So you know those moms that make their kids a hot breakfast every day before school? Actually, a better question is: do you actually know any of those moms? Do they really exist? And if they do, how in the world do they do it? What with getting everyone up and going in the morning plus finding lost shoes and scrambling to finish the homework we forgot about, my kids usually end up eating cold cereal. Every day. I’m pretty sure I’m never going to be able to add cooking up something hot and nutritious before school to our daily routine. I mean, I’m feeling pretty good if I can convince them to have instant oatmeal every once in a while!
I know, if I planned better or got up earlier I’m sure I could pull it off, and all joking aside I know some moms who manage it without much trouble because it’s a priority to them. And because lots of them are smart enough to use MAKE AHEAD breakfast recipes, which allow you to feed your kids something hot + homemade without having to do lots of extra work on busy mornings. Since the kids are headed back to school in a few weeks, today I’m sharing 20 make ahead breakfast recipes.
Some of these recipes are meant to be made and frozen until you’re ready to eat them, others are meal prep ideas where you can cook once and eat all week, and a few are simple recipes you can throw together the night before. I hope you find something that makes your busy school mornings a little easier!

We’re empty nesters but do you know how many ideas you just gave us for an upcoming camping trip? Thank you, thank you, thank you. DH’s lit up just scrolling through. He said he could totally make those breakfast sandwiches on our gas O-grill.
