If you're a savory breakfast fanatic, then you're probably familiar with a huevos rancheros-style meal: refried beans on lightly crisp tortillas, fried eggs, salsa, and cotija. It’s originally a simple protein-and carb-based breakfast for farmers, hence the name “huevos rancheros.” We love finding ways to play with this classic breakfast (like in our casserole version), and our new obsession is this breakfast bowl version.

Getting all your protein in doesn’t have to be a wallet-busting nightmare—these protein-packed, 5-minute copycat Chobani yogurt drinks will help you start the day off feeling full, focused, and fiscally responsible. We went with our three favorite fruit flavors—strawberries 'n' cream, mixed berry vanilla, and peaches 'n' cream—but the yogurt base is completely customizable to whatever fruit combination you have on hand. And the best part? These are super-easy to batch and sip on all week long.

Granola is the ultimate salty-sweet and crunchy snack for any time of day. This version of the staple snack food has all of the flavors you’d find in a crispy and syrupy square of baklava—pistachios, walnuts, and plenty of sticky-sweet honey. It all comes together in an air fryer and takes a fraction of the time to cook than it would in an actual oven. In short, a quick and easy breakfast has never tasted so good.

Giving cold hard cash to Starbucks seems far-fetched in this economy. Even if that cash is in exchange for their fluffy, cheesy, protein-packed egg bites.

When it comes to easy, flavor-packed, and make-ahead breakfasts, overnight oats always deliver. Then blended overnight oats started to pop up on our TikTok feeds, and we needed to see if they lived up to the hype. And did they ever! Blending the ingredients together gives the finished recipe a thick, almost pudding-like texture. Because these are peanut butter oats, a cap of melted chocolate felt important here. (And chocolate is absolutely a breakfast food. See: pain au chocolat.) Sliced bananas, crunchy peanuts, cacao nibs, and more honey complete this magical breakfast moment.

What can't the air fryer do? For starters, it can turn out fluffy oat pancakes and make a crispy chicken sandwich with a fraction of the oil you'd normally use. Perhaps best of all, it makes crunchiest of crunchy granola.
