My next big dilemma that I needed to work on was BREAKFAST. The most important meal of the day and usually the one that gets skipped. I want to be intentional this year so I went on a search to try and find some breakfasts that I could make ahead and freeze. Here are 21 Make Ahead breakfast’s that I could freeze with 4 that would be very quick to make the night before or in the morning. We get sick of toast and peanut butter every day so we need to shake it up!
25 Make Ahead Breakfast Ideas
Here are my finds:
The classic Egg McMuffin. I Like these as well.
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.
Breakfast Burritos
I have made and froze breakfast burritos for years. These are good.
I want to try these. I love crispy hash browns.
These are nice to use up any veggie left overs on hand.
I have made these and froze them. Really good. No carbs.
These look fun! I think kids would really like them.

Great breakfast ideas! I am a new follower on GFC. Patsy
I am thinking breakfast for dinner after reading this, yummy!!! What great ideas, thank you:)Hugs, Tanya
Peanut butter and jelly is actually pretty decent for breakfast, and is easily frozen. I buy one loaf of bread specifically for this purpose. I spread peanut butter on every single slice, assembly line style — about 1 teaspoon on each piece. Then, only on 50% of the pieces (half) I spread a thin layer of all-fruit jam of some kind. Sandwich them together. The specific reason you want PB on every slice is that you want the jam *between* the layers of PB. I keeps the jam from getting the bread damp or sodden. I then put every sandwich in a wax bag, and put all the wax bags bake into the bread bag, and freeze it. Every morning I take one out (or the night before). They defrost very, very quickly. Certainly by lunch or a late breakfast. It's a perfect freezer staple and you know, no matter what, if you forget your breakfast or lunch, you've got a sack of PBJ sandwiches are thawed in 20-30 min tops (long enough to take a shower and get dressed, or, when you get to work, it's thawed by mid-morning and perfect at lunch. Very inexpensive when compared to uncrustables.
Caly, Thank you! Peanut Butter and Jelly is a great idea and freezing it is so smart. Thanks for sharing. Barb
Great ideas Barb, Jacob's 1st day at his new school is tomorrow and we now have a bit of a commute so it's going to be early mornings. Make a head breakfast ideas are perfect, especially the ones he can eat in the car on the way to school. Thanks for sharing
Oh my – what fantastic ideas Barb – thank you so much for doing this series – I'm giving this a shoutout on my FB page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/NorthShore-Days/235617543185297http://www.facebook.com/pages/NorthShore-Days/235… />hugs Nat
Great post; thanks for including my egg muffins! (When I taught school I used to eat them in the car on the way there!)
Great post! 🙂
These are all wonderful breakfast ideas. I really need to make and freeze some of these because breakfast does get skipped around here. Thanks for sharing.Holly
Great time-savers, thank you!!
Thanks so much Sarah. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting.
These would be great for mornings before work at our house! Thanks for sharing it and now I'm hungry!
So many yummy options! Thanks for linking!
Just discovered your blog via pinterest and it's full of wonderful ideas – we're hosting our first blog carnival over at Blogging with Kids "Schools Days" and would love for you to submit some of your amazing back to school posts.
I really needed a post like this. I am so out of ideas for breakfast. Following your blog now and looking forward to more great ideas!
Ooh yum, what a great roundup! We don't have any kids going back to school, but these would be great for my hubs and I to take to work with us in the morning too. Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!
What a great post I would love for you to stop by and link up @ CountryMommaCooks Link and Greet party going on now-Mon……….have a wonderful weekend : )
I am making Breakfast egg in a ham cup tomorrow-and it's not even a school day! Thanks so much for putting this list together and I am pinning it for a few weeks from now:) If you get a sec I would be jazzed if you stopped by and linked up at my party {Get Schooled Saturday} going on right now!xxx Kim @ Too Much Timehttp://too-much-time.com/2012/08/get-schooled-saturday-34.html
Thanks for gathering all these ideas in one place! Do you think the bacon for the bacon egg cups could be precooked a bit (but not till crispy) before putting it in the muffin cups?
New follower… Brilliant post! My hubs goes to work before any of us wake up and this is PERFECT! Thank you!Misty @ http://monkeysandtutus.blogspot.com
What a great collection! Those all look delish! I am so not a morning person and these will be really nice to have on hand. Thanks for sharing!
You could mix maple syrup in your pancake batter for the McGriddle
Wrenne, Great idea! Thanks for stopping by and sharing that. BArb
Fantastic ideas!! Thank you from a new follower.
I love all the healthy breakfast alternatives compared to out of the box! Thanks for linking up 🙂
Perfect timing sharing this on my Our Favorite Things Link Party – My Jacob started school last week and I'm already out of cereal.Thanks for sharing.
Hi there. I am so thank full that I found you. I have just made the Egg Muffins and am so happy with the result. I have done a post on my own blog about them and have mentioned you in it of course. I hope that's ok with you. Thanks again. I can't wait to further explore your blog and try some more recipes. 🙂
All of your make ahead recipes look so good! =)Im kind of partial to the biscuits and pizza…yummmmm!Im a new follower!
This looks so delicious! I love hot breakfast but in Germany we usually eat bread and some spread. Scrambled eggs and pancakes are for special days mostly. Now that my hubby is on his maternity leave (what is this called for the daddies?) – he is home one month so we can spend time together as a family – we have special breakfast more often. Thank you so much for that yummy collection! Reini from Germany
Yummy! I think I need to go make me some breakfast now. Thanks so much for sharing all your great ideas on "I Gotta Try That" You have a great day Barb!Marcie
Those are some great ideas! My girls start back to school next week, and then I start classes the week after, and I really want to plan ahead on our meals. Unfortunately, I have one that can't have eggs, but the rest of us will have to try those!
Wow! Those are so many delicious ideas. Not just for the kiddos!
Wow such a great round up! I find myself serving the same old same old for breakfast A LOT! My family thanks you for all these awesome breakfast ideas :)Thanks for linking up to our Weekend Wonder link party. Hope to see you again on Thursday.
I love these ideas! Thanks so much for posting! One question…on the Magic Muffin Mix ~ is it really 1 cup of stevia?
These ideas are great! I showed my husband and he loved some of the ideas! Thanks for sharing these on Saturday Show and Tell. I hope you'll be back again with more great ideas! -Mackenziehttp://www.cheeriosandlattes.com
What a great idea. I only wish my kids would try the variety! They're cereal lovers. (At least it's healthy cereal, though!) Thanks for linking up at One Creative Weekend.
This is such a fabulous post!! I want to try almost every single recipe you shared :)Thank you for sharing! I'm a new follower, looking forward to reading up on your posts!
Thanks for the great breakfast ideas!
Hi Barb,I featured you post this week. Thanks to much for sharing.http://mylifesatreasure.blogspot.com/2012/08/our-favorite-things-link-party-10.html
Another good one that you can freeze is Breakfast Bubble Biscuits. <a href="http://richestoragsbydori.blogspot.com/2012/03/stuffed-breakfast-bubble-biscuits.htmlhttp://richestoragsbydori.blogspot.com/2012/03/st… />They are stuffed with eggs, hashbrown, cheese and bacon and can be frozen. Easy to make too! Love the ideas you posted.
YUM-EEEE! These all look delicious! My fav one (and I have never seen before) is the pancake batter over bacon. I saw your fun post over at the CSI Back to School Project.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Definitely will be trying these out!!
Breakfast is so hard for my little one to eat before school since we're out there door so early. thanks for all these great resources. I've shared in our on Pinterest Recipe Board. http://pinterest.com/educatorsspinon/recipes/
Thank you sooooo much for these ideas. I just made a little dry-erase menu board for my daughter for breakfast because she has become so picky in the morning. I think in part she is just tired. Anyway, these will be fabulous and healthy additions I never would have thought to try!
Wow! This is just what I was looking for Barb! We start school in two days and I was dreading the return to having to prepare faster breakfasts in the morning. At the end of last year's school year, I found myself whipping up smoothies day after day and the kids were starting groan a bit, missing hot cooked breakfasts. I am going to become a new follower! Thanks again.
You forgot the every so easy and yummy German Oven Pancake 🙂
Love, love, love this post!!! I am always searching for ideas for breakfast and this is PERFECT!!! Thank you for sharing! I will pin this AND become a regular follower of your blog!Amy

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast provides you with the energy and nutrients that increase concentration in the classroom and leas leads to healthy life. These post look awesome! I might have to try your quick banana roll ups in the morning. : )
