Banana nut muffins are the shortcut version to banana bread, and are made for breakfast meal prep. They are light and moist, full of toasted walnuts, and just sweet enough. Grab one next time you're running out the door in the morning to improve your whole day.

These are a cheesy and herb-studded muffin that is more like a savory scone or biscuit in texture. The muffin itself is fantastic and we wouldn't be upset to eat it all on its own, but add a perfectly soft-boiled egg inside and we're OBSESSED.

Cooking with chia seeds might seem intimidating, but in reality this pudding couldn't be easier to whip up! Simply add liquid, give it a good stir, and let time do the rest. We like ours topped with fresh fruit—juicy berries, sweet bananas, or fragrant pears work great—and crunchy granola, but feel free to go crazy with your favorite toppings.

Applesauce is the secret to these super tender and moist muffins, which you don’t even need a mixer to make. Sprinkling the insides of the cups (and the tops!) with cinnamon sugar gives the muffins extra sweetness and a light crispy crunch you'll love.

Although boiling a pot of water is easy, just tossing as many eggs as you want in an air fryer might be even easier. Simply cook the eggs to your desired doneness then shock them in an ice bath, and you will have perfectly hard-boiled (ok, air-fried) eggs.

We chose (frozen!) strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and bananas to be our base here, but any combo of fruit is great. Make a tropical smoothie of pineapple, mango, and banana or add blueberry and peach to switch it up for a summer twist.

You don't have to be a Taco Bell fan to appreciate the beauty of a crunchwrap supreme—it's the perfect marriage between crispy quesadilla and crunchy tostada. In this breakfast version, there's no tostada shell. Instead the crunch comes from hash browns. SO. GOOD.

Fruit scones are meant to be seasonal, so use your favorite farmers' market fruit (or whatever you need to use up in your fridge). Serve with some ice cream or whipped cream for a shortcake-inspired dessert in the evenings too.

We love ourselves a good crescent roll dough hack, and for good reason. This one is a simple way to avoid any complaints about the way the eggs are cooked (hint: they’re scrambled, but even haters will enjoy it tucked between flaky pastry), is super-customizable, and makes for a great on-the-go option too.

Quiche is a perennial fave in the canon of classic brunch dishes, and this version is the best. Soft, creamy filling studded with ham, chives, and Gruyère rests inside a crunchy, buttery pie crust—make one over the weekend then grab and go slices for the breakfast of your dreams all week long.
