Granola Parfait

No cooking skills here, just layering skills! A parfait is usually served in a transparent glass jar or plastic cup depending on the size. You would need some Greek yoghurt or the plain unsweetened yoghurt that come in bowls; your favourite store-bought granola and fresh fruits of your choice. Begin layering with a couple tablespoons of granola then yoghurt and fruits. For extra sweetness, drizzle some honey on top of your layered parfait or on each level of yoghurt.

To prepare French toast, all you need is your preferred bread, sliced as thick as you like and some egg wash. Put some butter on a pan to let it melt and place your bread (covered in your egg and milk mix) on to the pan. It's ready when the toast is brown on both sides! To serve, go sweet or savoury: with some rich maple syrup and fruits of your choice; or some crispy bacon and eggs, depending on your taste.

Scrambled Eggs and Plantain

Scrambled eggs literally mean eggs scrambled in a pan; it doesn’t have to look pretty and it is super easy for people who cannot cook. All you need is a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. For real Nigerian scrambled eggs, add some tomato, onions, and some fresh pepper. Make it even better by adding a green veg like spinach. Serve with fried plantain, yam or toast.


Smoothie Bowls

This is 100% Fitfam approved, Vegan or Vegetarian friendly, very healthy and super delicious. Plus, it looks really good on the plate so your spouse will be wowed already before even tucking in. It doesn’t even require cooking! Just blend their favourite fruits with a handful of uncooked oats and coconut or almond milk until smooth. Bananas or avocado will make it creamy. Add greens for more nutrition and their taste will be masked by the sweet fruits. Top with more chopped up fresh fruit and coconut flakes. Yum.


These dishes do not exactly qualify as major cooking as they all involve limited preparation but are definitely a good representation of easy breakfast in bed ideas for the spouse who cannot cook. How will you be making your spouse feels special in the morning?
