How about making muffins or scones? They make a great breakfast treat, travel well, and are easy to make. Here is a recipe for PA Baker's scones.
PA Baker’s Scones
8 oz (1 3/4 c) all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp sugar
Granted zest of 1 medium orange
4 oz (8 Tbsp) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/3" cubes
3/4 c buttermilk, divided
2 Tbsp turbinado sugar, sugar in the raw, or granulated sugar (I use sugar in the raw)
(Add 1/2 cup dried currants, dried cranberries, dried cherries, bits of chocolate, or fresh blueberries to create a variety of scones)
Heat the oven to 400F. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in an electric mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix in the orange zest or other mix-ins. Add the butter and mix just until coated with flour. The butter chunks should remain fairly large--no less than half their original size. With the mixer set on low speed, add 2/3 c of the buttermilk and mix until just absorbed. Stop mixing when the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Scrape the dough from the bowl and shape it into a ball. With well floured fingers (I never need to flour mine), pat the dough into a 7"-diameter disk. Cut the disk into quarters and then again into eighths. Set the scones on a baking sheet lined with kitchen parchment and brush the tops with the remaining buttermilk. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar and bake until well browned, about 15-20 minutes.
