Your go-to easy school year breakfasts?

My kids are tweens and teens and can get breakfast themselves, but we usually don't have time for a sit-down breakfast. What are some ideas for five-minute breakfasts (and options for items that we can eat in the car)?

Thanks!!

Muffins are good for this. Love morning glory muffins, which seem healthy (we make some with apples, apple butter, carrots, etc). But we also make peanut butter/banana/choc chip, which are filling.

Fruit, yogurt, granola parfait
Peanut butter or avocado toast
Overnight oatmeal (or keep a big batch in the fridge). I like peanut butter and banana oatmeal personally

Spread some grated cheese (usually cheddar or jack) on a whole wheat tortilla. Microwave for 30 seconds and then roll up. I like the Whole Foods whole wheat tortillas.

Shakes- frozen bananas peanut butter milk ice and ground flax. Protein powder maybe.
Egg sausage and pepper muffins
Bran muffins with nut butter and jam
Microwave an egg with cheese and put it on a while wheat English muffin with salsa
Breakfast burritos
Overnight oats, or just regular whole oats

Add vegetarian refried beans, and your kid can have some protein too.

Adding beans is good for fiber, too (although there is protein in the cheese and ww tortilla so the breakfast is fine as is, imo).

Do you like your sandwich maker? I'm sorely tempted, but my husband will complain it's just another one of my kitchen appliances taking up space in our small kitchen.

-stovetop oatmeal w/fruit & toast, microwaved breakfast sausage maybe
-cheesy scrambled eggs w/fruit & toast, microwaved breakfast sausage maybe
-toasted bagels w/cream cheese & fruit
-toaster waffles w/fruit & cottage cheese
-blueberry muffins (the big ones from Safeway), with fruit & cottage cheese

These are the five that I do each week but I mix them up a little bit so it isn't always the same thing on a Tuesday, for example.
