Second Chance To Dream - 50 Make Ahead Breakfast Ideas

We know breakfast is the most important meal of the day but sometimes we just don’t have time to make something. I’m sharing 50 Make Ahead Breakfast ideas that will help you on those hectic mornings. These ideas work great if you take an hour or two and prepare a few and freeze. Then you have what you need on hand and can just grab and heat.

Here are my finds:

Smoothie Packs

Smoothies are always a great option for breakfast and you can prepare all your fruit ahead of time and then grab a pack and make.

Sausage Pancake Bites

One of my very favorite McDonalds breakfast items is the McGriddle. I rarely have them because the calorie count is so high. I going to make these and try them. Yum!!!

Egg McMuffin

The classic Egg McMuffin. I like these as well.

Bacon Egg Cups
NO Carbs. Score! although my bacon will be cooked more.

Sausage Egg McMuffin
Like these as well. You could even substitute a biscuit for the English muffin.

Silver Dollar Pancake Sandwich

I think I’d like these better if they had the little pieces of sweet in them like the McGriddle.

Breakfast Burritos
I have made and froze breakfast burritos for years. These are good.

Baked Egg in Ham Cup

I could never eat the egg prepared this way, but that’s the beauty of being able to cook it any way you like it. My sons would probably love it.

Bird’s Nest Breakfast Cup

I want to try these. I love crispy hash browns.

Breakfast Quiches

You could also cook these with out the rolls if you didn’t want the carbs. Pillsbury might not like it.

Muffuleta Quiche Cups

I don’t think I’d add the salami and olives but I love spinach and eggs and tomatoes together. My boys wouldn’t touch it but if you’re making a dozen of them you could custom make 3 or 4 for each person.

Mini Frittata
These are nice to use up any veggie left overs on hand.

Egg Muffins

No carbs, lots of protein

Breakfast Pizza

I used to make these all the time, years ago. We loved them. Gotta get back on these. We would have them for supper.

Sausage Casserole

I have made these and froze them. Really good. No carbs. Just grab and microwave.

Bacon Pancakes

These look fun! I think kids would really like them.

Breakfast Quesadilla

I love quesadillas but I’ve never had a breakfast one. Probably similar to breakfast burritos.

No Bake Easy Chocolate Chip Granola Bar

These look yummy. They would be a grab and go breakfast. I will probably add a scoop or two of protein powder to the dry ingredients.

Chewy Granola Bar

Check out this granola bar recipe, they look fab!

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

I LOVE muffins! I rarely make them. But if I made them and froze them, I’d eat them a lot more. Check these out. Don’t they say fall! mmm…. muffin and a good coffee.

Easy Bake Granola

I LOVE some good granola, but I don’t make it. Need to try this recipe.

Magic Muffin

Here are some more muffins with a healthier twist. I’m going to add protein powder in my dry ingredients so that we have that extra protein. This is a great way to use up fruit that is about to get yucky!

Apple Sandwiches

I know this isn’t a make and freeze meal but you could whip these up pretty quick. And they are GREAT! I shared this link in my Beach and Boating snacks post.

Banana Roll Ups

This also couldn’t be made and froze. My boys wouldn’t eat a whole wheat tortilla so we will use a flour one. But you could whip those up the night before or in the morning.

Make your Own Oatmeal Packets

This is a great idea and better than the store bought ones.

Make Your Own Fruit on the Bottom Yogurt

This is another great idea. You could make it up the night before so it’s ready for the morning. I love them stored in the 1/2 pint jars.

Ham & Cheese Muffin

Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwich

These look really healthy!

Bacon & Egg Taquitos

Pecan Sticky Buns

Pioneer Women’s Make ahead Muffin Melts

Basic Oven Omelet

Bacon Hash Brown Wrap

Hash brown Breakfast Casserole

Sausage Potato Pockets

Don’t like sausage, use your favorite meat.

Baked Breakfast Casserole

Toaster Pancakes

Orange Vanilla Monkey Bread

Oatmeal Banana Breakfast Bars

Oatmeal in a Jar

Oven Baked French Toast Sticks

Apricot Yogurt Scones

Oatmeal Clafoutis

Apple & Cinnamon Whole Grain Breakfast Strata

Overnight Oatmeal with Apricots

Strawberry Sour Cream Scones

Homemade waffles for the freezer

Overnight Cranberry Coffee Cake

Honey Raspberry Parfait Pop

I imagine all kids would be eager to eat this for breakfast!
