When it’s cold and dark out every morning, dragging yourself out of bed can take forever. Next thing you know, you’ve hit snooze and you’re running out the door with no time for breakfast. But we all know how important breakfast is, and without it comes low energy and a mid-morning crash after your coffee.
To help make your mornings easier, and allow you to sleep in and eat a nutritious breakfast, we’ve compiled a list of quick and easy breakfast recipes that you can make in under 10 minutes (did someone say avocado toast?). Many of these you can even make the night before, like overnight oats, allowing you to literally grab it and go.
1. Cherry Coconut Overnight Oats
Via Self
Greek yogurt, coconut milk, oats, and cherries mix together to form this easy overnight oats recipe. Since cherries aren’t in season right now, you can use frozen ones. Just be sure to let them thaw before adding them or there will be extra liquid in the oats.
2. Asian Inspired Hummus Breakfast Toast

Mix up your usual avocado toast with this hummus toast, topped with hard-boiled eggs, green onions, roasted nuts, and a sprinkle of sesame oil. This could also be eaten for lunch if you’re short on time.
3. Three Seed Berry Parfait
