We all know how mornings can be a blur, the alarm rings, you rush through your routine, and suddenly, you’re out the door with nothing but coffee to hold you over until lunch.
Been there, done that. But let me tell you, starting the day with a real breakfast? Game-changing.
A few years ago, I made a simple switch, instead of skipping breakfast (or grabbing whatever was leftover on the counter), I started meal-prepping make-ahead breakfasts.
The difference? More energy, better focus, and fewer mid-morning crashes. And the best part? It doesn’t have to be complicated.
That’s why I put together these 14 easy, work-friendly breakfast ideas, a full two-week plan of meals you can prep ahead, grab on the go, and actually look forward to eating.
From protein-packed egg muffins to creamy overnight oats and freezer-friendly burritos, these breakfasts are here to make your mornings smoother and your workdays better.
So if you’re tired of starting your day on an empty stomach, give these make-ahead breakfasts a try. Your future self will thank you!
Pulsing rolled oats with eggs, banana, brown sugar and oil creates the moist dough of these chocolaty muffins without a bit of all-purpose flour. These are two-bite muffins with a dense and gooey texture. They’re delicately sweet and rich, too, so baking them as mini muffins makes them a perfect snack or quick morning bite.
Ready for Busy Mornings with These Ham, Cheddar, and Green Chile Egg Bites!
Your future self will thank you for making a batch of these cheesy, zesty egg bites—it’s the quickest and most delicious way to streamline busy mornings.
Our easy overnight oats recipe helps you prepare a healthy make-ahead breakfast ready for busy mornings. Follow the directions for soaking the oats in your choice of milk in the refrigerator. Then enjoy with our suggested toppings or your favorite fresh or dried fruit, nuts, and seeds.
Our easy Cinnamon-Raisin Biscuits are perfect for a weekend breakfast. They’re similar to the Hardee’s biscuits introduced in the 1980s, but they’re of course a bit fresher and better for that homemade flavor.
This mini quiche recipe uses classic Provençal flavors–garlic, oil-cured olives, anchovies, caramelized onions–to season these very-green egg cups. They keep well, perfect for breakfast on the fly, but the flavors are sophisticated enough to serve for brunch. If you frequently make mini quiches, consider investing in silicone mini muffin tins; they make popping these out a dream!
