5 Make Ahead Breakfast Ideas for Busy Weekday Mornings

Raise your hand if you’ve left the house in the morning without eating breakfast?

Raise your hand if you attempted to eat your left foot by 10 am?

Weekday mornings can be very hectic. I get it. Especially the beginning of the school year when we’re all trying to get back into a routine. There have been mornings where my husband and I have raced out of the house without eating. But that’s no way to live and I definitely can’t send my kids to school without eating a breakfast.

We ALL need to eat a breakfast and these 5 make ahead ideas are hearty enough to get you through the morning.

5 Hearty and Make Ahead Breakfast Ideas

1. Egg & Sausage Burritos

This is an easy freezer recipe. I make a double batch and store them in freezer bags. In the morning, I warm the burritos up in the microwave for a minute or two and that’s it for breakfast prep.

2. Baked Oatmeal

This is my personal favorite breakfast. I make a pan on Sunday night and it will last us about 3 mornings, if all 4 of us eat it for breakfast. Store in the refrigerator and heat your portion in the microwave for a few seconds to warm up. I like to pour a little milk on top of mine.

3. Egg & Ham Muffins

I make a batch and then store them in a freezer bag. In the morning, I wrap the muffins in a cloth napkin (or paper towel) and microwave for 15-25 seconds or until the are warmed all the way through.

4. Buttermilk Waffles

This is my grandmother’s recipe. I always make two batches and store in freezer bags. In the morning, I pop them in the toaster. I like the crunchiness from the toaster, but if you prefer, you could heat in the microwave. Serve with fresh fruit.
