Whether you live far from the dining halls or just love sleeping in, fitting breakfast into your hectic morning can sometimes be difficult. Luckily, I’ve found some quick and easy breakfast recipes that you can make in your dorm with just a few simple ingredients.
Overnight Oats
For any girl who loves oatmeal but doesn’t have the time, this is the perfect recipe. Overnight oats are quick, easy, and can be prepared and stored for up to five days in advance to eating—perfect for reducing the morning craze. You can keep them simple or personalize them to your palette by adding fruit, chocolate, or even seeds and nuts.

Banana Boats and Banana Boosters
Packed with potassium and protein, these recipes will help kickstart your day. Again, these yummy boosters can be prepared in two ways by either cutting the banana in slices or lengthwise. Banana boosters are simple and easy: all you need is peanut butter to spread in between your slices. Banana Boats, usually a campfire dessert, can be adapted to be a personalizable breakfast option with the addition of coconut, chocolate, fruit, or cranberries.
Another quick hack: replace peanut butter with nutella or almond butter depending on your preference.

Topped Rice Cakes
Rice cakes are a healthy and easy alternative to toast and can be loaded up with any mix of toppings. You can go for a more savory route with avocado, hummus, or tomatoes, or stick to the sweet and add nutella, fruit, or honey. In a hurry, just adding peanut or almond butter on top can save time and boost energy.
