It’s the ultimate irony. While breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it’s the one we rush through the most. Even worse, we skip it altogether and find ourselves ravenous by lunch. There’s no doubt we’re all pressed for time in the morning, but a solid and satisfying breakfast can be achieved without a whole lot of effort. To find out how, check out the following kitchen tools that will improve your breakfast, each and every day!
Smoothie maker

These take up little space on your counter while whipping up a healthy and delicious breakfast in just minutes. Even better, it’s a great way to get your daily dose of fruits, vegetables, and supplements. To save even more time, prep your fruits and veggies at night. Then, store them in the fridge for up to several days, or up to a year in the freezer.
Mini pancake pan
A plate of warm, fluffy pancakes isn’t just for lazy weekend mornings when you have one of these. Now, you can whip up 6 to 8 perfectly-sized mini pancakes all in one go! Since the pans are designed for even heat distribution, you won’t end up with a mix of burnt and undercooked pancakes. Best of all, the coating on these pans makes cleanup quick and easy.
Instant coffee maker
It may seem a bit extravagant, but having a freshly brewed cup of coffee in less than a minute, can really help turn your mornings around. Unlike standard coffee makers, these machines are built for efficiency. There’s no need to measure out the coffee grounds, or make sure that you’re up to the correct water line – just fill the water tank, pop in the pod of our choice, and press start. Making coffee this way can also help your budget by cutting down on visits to your local coffee house.
Breakfast sandwich maker

These nifty gadgets have individual compartments to accommodate your choice of meat, eggs, cheese, and bread for a hot and delicious way to start your day.
Egg cooker
Eggs are a mainstay of breakfast menus all across the world. They also contain many vitamins and minerals, including protein and lutein. The electric egg cooker is an easy way to enjoy hard or soft-boiled eggs without standing over the stove. Pour some water into the base of the cooker, place your eggs on the top tray, and let the machine do all the work! If Some models even come with trays for poached eggs or omelettes, in case you get tired of boiled eggs.
Microwave bacon maker
A side of bacon would go great with those eggs. But you’re probably not keen on standing over a hot stove, babysitting a pan of sizzling bacon. Why not make it in the microwave, instead? Microwave bacon makers give you hot, crispy bacon in minutes while separating the fat, which rolls down into the bottom tray. That’s right, no more soaking and scrubbing an entire pan for a few slices of bacon.
