Breakfast ideas (apart from toast or cereal).

Ahh the task of trying to explain my haphazard cooking measurements to someone : By cup I mean a 250ml glass.
The oats I use are "fine wholegrain oats" from lidl so just standard oats.

Leave 1 cup oats and 1.5 cups milk together in the fridge all day or night. Add a heaped tbsp of SR flour and 1 egg and beat like normal pancake mix, add extra milk until it's a thick gloopy batter. Spoon blobs on to a pan and fry! They take longer to fry than normal pancakes as they're really thick, like cakey-scotch pancakes. Best fried in butter but they dry fry well.
I'm sure it would work well as a thinner mixture, I just like a chewy pancake.

River Cottage had a 'breakfast' programme, now on 4OD and you can check out their own website, but they made these fab looking breakfast energy bars, like flapjacks, with oats, nuts and seeds, dried fruit and honey. They looked great and you could make them on a Sunday and have them for the rest of the week! HTH.

American pancakes and crispy bacon, cooked at home and reheated in the MW, with maple syrup and butter, and, for choice, a glass of milk, followed by black coffee.

No, no no..... MW the pancakes & the bacon - (I never have problems reheating really crisp cooked streaky bacon. If you do, a paper towel laid lightly over the bacon absorbs any sizzling fat) - SPREAD the butter on the HOT pancakes and drizzle with maple syrup!

Sorry if I didn't make that clear!

In fact I often cook bacon in the MW when I'm in a hurry and can't be faffed with cleaning the grillpan.

Milk and stuff should keep unfridged for 3 hours especially at this time of year.

Sausage and bacon (cooked in advance), black pudding, tomato, in a bap and nuke it.

Baked-beans-breakfast-inna-tin, and nuke it.

Or take a breakfast in a food thermos or insulated dish. My tea thermos would stay acceptably warm for a 8 hour shift.

How about some porridge made up before you go to work and put into a wide-neck flask for when you're ready for it?

On the same note, warm up some rice pudding and put THAT into the same kind of flask.

For me personally, I'd be seeing a meal that's 3hrs into my work shift as LUNCH not brekkie and would be looking for something a bit more substantial - maybe some left-over casserole from the previous evening's meal or a mini-shepherd's pie 'pinged' in the microwave.

I have something like this:

I bought it in Lakeland but can't see it on their site now. The milk is still ice-cold after quite a few hours.

I make a mixture like a crustless quiche and either cook in a silicone cake dish to slice, or in silicone muffin tray for individual ones. You can flavour them any way you want. Take no time to make just once a week.
Very adaptable basic recipe:
Dice some onion, cook in microwave, put in base of dish/muffin tray. Add chopped ham/chorizo/cooked sausage/bacon/peppers/mushrooms/leek/spinach/grated courgette or carrot, feta or other grated cheese. Use lots of filling. I tend to always add cheese, whatever the other ingredients.
Beat 2 or 3 eggs with milk or cream and pour in. Bake at about 180c for about half an hour.
You can then freeze or keep in fridge for about 3 days. Eat cold or microwave. Really filling, will keep you going for hours:)

Wouldnt a thermos flask keep milk cold anyway?? Keeps hot things hot and cold things cold or am I wrong?
IF it does you could make porridge in the microwave and add some fruit to that
