Take the guess work out of breakfast and stock your freezer with a variety of make-ahead favorites. These Weekday Breakfasts You Can Bake Ahead will set you and your family up for breakfast success in a matter of minutes. Thanks to freezing and reheating directions, you can enjoy recipes like whole wheat pancakes, homemade bagels, and more all week long.
Let’s face it—mornings can be hectic! Especially if you’re running late and/or trying to usher kids out the door.
That’s why my team and I are sharing 10 Weekday Breakfasts You Can Bake Ahead. Each of the recipes below can be frozen so that you can make a batch in advance and re-heat when needed. Pick a few of these recipes and you’ll have a freezer stash ready to go.
Muffins are a crowd-favorite way to start the day. With my ultimate muffin recipe (pictured above), you can pick and choose your flavors and add-ins. My team and I tested tons of combinations, so I’m confident you’ll find a winning flavor for your family.
For a protein-packed option, try my breakfast egg muffins or easy make-ahead breakfast casserole. Both are highly customizable to your family’s favorite vegetables, cheeses, meats, and seasonings. They freeze and reheat wonderfully, so you can enjoy eggs quickly in the morning without breaking out the frying pan. Add in a batch of maple chicken breakfast sausages to round out the meal.
If oats are a breakfast staple in your home, breakfast cookies or apple cinnamon oatmeal cups are great for on-the-go. Or a batch of granola clusters or blueberry almond power muffins double as breakfast and a nutritious snack.
New to freezing baked goods? I include freezing recommendations in the Notes section of each of my recipes. This Make-Ahead Baking post is also full of freezing and thawing tips, how-tos, and more favorite recipes to make ahead. I also have a list of Freezer Meals with meal suggestions.
