    I have one of these for breakfast every morning:

    It's easy to make from separately purchased ingredients if they aren't in your area and/or you want to make it yourself.

    Oatmeal is super quick, and adding fruit to it makes it even more delicious! Also, having yogurt on hand is a great thing. Finally, finger foods, like fruit, and toast are frat things.

    It may sound odd but I like cottage cheese and scoop it with pretzel crisps. It is easy for me to eat quickly at work and get lots of protein.

    How much time do you think you need to have?

    "Recipe" implies that you have to cook it. What about pouring some cereal from a box and adding milk? Sometimes I add yogurt as well. Two slices of bread in the toaster while eating the cereal, and you're ready to spread something on them as soon as they pop up.

    Sometimes I have an egg boiling while I'm in the shower, so it's really no extra time waiting on that either.

    You could keep the cooked breakfast ideas for holidays and weekends when there's not so much rush.

    120g of cottage cheese or yogurt. Bam, breakfast. Need more calories? Add some fruit and/or pb2.

    I'm on the cottage cheese for breakfast too, lots of protein and I like it. I do drown it in hot sauce though, which gets me some funny looks in the tea room.

    I make scrambled eggs in the morning. Or do mini omelets in the a muffin tin go you have a grab an go to reheat. I also eat greek yogurt with fresh fruit and tsp of honey. Leftovers from the night before. I'm not a picky eater or will only eat something at the "right" time of day.

    Parmelet stuffed with a little steamed broccoli and a few chunks of Tyson cooked chicken breast (google "parmelet" if you want to see how that's prepared - it is delicious!)

    I make a big batch of steel cut oatmeal on Sunday. It takes 1 minute to heat up (I use stove top but microwave would work too). To this you can add fruit, cottage cheese, yogurt etc etc. And it keeps you very full until lunch. I went through a phase where I put coconut milk and chocolate chips in :) Very decadent, I know, but I just needed a treat to get me out of bed.

    Great idea, @mylifeisbeautiful! Mind sharing how you cook your big batch of steel cut oatmeal?

    Wholegrain rice cakes with organic peanut butter. Pretty quick, I usually have it at my desk when I get into work. Or toast rye bread and spread on some mashed up avocado mixed with chilli flakes, lime juice and chia seeds. I prep it all the night before and eat at my desk in the morning.

    I boil eggs over the weekend and eat one each day on some crispbread crackers. On weekends I make a two egg omelette with mushrooms, spinach, and feta.

    I usually do sort of a breakfast scramble with chicken breast, mushrooms, and egg whites, covered with salsa. Other times, I will cook turkey cutlets, pork chops, or steak in a skillet with a side of eggs. The wife makes a smoothie with whey protein, almond milk, and fresh fruit.

    Breakfast for me is stuff like Greek yogurt, granola bars, cereal with milk, sandwich, dinner leftovers, fruit, cottage cheese.
    A banana with peanut butter is pretty tasty.

    Cupcake tin: mix up 12 - 14 eggs and fill each cup about 3/4 of the way through. Add your choice of meat and veges. I usually use hillshire farms turkey sausage, peppers & onions. I like to saute the sausage and onions a bit before I add them to the eggs and bake until they are fully cooked.

    Hard boiled eggs and string cheese are regular for my breakfast as well!

    Overnight oats if you like that sort of thing (it's not for everybody). My current breakfast is 60 grams of oatmeal, 1 packet Truvia, one serving (12 grams?) of PB2 all mixed together with 1/2 cup of almond milk. Then leave it to soak over night. When I'm ready to eat it I either put chocolate covered sunflower seeds in it or mini semi sweet chocolate chips.

    I always batch cook English muffins, 1 egg crepe, 1 low fat Cumberland sausage chopped into slices with a little bit of low fat cheese. You can freeze them and keep them in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. Once ready to eat you only have to put them in the micro for 1:30 mins and that's you got a lovely breakfast. I always sit it on a bit of kitchen roll so the muffin will not get soggy. Works perfect. I also make them with lean bacon. xx

    I'm not that that poster, obviously, but I do something similar. My way of making a big batch is to put it in the slow cooker on Sunday afternoon.

    Today I had 4 oz homemade yogurt and 50g protein powder mixed in. I made the yogurt last weekend and the measuring and mixing of it today was quick.

    Have seen cottage cheese mentioned several times in this thread. I guess it's odd to me because I have always had it for lunch or dinner, but never considered it a breakfast food. Wonder how it would be with a side of eggs or with a bagel..hmm. I'm intrigued!

    You may try the Spinach and Egg Breakfast Muffins. I just searched it online and cooked it with my oven at home. I found it very delicious and healthy for my breakfast.

    I found this recipe thru my Humana Newsletter. The original recipe called for raisins but I opted for dried blueberries, available at Walmart. I also started adding 1/3 cup of unsalted, in-kernel roasted pumpkin seeds.
    I just don't have time to cook each morning. A batch makes 10-12 cookies s a batch lasts just over a week. I warm them slightly in a toaster oven.
    They are quick and easy to make.

    1½ cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup unsalted, roasted sunflower seeds
1/3 cup unsalted, toasted sliced almonds
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, beaten
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with aluminum foil, oil or coat with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
    2. Whisk together the oats, whole wheat flour, raisins, sunflower seeds, almonds, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
    3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients, and stir until just moistened.
    4. Working in batches, use a ¼-cup measuring cup to scoop the batter and place on the prepared baking sheets, flattening slightly with the bottom of the measuring cup to create circles, about 3 inches in diameter. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie. If the batter starts to stick to the inside of the measuring cup, spray with cooking spray or simply wipe clean with a paper towel.
    5. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, about 12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the bottom. Cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring the cookies to a wire rack.

    Lately I've been eating basic oatmeal with a single packet of fake sugar. I miss the raisins, butter and brown sugar. *sigh*
