Back to School - Make Ahead Breakfast Ideas
School is back in session and busy mornings are in full swing. If you are trying to feed your kids something more than just a cold bowl of cereal, try these ideas out. It does take some planning ahead and some time up front, but once your stash is full, you’ll have breakfast options for days. Then, your kids just select what they want to eat, you heat it up in the toaster oven, and you’re serving up a warm breakfast in minutes.
Buttermilk Waffles
There’s nothing like a hot homemade waffle to start the day. These are simple to make and freeze beautifully. The recipe makes about 20 waffles. To serve, take them out of the freezer, pop it into the toaster oven for a few minutes, and you’ll have a warm and crispy waffle for breakfast!

Protein Rich Egg Cups
These are a great protein packed breakfast option. While they don’t store in the freezer, they do hold up for a few days in the refrigerator. Make a batch on Sunday night and you’re good to go for the five-day school or work week. Just heat one up in the microwave and you’ve got an omelet in minutes.

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
My daughter eats these every morning for breakfast. She pops two frozen muffins into the toaster oven for two minutes, and then she enjoys a banana muffin with gooey chocolate chips. The texture is similar to banana bread, but its just in muffin form so its easier to transport.

Homemade Pop Tarts
Every kid loves Pop Tarts. But not every parent loves all the additives in them. Make these Homemade Pop Tarts and feel better about what your kids are having for breakfast. Throw them in the freezer and keep a stash of them. Take one out the night before and let it come to room temperature overnight. It will be ready to go for breakfast the next morning.
