For mornings when it's hard enough to get out of bed, let alone cook up a fancy dish, these two-ingredient breakfasts (not counting salt, pepper, and oil) are just what you need. Roll together some Nutella crescent rolls, crisp up bacon in the air fryer, or make scrambled eggs straight out of the microwave. You'll love how low-hassle these recipes are.

Who knew that applesauce and oatmeal could create such delicious breakfast bars? Unless you're watching your sugar intake, use sweetened applesauce for a more balanced flavor.

In less than five minutes, you can have perfectly scrambled eggs right out of your microwave. Once whisked, all they need is a dash of salt and pepper to bolden the flavor.

Cooking steel cut oats in the Instant Pot both cuts down on the amount of time and makes for an easy hands-off breakfast. Dress up a bowl however you want. We like a sprinkling of walnuts, drizzle of maple syrup, and dash of cinnamon.

This low-carb take on waffles is simply made with an egg and some mozzarella cheese. Recipe creator lutzflcat serves hers sweet with a drizzle of syrup and pat of butter, but you could also go savory with a sprinkling of green onions and dash of hot sauce.

The Instant Pot can be key to making perfectly "boiled" eggs every time. As a bonus, the pressure cooking makes the shells practically fall off, meaning peeling won't be a problem.

If you're a fan of extra crispy bacon, then this is the recipe for you. The air fryer creates the perfect crunchy texture for eating on its own, putting into a sandwich, or crumbing over scrambled eggs.

The smell of sweet, chocolatey Nutella baking is enough to get the entire family out of bed. In this recipe refrigerated crescent dough is coated with Nutella before getting rolled and baked to golden brown perfection.
