Ugh, winter mornings are the worst! 🥶 It’s so cozy and warm in bed, how can you possibly drag yourself out to face the cold kitchen? And let’s not even talk about making breakfast! 😩
I used to be the same way, trying all sorts of things to get myself going:
- Alarm clock assault: Just made me more grumpy and gave me a serious case of the morning blues.
- Prepping breakfast the night before: Still cold and unappetizing in the morning.
- Ordering takeout: Convenient, but gets old fast and isn’t exactly the healthiest option.
Then I discovered this amazing kitchen hero – the slow cooker!
🤯 Slow cooker? For breakfast?
Hear me out!
Why slow cookers are perfect for breakfast:
- Time and effort saver: Pop your ingredients in the night before, set the timer, and wake up to a delicious breakfast ready to go!
- Packed with nutrients: Slow cookers allow ingredients to release all their flavor and goodness, making your breakfast both tasty and healthy.
- Endless possibilities: From porridge to soups, stews, and even egg custards, you can create a different breakfast every day!
My go-to slow cooker breakfast recipes:
- Red Dates & Longan Porridge: Red dates, longan, millet, and glutinous rice simmered together for a warming and energizing breakfast.
- Pumpkin & Millet Porridge: Pumpkin, millet, and red beans for a sweet and creamy porridge packed with fiber.
- Century Egg & Pork Porridge: Century egg, pork, and rice for a savory and protein-rich breakfast.
- Corn & Pork Bone Soup: Corn, pork bones, and carrots for a flavorful and calcium-rich breakfast.
My experience:
I’ve been using my slow cooker for breakfast for over two months now, and it’s a total game-changer! Waking up to a warm and delicious breakfast ready to go has saved me so much time and energy. Plus, the slow-cooked flavors are incredible, making me feel energized and ready to tackle the day.
Highly recommend to all lazy folks and breakfast lovers!
