Coffee Cake
This has been one of my favorite discoveries! When I first made coffee cake I knew it would be one of my favorite breakfasts. I thought it would be one of the more complex treats but it’s so simple.

I feel like coffee cake is one of those foods you would think of as being fancier or more of a treat, but it really is so easy and doesn’t require much time, effort, or supplies!
Classic Bagels
This food is super simple and without any extravagant ingredients and tools. I like to whip some dough up the night before and serve them for breakfast on any given day.

It also goes super well with cream cheese!
