Whenever food is mentioned, I know all the food lovers are interested. Are you a lazy food lover or a hardworking food lover? Being lazy is not a crime; you are just conserving energy, right? Not to worry, I have come up with 5 snacks you can make for breakfast
There are moments when you will be running late for work, classes, an interview, or something that needs your attention very early in the morning, and you have no idea what breakfast to make quickly.
There are lots of easy breakfasts you can make, or you can easily grab a granola bar or an apple—your choice. Hold your horses, my Arewa people—in fact, most Nigerians! You were probably ready to say “not so kind” words. Well, you can be at ease because the 5-minute snack to make for breakfast is not a granola bar or an apple.
There are lots of 5-minute snacks you can make for breakfast, and they are sure to make your stomach full and basically not hungry and ready for the day.
This is a divine 5-minute snack to make for breakfast. It is yummy and amazing! I know, I used ‘awe’ and ‘amazing to describe it, and I might not be doing any justice to it. It is easy to make and easy to digest, too.
All you need is flour, baking powder, sugar or not, depending on if you have a sweet tooth, butter, milk, and eggs.
Mix your flour and baking powder in a bowl; keep them separately. In a different bowl, separate your egg white and yolk. Whisk your egg white, or you can use a mixer, until it turns foamy. Keep the mixed egg whites separate. Put your egg yolk in a bowl, add your warm milk, mix thoroughly, and add your melted butter too.
Add your milk, butter, and egg yolk mixture to your flour and baking powder mix before adding your egg white. Mix thoroughly. You can add vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or bananas for a more yummy flavor.
Your non-stick pan should be ready, and you should add a little bit of butter, or a teaspoon, in particular. Put a cup of your pancake mix in the pan and cover it on low heat for a few seconds, and you are done. Just to be sure it’s done, you can insert a toothpick in the pancake, and when it comes out neat, you can definitely get ready to put it in your mouth. You can go ahead and serve it on a plate. It’s your choice if you want syrup over it, honey or fruits with butter on the pancake, or basically anything else. Your life, your rules
This is also one of the snacks to make for breakfast. As the name suggests, they are definitely going to be rolled up, and they are super-duper easy to make. All you need is a loaf of bread, preferably sliced bread, and your sliced cheese.
Remove the brown parts of your sliced bread and get your rolling pin to roll over the bread. After that, you place your sliced cheese on your sliced bread and roll them together in a rolling-mat way. Place on the pan with already heated butter in it and leave till it starts turning a brown roast color, and you are ready to serve.
It can be eaten with different dips or, rather, a sauce, and will be enjoyed with tea or coffee.
The ingredients needed are 3 eggs, butter, salt, and pepper.
Separate the egg white and yolk, whisk separately, then mix together before putting it in a pan already on low heat for a few seconds before adding butter by gently raising the egg mixture. Cover the lid for 5 minutes before sprinkling salt and pepper. You can sprinkle some other stuff too, and your 5-minute snack you can make for breakfast is ready to be devoured.
Ingredients needed here are eggs, butter, mayonnaise, and mustard paste. The main ingredient is sliced bread, and without it, you can’t make a sandwich.
Get your sliced bread and cut off the brownish sides (if you love them, then you can leave them) on your pan. Then, add your butter before adding your eggs; there can be 8 eggs. Furthermore, add a little bit of mayonnaise and a teaspoon of mustard paste. The addition of salt to taste and pepper for a little spice is all up to you.
This is an easy, healthy 5-minute snack you can make for breakfast. The ingredients here are also as you desire. You can make different sorts of oatmeal with your oats. Here, all you need is a cup of rolled oats, bananas (mashed), milk (any you prefer), vanilla extract, and honey or sugar.
This is one of the snacks to make for breakfast and is very enjoyable.
Add everything to your saucepan, excluding the honey or sugar. Leave on medium heat and stir until desired consistency. It is ready to serve, and it’s better to serve it hot. Add honey or sugar, and you can also add blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, kiwi, and a lot more to make your 5-minute snack you can make for breakfast a little bit more fun.
We are at our limit, folks. Though I won’t mind listing all the amazing 5-minute snacks you can make for breakfast, unfortunately, this is my stop. Adios amigos.
