That’s why you should start making breakfast ahead! Have it ready to go, so all you have to do is grab and go.

42. Classic Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Red peppers are my preferred choice; green peppers are unripe and have a somewhat bitter taste. (If left to fully ripen, green peppers will eventually turn another color and the flavor will become increasingly sweet.)
41. Chocolate Oatmeal Breakfast
Let me show one of my kids favorite breakfast: oatmeal. They love this so much that I do them as a snack. From stove-top oats to overnight oats, to slower cooker oats to oats in the Instant Pot…oatmeal (and Pancakes!) will forever be their breakfast of choice.
40. Blueberry Pancake Breakfast Squares
Craving pancakes but not the work of standing at the stove flipping them? Make these EASY oven baked pancakes with only THREE ingredients!! Perfect for weekend brunch or as a make-ahead weekday breakfast!!
39. Banana Breakfast Cookies
Don’t we all just want cookies for breakfast? With this recipe, you can have them guilt-free.
Between the oats, bananas, raisins, and walnuts, they’re essentially baked oatmeal bites – chocolate chips optional.
38. Oven Roasted Breakfast Potatoes
Having potatoes for breakfast is something I don’t often have time for. They take time to bake, whereas a pan of eggs can be ready in minutes.
But making up a big batch, storing them in the fridge, and frying them off when needed is such a clever way to incorporate an extra filling element into your morning.
37. Healthy Apple Pancakes
Healthy apple pancakes made right in the blender! These fluffy gluten free apple pancakes are made with oats, applesauce, a touch of maple syrup and cinnamon for the most delicious healthy breakfast perfect for toddlers, kids and adults.
36. Vegan Breakfast Grain Bowls
You probably have a lot of different grains in your pantry. Let’s use them up here! The breakfast bowls are prepped ahead using whole grains, 3-5 servings, then stored in the fridge to assemble and eat during the week in a variety of different ways. For example, this week, out of simplicity I picked quinoa. Last week it was buckwheat. The week before, millet. I cooked enough to make 5 breakfast bowls and then stored the cooked grains in the fridge. Each morning I pulled out a cup of grains, topped with different toppings, and poured heated almond milk over top.
35. Cinnamon Raisin French Toast Bake
Breakfast Recipes like this one are great for the holidays or family get togethers. Instead of making individual slices of French toast over a griddle, you can bake breakfast for everyone in one dish. For more sweet breakfast casseroles try Chocolate Chip Croissant Casserole.
34. Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole
Here’s another sensational savory bread pudding recipe. Ham, cheese, and egg is such a classic flavor blend, and it’s close to perfect when mixed with bread and custard.
If you want to take this to a whole other level, try using leftover croissants and adding a layer of béchamel sauce to create a faux Croque monsieur style dish!
33. Make-Ahead Breakfast Frittata Muffins
With the new year here, I am committed to making healthier choices in the mornings, but that takes some planning ahead.
These egg frittata muffins are just that: healthy choices that you can make ahead, so breakfast doesn’t have to take a backseat to a busy day.
My kids love these savory muffins, which are made with diced ham, breakfast potatoes, eggs, milk, cheese and red bell peppers.
32. Make-Ahead Frittata Squares with Spinach, Tomatoes, and Feta
Frittatas are usually cooked on top of the stove, and either flipped over in the skillet or finished in the oven. To make life easier, I’ve taken some liberties and eliminated the stovetop flipping step.
With this recipe, all the ingredients go into a baking dish and then straight into the oven. The preparation itself is quick – just quickly cook the filling ingredients and mix them into the eggs – while the time in the oven is a bit longer. Slow and gentle oven-cooking helps bring out the best texture in the frittata.
One other advantage of a baked frittata is that it can be made ahead, and individual squares can be reheated in the microwave for an easy grab-and-go breakfast. With eight servings from the pan, you have breakfast for the whole week!
This also makes a stellar make-ahead brunch recipe. Just add a salad, some crusty bread, and a bowl of fruit and you are ready to relax when guests arrive.
31. Make-Ahead Banana Nut Baked Oatmeal Cups
To make them easier to handle, try portioning into mini ramekins. Wrap and freeze them until you’re ready, then bake and serve right in the dish.
30. Banana Nut Overnight Oats With Walnuts
Because they’re so easy to make, overnight oats recipes have limitless opportunities for you to customize them the way you like them. I’ve made them just with cinnamon, raisins, and chia seeds, with peanut butter and chocolate, as a fresh peach cobbler, and also as this delicious banana nut overnight oats with walnuts recipe.
Oh my, the banana nut goodness that’s in this container right here.
29. Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats
After spending four relaxing days with my family in Kansas City, I’m struggling to say goodbye to the lazy days of summer.
28. Baked French Toast Casserole
I make a version of this at least once every couple of weeks.
I like to hoard my leftover bread until I have enough and then make this casserole ready for a decadent Sunday morning breakfast.
This recipe keeps it simple with bread, custard, and a spiced, sugary topping.
It’s honestly pretty perfect as is, but I’ll usually throw in some chocolate chips or soaked raisins if I have them. Why not?
27. Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars
One cracked tooth is all it takes to leave a scar!
26. Spinach and Bacon Quiche
I love how simple this recipe is. There’s no need to blanch the spinach. Just throw it in!
I highly recommend adding onions and good quality cheese, such as Gruyere.
25. Make-Ahead Fruit & Yogurt Breakfast Parfaits
The difference between this recipe and a typical overnight oat recipe is the amount of dairy.
Rather than adding just enough milk to soak into the oats, this parfait uses milk and yogurt, making them insanely creamy.
Not only that! These can be made up to three days ahead, making your week that much easier.
24. Freezer Breakfast Burritos – Perfect Make-ahead Recipe!
What’s better than a make-ahead breakfast sandwich full of sausage, egg, and cheese?
How about a burrito loaded with potato, scrambled eggs, refried beans, and cheese?
These babies are hot, filling, and the perfect way to fuel up first thing in the morning. And you can so easily change up the filling.
How about hash browns, bacon, and a handful of chopped jalapeños?
23. Apple Hand Pies – Christmas Breakfast Recipe!
You might not think about apple pies being for breakfast, but they’re full of fruit! Why shouldn’t they be?
These little hand pies are almost like round pop tarts, and you can easily make them with store-bought pie dough and canned pie filling.
22. Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Sweet Breakfast Bars
These breakfast bars are another fantastic on-the-go option. Creamy, dreamy, and perfectly sweet, they’re great warm or cold and travel so well.

I love each and every recipe I post, you guys know that. But lately, I feel like the recipes I’ve posted have been more than just “loved” – they’ve become family favorites that will be making front page appearances in the recipe binder I pass down to my grandkids.
Assuming hard copy recipe binders even exist then instead of belonging in a museum somewhere.

1. Rosti: Shredded Potato Christmas Breakfast Casserole with Ham and Eggs
Rösti is up there with fondue and raclette as one of Switzerland’s most iconic dishes. The traditional Swiss Rösti recipe is more like a pancake than a casserole. It’s made by pressing shredded potatoes into a cast iron skillet to form a cake, and cooking it in hot butter until it’s brown on the outside and soft inside. Back in the early 1800’s this was a common farmer’s breakfast – cooked over the fire in a wood stove.
