Breakfast recipes that are great for making ahead

I love to have healthy options for the family. Here are some of my favorite recipe types that work well for making ahead.

Muffins: From Morning Glory muffins, to mixed berry muffins, blueberry muffins, and zucchini muffins, there’s something for everyone. See all of our muffin recipes here.

Overnight Oats: With a variety of flavors and ingredients, overnight oats are always a welcome addition to the breakfast routine! Favorites in our house include peanut butter banana overnight oats and peach overnight oats. In the summer, it’s all about strawberry overnight oats, and in the fall, I’ll never pass up pumpkin overnight oats!

Granola: Always a favorite for not only breakfast but snacks throughout the day. From grab-and-go granola bars to healthy granola with dried fruit for morning yogurt toppings or smoothies.

Egg Bites: Always a favorite, egg bites are so convenient to have ready to go for quick and healthy breakfasts or snacks. Here are some of our favorites:
