Being in college can be stressful for students who have early classes every day or constantly feel like there is not enough time in the day.

As a result, many college students forget the most important meal of the day: breakfast. However, many simple and quick breakfast options exist that will help start the day the right way. 

The only things required to make these delicious breakfasts are a microwave, mug and a couple minutes. All the ingredients are simply mixed together in the mug and then placed in the microwave for a few minutes.

Various recipe options are available to satisfy a sweet tooth in the morning or to keep it simple and savory. Treats that can be made in a mug range from French toast to cinnamon rolls to delicious omelets. They are the perfect size for one person, which means no food will be wasted.

Here is a recipe for the sweet tooth in the morning:

French toast

Ingredients

• 1 slice buttered bread

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1 egg

• 2 tablespoons syrup

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• A pinch of salt

• Cinnamon sugar (optional)

Instructions

• In your microwavable mug, mix together the egg, milk, syrup, cinnamon and salt until all combined.
• Cut your buttered bread into square bite-sized pieces. Add the bread so it is submerged in the liquid. If desired, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
• Now place the mug in the microwave for two minutes, checking every 30 seconds or so to make sure it will not explode.
• When done, let it cool for two minutes and then enjoy.
