In the morning, everyone's in a rush—whether it's for class or work, not everyone has time to stop and enjoy breakfast with family or friends. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a delicious sweet or savory breakfast; there are plenty delicious breakfast recipes for one. It’s the most important meal of the day—you might as well make it a good one.

Pancakes

Not only are these pancakes single-serving, so you don't have to deal with leftovers, but they're also healthier than your traditional bisquick. You can spruce them up with delicious add-ins, from blueberries to chocolate chips.

Have a delicious, satisfying breakfast in less than 20 minutes with this recipe. It's like eating pizza in breakfast form, which means you can add all of your favorite toppings. Plus, the protein from those eggs will leave you feeling satisfied until lunch.  

Avocado Toast

Avocado toast may be the trendiest breakfast on Instagram, but that doesn't mean the nutritional benefits aren't there. With healthy fats and carbs, plus protein if you top it with an egg, it's a perfectly balanced breakfast. And if plain old avo toast gets old, try switching it up

English muffins make the perfect base for a breakfast for one. My personal favorite use of the english muffin is eggs benedict, but there are tons of options to satisfy every sweet or savory breakfast eater.
