Toaster Oven Breakfast Recipes

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why are we settling for a package of oatmeal or a plain-ass greek yogurt in the morning? While those two options are the easiest on-the-go breakfast choices, they get really boring really quickly. If you’re feeling fancy, you could make a sandwich for breakfast. If you’re trying to stay healthy but can’t even look at another egg, there are many alternatives. Or, if you’re like us, and you want a breakfast that is anything but boring, you need an easy recipe you can make in the toaster oven. Wake up a little earlier than usual and treat yourself to one of these killer toaster oven breakfasts.

2. Personalized Pop-Tarts: Nothing is more tragic than opening a package of Pop-Tarts and only being able to eat one of them, because then you have a difficult decision to make — either let it go stale or eat it and give yourself a sugar high that will probably last three days. But you’ll never have to deal with that dilemma again once you make your own Pop-Tarts. (Video via Samantha Ho)
