Quick and Delicious Breakfast Recipes for College Students

Hi everyone, today I am writing about some simple and delicious breakfast recipes. Being a college student, I have found that I am in a rush  in the morning and do not have much time to cook a complicated breakfast. It is sometimes hard to find recipes that are quick and delicious. I tried a bunch of recipes and narrowed it down to 7 of the best ones.  Some of them are ones I found online and modified, and others are my own recipes that I have created myself. Some of these recipes may take longer to make than others. If you do not have time to make a recipe you can prepare the recipe the night before and just warm them in the morning. Now let’s get started.

     Avocado Toast

This is a recipe I created for avocado toast. I love easy and delicious this recipe is. It is one of my favorites go to breakfast recipes. I love putting Everything bagel seasoning on it. It adds a lot of good flavors. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp. Everything but the bagel seasoning ( or to taste)
• 1 slice bread of your choice ( I use sourdough)
• ½ of an avocado
• 1 tbsp. parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Put bread in toaster( if you are using larger pieces of bread you may want to break it half, so it gets crispy).
2. Spread the ½ avocado on the  bread.
3. Add Everything Bagel Seasoning and cheese on top of the toast.

2. Add the oats, nuts and seeds to the mug and stir well.
3. Microwave on high for between 1.5 and 2 minutes in 30 second intervals, stirring well each time, until the oats start to brown.
