I grew up eating cereal or toast for breakfast, or a fry-up on special occassions. But on HB everyone seems to have so much more interesting breakfasts and I want to try out some new stuff.
Can you share your make-ahead breakfasts with me? I'm looking for stuff that's suitable for a toddler, bonus points for extra fruit and veg, especially if it's hidden

We do slow cooker oatmeal overnight and it's heavenly in the morning waking up it fresh hot oatmeal. Add whatever fruit or berries you have laying around and some nuts and maple syrup!
-
I usually make a batch of pancakes and freeze them so I can take a few out for M. I dip them in mushed-up fruit like blueberries and strawberries or some yogurt.
-
I make and freeze egg muffins sometimes...mix up some eggs with cheese and veggies and bake in a cupcake pan. E will eat them as is, D likes to smoosh them down in between an English muffin.
-
We both WOHM so make ahead freezer breakfast is essential!
I tend to make banana or blueberries (buckwheat) pancakes and waffles. Spinach or Kale mini quiche. Banana nut muffins. Overnight steel cut oats. I've also done oatmeal bars before.
-
Freezer breakfast burritos. I made them for the first time before having my daughter and we loved them and they were a huge time saver when I was tired with a newborn. My husband recently asked if I would make them again. Our 13- month old loves them!
-
@Mrs. M: so I see this a lot. My concerns: wouldn't the burrito and eggs be gross after being frozen and thawed?
-
Awesome, thanks guys!
@prettylizy: Do you have à recipe? -
@locavore_mama: Shockingly no. I worried about this too when I first made them, but they really are good!
-
I make these protein banana bread bars to eat on the way to the gym that I love! They are so delicious! I make them once a week, cut them in to servings, wrap them individually and just grab one from the fridge in the morning.
-
Egg muffins (great for reheating) & I make breakfast sandwiches that are easy enough to throw togethe rin themornigns:
english muffin (toast it) microwave egg white beaters, and toast with cheese and lean ham.
-
I take ham/turkey slices push it into a cupcake pan, add red pepper, green pepper, diced tomato, diced onion, pour egg white and cover with a tablespoon of shredded cheddar. Every one loves them and claims they taste like pizza. They stay good in the fridge for a few days or you can throw them in a freezer bag and reheat
-
We always have veggies (specifically tomatoes mushrooms onions and green peppers) pre-chopped/diced in our fridge. Also we always shred cheddar cheese and have it available to use. So a quick healthy breakfast is mixing all the veggies and cheese into scrambled eggs. The perfect combo is one ounce of cheese to one egg. We make 3 eggs with 3 oz chees and veggies and breakfast is ready is less than 10 mins for everyone. To make it extra tasty I add fresh garlic if we have managed to press it in advance too. Oh and adding spices like basil oregano and pepper are good. And finally we eat it with pita and hummus
In fact, I will have to make this for you the next time you come over, it is my breakfast special.
-
Overnight French toast is my fav, though you do need to bake in the morning.
-
Crustless quiche. I make one on Sunday and reheat a slice each morning.
-
I've been making oatmeal muffins/cupcakes lately. You can tweak the mix-ins however you'd like...I do chocolate chips for my husband and plain for my daughter. We even like them better reheated than straight from the oven.

ETA...I don't follow the recipe very well. I use regular sugar and don't really measure anything.

Thanks guy, some awesome ideas!
@californiadreams: Looking forward to it
