Breakfast doesn’t have to be a rush. Try these make-ahead breakfast recipes to make breakfast stress-free while still eating delicious food.

I’m not really a morning person. I’m learning to use them better and not hate them as much but I still am not a fan. Planning the night before is more my thing.

I haven’t even been a big breakfast eater, a cup of hot tea will keep me pretty happy. However, studies keep showing that breakfast is important so I’m trying to eat at least a small breakfast. Lately, I’ve just been making a piece of toast and heating up a couple of Applegate chicken and apple sausage, which is delicious but you need variety.

I’m starting to work on more breakfast foods I can make ahead. Something I can pop in the toaster oven, while some water is boiling for my tea, and get my cat his breakfast is the best option for me.

With everyone being so busy these days there are some really great make-ahead breakfast options showing up. It used to seem like breakfast burritos were your only option and that’s fine if you enjoy eggs, I don’t. Now there are all kinds of delicious recipes out there! No more cereal or eating the same food over and over.

    These look great, and I love make-ahead breakfasts because I am NOT in the mood to do much at 6:30 a.m. when I haven’t even finished my coffee! I definitely want to try the healthy breakfast cookies. My kids would be thrilled if I told them they were having cookies for breakfast. 🙂
