Quick + Easy breakfast ideas

Breakfastis one of my favorite meals of the day! Well, breakfast foods in general are.

Whether you eat breakfast in the morning or have breakfast for dinner (AKA “brinner”), I’ve put together a list of my favorite Easy Breakfast Recipes (that are quick too!)

More often than not, we don’t have time in the morning to make a fancy breakfast—especially on weekdays before school!

Fortunately, many breakfast foods can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer to make a busy morning easier (see the individual recipes for more information).

All of the recipes below are some of our favorite quick and easy breakfast ideas.

Tips for making breakfast easier

There are a few practices that you can implement to help in serving healthier breakfasts and they all tie back to one thing – a Menu Plan.

Menu Plan:I like to have a master list of our favorite breakfasts. I factor in how much time I have in the morning, how much time the different recipes take to make, and if a recipe can be made ahead of time.

From there I determine which one will work best on each day.

年代ome other considerations include:

• Freeze.There are many breakfast items that can bekept in the freezer likePancakes,年代weet and Savory Casseroles,Quick Breads, and more. All you have to do is heat them up and eat.
• Go shoppingso that you have ALL the ingredients you’ll need for the week.
• Assemble overnight casseroles and refrigerate.All you have to do is pop them in the oven while you’re getting ready.
• Double up.We may not like eating the same breakfast each day, but we don’t mind eating the same thing 2-3 different times a week.
• Cut any fruit the night beforeand keep it in the fridge.

Kid-friendly breakfasts

Breakfast meals easy enough for kids to make.

Cereals are convenient and easy. Kids love it and can prepare a bowl for themselves. Unfortunately, many kinds of cereal are so unhealthy you might as well eat a bag of candy.

With a little bit of initial effort, teach your kids how to make a healthy, easy breakfast all on their own.

• Choose recipes that only need a few ingredients and only have a few steps.Once you have taught your child how to prepare the meal, write it down in simple steps (to not forget any parts of the recipe).年代crambled Eggs,Breakfast Smoothies,Yogurt Parfait, instant oatmeal, overnight oats, avocado toast, greek yogurt with granola, bagels, and toast are all easy meals kids can learn to prepare on their own.
• Have pre-made meals in the freezerso that all they have to do is microwave them or put them in a toaster oven. Some favorite recipes includeBreakfast Burritos,Waffles,Cinnamon Rolls, andBreakfast Sandwiches.
• You know your kids.One child may be capable of using the stove at 8 years old while another may not be ready until they are 10. Make a list for each child with ideas that they have been taught and are allowed to make on their own.
