It’s here. The final few weeks (days?) of summer vacation. As we get caught up in the school supply shopping, the back to school meetings, and the first-day firsts, it’s good to have a plan in place that helps ease the morning rush. If you want to change it up from cereal for breakfast, I’ve got 5 make ahead breakfast ideas that will help you save time, eat healthy, and arrive on time.
5 Make Ahead Breakfast Ideas
These Peanut Butter Protein Cookies use our Gluten Free Quick Rolled Oats and our Vanilla Protein Powder for added protein and fiber. They’re dense and chewy on the inside with a crispy crunchy exterior. Recruit some tiny kitchen helpers to assist with the pouring and stirring - especially with the chocolate chips. Sub in almond, sunflower, or your favorite nut butter to fit your dietary needs. These protein cookies store well in an airtight container for an easy breakfast snack.
Easy Overnight Steel Cut Oats with Almond Milk and Honey
Steel Cut Oats are packed with protein and fiber—enough to keep you full and focused through lunch. This over night oats recipe uses our Steel Cut Oats, almond milk, vanilla extract, honey, and antioxidant filled chia seeds. Simply mix up your ingredients the night before in a container, store in the fridge, and grab on your way out the door. Enjoy the oats creamy and cold or pop in the microwave for a soothing and hearty breakfast any night of the week.
Note: Eating raw oats is generally safe, but may cause digestive issues or increase the risk of foodborne illness.
This make-ahead breakfast pulls out all the stops; creamy polenta, whisked eggs, and three types (!) of cheese are mixed together and baked for a decadent morning meal. Add some extra protein by way of cooked sausage or your favorite veggies.
Similar to the Overnight Steel Cut Oats, you can mix together your favorite toppings and flavors with cooked quinoa the night before for easy grab and go in the morning. Quinoa for breakfast? No, we're not crazy! Quinoa is a super neutral but nutrient dense option for the morning. A serving of quinoa has 5 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. Take it savory with an egg, spinach, and bacon or sweet with yogurt and your favorite berries and seeds.
5 Ingredient Gluten Free Waffles
Want the convenience of frozen waffles but don’t like all their added ingredients? Mix together these gluten free waffles with only 5 ingredients and freeze them in a single layer. Once frozen, store in a ziplock bag in the freeze. In the morning just pop them in the toaster for a quick, simple, and healthy breakfast!
