33 Make Ahead Breakfasts for Back to School

Although coffee is the first thing I think about when it comes to Back to School season, next on the list is breakfast. Because no matter how much you plan ahead, it seems like the time flies by and before you know it, it's time to get everyone out the door.

This is true whether you are getting kids ready to go back to school or just getting back into a routine yourself after summer. The time flies. One thing that can save you in the morning is having healthy breakfast options ready to go.

Fill up the fridge or freezer with tasty, make-ahead breakfasts and it is one less thing to tackle in the morning.

Healthy Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches and Wraps

I am a huge fan of a good breakfast sandwich and am pretty much tempted on a daily basis to run into my local coffee shop for one of their yummy wraps. Unfortunately, that habit is tough for both my wallet and my waistline. Instead, I love to prepare these make ahead sandwiches that I can pull out of the freezer, toss in the microwave, and enjoy just a couple of minutes later. It's faster than stopping to buy something, tastes better, and is much more affordable.

Make Ahead Oatmeal Recipes

Oatmeal is a staple since it is something I can always count on to keep me full all morning. Plus it has so many health benefits, it's something I feel good about feeding myself and my family.

While oatmeal can be quick, sometimes it is still too much to do on a busy morning. That's why I love these oatmeal options that can be prepped on the weekend and enjoyed all week.

Freezer Pancakes and Waffles

I am definitely someone who could eat pancakes every day for breakfast and be a happy woman. They are a family tradition in our house on the weekends.

I always double the recipe and freeze the extras. After a couple of minutes in the microwave or a warm pan, they are ready to eat again and taste just as good. Usually, I top mine with nut butter or yogurt to squeeze in some extra protein and lots of fresh fruit.
