My go to breakfast is usually a hard boiled egg a banana and my coffee. It is not cutting it anymore, as I'm hungry an hour later. I need some ideas that I can eat in my car in my way to work after I drop the girls off at daycare. Bonus if they can be made ahead and links too!

I can only think of some easy peasy things like
breakfast burritos

Also along those lines a ham/cheese roll up in a tortilla (this was actual go to GD breakfast)
I also protein bars in the morning if I'm in a super rush. I like Luna bars, they are super tasty. I like the blueberry bliss and smores ones the best.

burritos, smoothies, boiled eggs and turkey sausage.
also, non-traditional breakfast meals. who says you can't have a turkey sandwich at 7am?

I have seen articles online about baking mini frittatas/omelets in muffin pans. They can be kept in the fridge (or in some cases frozen) and eaten throughout the week. When I make eggs, I often use two egg whites per yolk so that they still taste eggy but have fewer calories and cholesterol.
Along the same lines, you could also look for some healthy muffin recipes. I recently found an Alton Brown banana bread recipe that uses oatmeal flour. It has a lot of butter but I have been meaning to try it again but substitute apple sauce for some or all of the butter. If I keep tweaking I might wind up with a healthy version of it!
Mini muffin tins would make more sense since you can eat them in a few bites which would be less messy in the car. Just throw a few into a baggie or tupperware.
Also, fyi, when I read this thread I thought it was titled "Cat friendly breakfast ideas". Meow!

Protein bars! Belvita makes some breakfast cookies that are pretty fulfilling!
-
English muffin toasted with peanut butter!

@ElbieKay: I also keep seeing this thread title as "Cat-friendly breakfast ideas"!

I eat a banana and drink coffee every day on my way to work. When I get to work I make myself a bigger breakfast (normally a parfait with fruit, greek yogurt, and granola).

@lavender: I was in a huge rut and was going through the drive through more than I would like. I ended up trying the frozen jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches and they are pretty good (although not great for you). 1 minute in the microwave.

I do toaster waffles with peanut butter, and make a sandwich out of them so I can eat them with one hand in the car. I used to just do the waffles, but I would be starving by the time I got to work - the peanut butter definitely helps keep me full.
-
I first read it as "cat friendly" and I was like, I need to see what this thread is all about!
-
@ElbieKay: Me too! Every time! And I keep thinking "Um...cereal with milk, I guess? Tuna sandwiches?"
-
I second the english muffin with peanut butter...It's been my go-to for the last few years on the way to work! I've also been thinking about switching it up though, and I love the mini-quiche ideas. I might make a bunch, keep them in the freezer, and heat them up before leaving in the AM! Yum.

Make ahead frittata -- you can make it italian, southwest, add sausage, no sausage, change the veggies with season, etc. Here's my particular favorite. It's very satisfying:
