Easy make ahead breakfast recipes

Are you a meal planner? I haven't always been a great meal planner, but I'm getting better at it! Especially when there's company.

Pull Apart Sticky Buns with Frozen Bread Dough, Homemade Danish Rolls or an Easy Frittata are always great choices! Having some go-to or make ahead breakfast recipes are a life saver!

Here's why it's important (for me)... anytime I walk in the store - whether it's for one item or five, I will spend no less than $50 bucks. And if I have a list then the price really goes up!

Have you ever had groceries delivered? That's a great way to keep me out of the grocery store. Some people say that it's expensive. I say keeping me out of the grocery store saves $'s.

Can anyone else relate?

Please tell me I'm not alone!

Make ahead morning meals that reheat and store well!

  • Quick Breads
  • Muffins
  • Pancakes
  • Waffles
  • Granola

Making a batch of Texas Roadhouse Butter to have on hand to slather on the breads, muffins, pancakes, and waffles is always a hit!

Reheating and Food Storage Tips

  • How to reheat quick breads: Slice them before freezing and wrap individually, then put them in a ziplock bag, squeezing out excess air. I recommend dropping sliced bread into the toaster for reheating.
  • Reheating egg muffins: Best to defrost at room temperature and then microwave to reheat. Don't over-do it or they will get tough and chewy.
  • Reheating pancakes and waffles: Waffles also reheat best in the toaster! Pancakes I suggest microwaving to reheat, again being careful not to over-do it.
  • Granola - store in ziplock bags, squeezing the air out of the bags. Store in the freezer.  Surprisingly granola will keep better in the freezer than the pantry!
