4. Peanut butter bread with a little extra

The next time you toast your bread, go for the peanut butter. For many of us, we cannot deny the delicious combo of peanut butter and banana! Throw on a couple blueberries or chocolate chips.

5. Design your own banana

If you are tired of grabbing a banana and running out the door, take an extra couple of minutes and spice it up a bit. Spread on some peanut butter or jam and add some fruit.

6. Grill some peaches

If you haven’t had grilled peaches yet, I urge you to run to your local farmer’s market immediately! Grill some peaches in a little bit of butter and sugar, place them on top of some toast or in a bowl of yogurt. You won’t be sorry.

7. Overnight oats

This may take some pre-planning compared to other simple breakfast ideas, but in the morning, you will be so glad you did it. Pour some oats into a Tupperware container, mixing in some milk, almond milk or yogurt. Add some jam of your choosing, fruit, almonds, whatever you feel like! In the morning, you will have a perfect breakfast that you created.

8. Eggo breakfast pizza

Eggo waffles don’t only go with syrup. The next time your waffle pops out of the toaster, make a little peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or make a peanut butter and banana “pizza.”
