Frozen Yogurt Granola Berry Bites
These cool and crispy treats could stand as a dessert recipe or a snack recipe, but since they're full of granola, yogurt, and berries, we think they’ve got breakfast written all over them—especially if you swap store-bought granola for homemade and regular yogurt for Greek.

Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups
Don’t be fooled by their size: With eggs, veggies, cheese, and ham in each serving, these cups pack a impressive nutritional punch. They're like a smaller, healthier quiche. We like it.

Banana and Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cups
Baked oatmeal is a wonderful thing, but we usually only see it in the casserole dish. This recipe transfers it over to muffin tins and we're kiiiinda obsessed. Each muffin is studded with chocolate chips to make breakfast feel just a bit more special, but the banana base keeps it mostly healthy.

Vegetable Egg and Toast Cups
Sometimes you just need to stick to the basics, and this recipe is like that, but better. Good ol’ whole-wheat bread forms the “cups” here, and those are filled with vegetables and eggs. It's a reliable way to get in a nutritious, meatless breakfast.

Grab-and-Go French Toast Cups
French toast that you don't need a fork and knife for? Pretty much a dream come true. The recipe calls for homemade bread, but go ahead and use any thick toast you’d like to hold in all of that buttery, eggy filling.

Paleo Egg Cups
Even if you don’t follow a Paleo diet, these five-ingredient, low-carb cups are likely to appeal to you (because bacon). Since they're pressed into muffin cups, the meat crisps up to hold the eggs and asparagus in each protein-packed serving.

Apple Banana Quinoa Breakfast Cups
This is one of those glorious recipes that can be taken more as guidelines than specific instructions—it's perfect for customization based on your favorite fruit, spices, and other fun add-ins. But if that's not your thing, the original is pretty dang good as is.
