I always prefer getting a breakfast included with my booking. I can't seem to find a moderately priced hotel with a free breakfast. Even the hotels mentioning 'breakfast included' seem to charge a lot for breakfast. Anyone know of a hotel to recommend?

There is really no such thing as a free breakfast. The cost of that breakfast is baked into the hotel rate if breakfast is provided at no extra cost. If you can't find a hotel with breakfast included within your budget, the best you can do is look at lower-priced hotels that charge extra for breakfast so your total nightly cost still falls within your budget.
Central-Amsterdam hotels are rather expensive these days.

The reason that breakfast is usually priced separately in Amsterdam is because of how the tourist tax is calculated. The tourist tax for hotels in Amsterdam is 12.5% of the flat room rate, so without things like breakfast, parking etc.
Terms like “moderate” mean different things to different people and hotel rates are very date dependent in Amsterdam. So if you want people to give you specific advice you would need to give a budget in euros and the dates you plan to be here.
