recipes please!

Right, I need some input here. I'm about to start the early-rising-for-work thing and I am having breakfast issues, namely:

- I don't like most cereals
- I am bored of toast
- eggs are time-consuming
- I should probably stop just eating yoghurt, and add some carbs to my first meal of the day

I like the idea of making a batch of breakfast muffins and then sticking them in the freezer, and defrosting one to eat every morning. The internet of course has recipes aplenty, but I thought I'd canvas personal opinion. So. Does anyone have any favourite recipes for muffins or other breakfast options that are fairly healthy, and filling, and would freeze well? Sweet or savoury, don't mind.

Oatmeal! You can cook up a batch pretty much any way you like, let it cool, then store it in serving-size containers (or empty jam jars!) in the fridge. Since the individual containers aren't being opened every morning for you to scoop out a portion, the porridge should keep perfectly well for several days.

(Recipe-wise, my favourite porridge trick is to stir an egg into a batch as it's cooking. It gives it an extra protein boost, and a really nice silky texture. Make sure your porridge isn't at too high a temperature when you're doing this though, as otherwise the egg will cook too quickly and you'll be left with a bunch of eggy bits in your oatmeal.)

Huh, that's a neat trick! I'll have to try it come April when the mornings are cooler :)

I don't mind porridge in winter (though it falls under 'most cereals' in that I'm heartily sick of it after a week or so) but it's definitely too hot for it at the moment.
