'breakfast option' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'hiking interminably brought up so-called' is the wordplay.
'hiking interminably' becomes 'raisin' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'brought up' becomes 'bred' (to breed is to bring up or raise).
'so-called' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'bred' is a homophone of 'bread'.
'raisin'+'bread'='RAISIN BREAD'
