Around here, we certainly don't boast hot, well-prepared breakfasts every morning of the week, but when cold cereal is getting old (or, ahem, is all gone), these are a few of my favorite go-to breakfast recipes.
Many of the recipes have a make-ahead or overnight option so that breakfast is easy and stress-free even on busy school mornings.
#1 Fluffy Baked Pancakes
There is definitely something extraordinarily brilliant about spreading pancake batter in a pan and baking it. These baked pancakes are fluffy, delicious and easy.
#2 Easy Overnight Amish-Style Baked Oatmeal
This easy overnight oatmeal is one of our most-made breakfasts (and easily one of my kids' favorites). I quickly throw it together the night before and bake it the next morning. The leftovers are delicious, too!
#3 Overnight Raised Waffles
The batter for these waffles is prepped the night before and refrigerated. When cooked the next morning, the waffles are so light and fluffy!
#4 Quick Yeasted Waffles
For a quicker version of the raised waffle recipe above, this speedy variation gives you the same incredible texture without having to plan ahead (or if you forget to plan ahead like me!).
#5 Make-Ahead Overnight Tater Tot Egg Casserole
Our favorite breakfast casserole! This one is deliciously hearty and can be refrigerated to bake later OR baked right away.
Stephanie commented: As someone who doesn't really enjoy eggs or casseroles I actually loved this. This recipe is more than the sum of its parts and my husband said it was one his top ten fave things I've ever made (and I cook a LOT). Amazing, easy recipe that is going in our regular rotation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#6 Easy Freezer Breakfast Burritos
Using the base of the breakfast casserole above (with a few modifications), these freezer breakfast burritos are so yummy! And they might be one of the easiest breakfasts on this list since they are prepped, frozen and ready to heat up in the microwave or oven.
#7 Super Healthy Chocolate Protein Smoothie that Doesn't Taste Like Grass
This chocolate protein smoothie is a worthy breakfast all on its own - and it is mighty delicious!
A recent comment from CJB: We LOVE this smoothie and have it anywhere from breakfast to snacks to dinner with hamburgers (and pretend it's a chocolate milkshake ha). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#8 Instant Pot Oatmeal
Let's talk about my love for oatmeal made in the Instant Pot (or other electric pressure cooker). 💗 This banana bread version is so hearty and so delicious! So is this double chocolate version. And this creamy coconut milk version.
#9 Crunchy Baked French Toast Sticks
These crunchy baked French toast sticks take French toast to a whole new (delicious) level! Easy to make, they're crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and VERY yummy.
#10 Egg and Veggie "Muffins"
We love these protein-packed egg and veggie "muffins!" They can be made-ahead and refrigerated or frozen to reheat quickly in the microwave or oven. A fantastic grab-and-go breakfast option!
#11 Fluffy Overnight Buttermilk Pancakes
Another great overnight breakfast recipe, these fluffy overnight pancakes are next-level delicious!
Amy commented: These came out great! – perfectly fluffy! I used half whole wheat & half white flour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#12 Make-Ahead Refrigerator Bran Muffins
Another huge favorite around here, these bran muffins are a tried-and-true recipe from my mom (I ate them all the time growing up!). The batter can be made and kept in the fridge for days so you can bake the muffins when you need them. The baked and cooled mufifns freeze great, too!
#13 Peanut Butter and Honey Banana Muffins
Speaking of muffins, these PB honey and banana muffins are exceptional! They can be baked, cooled and frozen...but they are pretty darn easy to whip up when you want them. Nothing beats a fresh-from-the-oven muffin.
#14 Honey Almond Granola
One of our go-to snacks and breakfasts is granola and Greek yogurt (sometimes berries, too, if they haven't gotten wrinkly in the fridge yet!). This honey almond granola is fabulous! It keeps well in the pantry for several weeks.
#15 Whole Wheat Blender Pancakes
These blender pancakes are 100% whole grain and so light and tender and tasty. They are thinner than many other pancakes, and we love them for that reason. A favorite for us!
For even more breakfast inspiration, here you go!
