20 make ahead breakfast ideas for busy school mornings

In today’s post: Find 20 easy and delicious make ahead breakfast ideas to make your life easier!

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.

Make ahead breakfast recipes will save your sanity on busy school mornings! 20 great breakfast ideas you can make in advance your kids will love.

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.

      I like the ideas for me- a single senior. I don’t lways feel like messing up the kitchen every day but like a healthy breakfast. Thank you, Autumn. Your ideas are so inspiring to me. I’ve actually started sewing again after watching how simple you made it. Thank you, dear lady.

They discusses various types of breakfast ideas for school and college. Those materials were taken from Nutrition blog and journal. Susan Walles shared her ideas too.
