waffle person or a “just give me toast and let me live” type, breakfast delivers the best kind of morning fuel – fluffy, delicious, and full of wordplay!
