I'm a crock pot oatmeal lover myself! I do a 4 parts water to 1 part steel cut oats ratio and add in unsweetened dried blueberries, spices, and a teensy bit of sugar. I mix it up in a glass bowl and put the glass bowl in the crockpot along with enough water in the pot to meet the water level in the bowl. Super easy clean up and the crockpot can even be used again right away!

Eggs and veggies with cheese is my fave. Not too hard.

Super simple is yogurt and granola.

A smoothie. (green smoothie even)

You can substitute applesauce for the eggs in baked stuff like pancakes and waffles. That is what I have done for DH. It might be too sweet, though.

How much applesauce would be the substitute for each egg? I have unsweetened applesauce so hopefully it wouldn't be too sweet. Although I guess, applesauce is naturally sweeter than egg. I'm willing to try it though. What kind of savory toppings would you put on pancakes and waffles besides syrup or jam? Maybe just butter?

If i remember correctly, a tablespoon of ground up flaxseed that has had time to chill equals one egg. I have never tried it but I've read it enough times on the vegan websites to know flaxseed=egg (I might have the measurement wrong though).

I like to eat last night's dinner for breakfast. It almost always involves protein. String cheese with breakfast gives me that little bit of extra oomph too.

Peanut butter and jelly on toast with a small glass of milk

A bowl of cheerios with fresh fruit (I don't like sweet cereal either)

A handful of cashews and almonds with whatever I'm eating is another way to shake off the sleepy feeling.

Green tea with honey

Now I'm all hungry

I'm going to have to make a list of ideas, especially for work mornings as I need something I can eat as I drive. Something I can prep the night before and grab would be even better. Now I need to do more thinking and meal planning. Thanks for starting this thread.

For egg replacement in baked goods, here's what I usually keep in mind:
If the batter needs to be thick, then mashed ripe bananas usually do the trick better.
Thinner batter? unsweetened applesauce.

So, for pancake batter, french toast, etc., applesauce
For muffins, loaves, etc., I'd go with bananas

As far as breakfast ideas, I actually love salad for breakfast. If you want fruit, strawberries, raisins, and grapes are always good salad toppers.

Find different grains and you'll have a plethora of breakfast options. I love oats but am keen on quinoa and couscous (regular not Israeli) for breakfast. They soak up anything you want to put in them. Favorites? Apple butter, crushed fruit, even savory things like roasted mushrooms, leeks, and spinach.

Also, if you miss eggs, extra-firm tofu can be scrambled with salt, pepper, and vegetables for an eggless scramble. I like to mix cumin, salt, pepper, thyme, and about 3-4 tablespoons of water in a cup. Then I sautee some crushed garlic, onions, and veggies in a pan with some olive oil. Break the pack of tofu (I use 2 packs) into the pan and flip it all around until browned. Don't worry about being precise, just get the water out of the tofu. Add your spices, mix it in and voila, tofu scramble.

Have you tried nutritional yeast by the way? I"m not sure of your restrictions, but if you are restricting dairy, you must make friends with nutritional yeast

Cheers!

Japanese Farmhouse Breakfast

Easy and Cheap Miso Soup
Fluffy Brown Rice with Optional Meat Garnish * Pickles

For Easy and Cheap Miso Soup, you need a bag of boiler onions (small yellow onions), a bag of light miso, and a spoonful of diced cooked vegetables per person if desired. You can replace the vegetables with one or two small cubes of tofu if you wish, but I have never tried it. Allow one or one half onion per person. Cut it into slivers. Check the miso package for the amount of dashi to heat for each serving. Instead of dashi, use water and/or leftover broth from cooked vegetables and/or leftover meat or fish broth. Throw in the onion while the water is heating and follow the package directions for adding the miso. You can put in the leftover vegetables right at the end.

For Fluffy Brown Rice, soak the rice all day or overnight before cooking; when cooking, follow the package directions, using the maximum amount of water. Do not use precooked or instant rice. Cook a big pot of rice when you are not in a hurry and use it up over 3 days. You can reheat it gently on the stove or use a microwave. The Optional Meat Garnish can be an ounce or two of neat slices of leftover meat, such as a leftover pork chop, or perhaps lunchmeat cut into shapes with small cookie cutters for a Japanese touch. Or use a portion of cooked or canned fish. In any case, put it on top of the rice while the rice reheats.

The Pickles can be right out of a jar. Or look up some recipes for quick Japanese pickles and make a batch to last a week or so--many Japanese "pickles" are really just marinated veggies.

I make large batches of granola every few weeks and store it in large glass containers. This is the recipe I use ( instead of honey I use maple syrup and instead of oil I use coconut oil) I like to add coconut and any kind of dried fruit that suits my fancy to it as well.

I eat this most mornings with yougurt and fruit. Usually blueberries.
