Back to School: Breakfast Foods

Love it? Share it!

No matter what type schooling you do back to school can get a little hectic. New routines and schedules mean you can get easily thrown off. Some ways I have found to help eliminate the busy morning or evening stress are to PREPARE! Here are some ways I make morning smoother along with my favorite recipes.

Muffins and Breads

Before school starts or even after, make a double batch of muffins. Freeze them for easy breakfasts or lunch additions. Put in refrigerator to thaw the night before or microwave for 30 seconds.

• Chocolate Banana Muffins
• Carob Zucchini Muffins {Egg-Free}
• Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
• Blueberry Corn Muffins {Gluten-Free}
• Scrumptious Pineapple Carrot Muffins
• Pumpkin Cornbread – just bake in wrappers for 15-20 minutes

Pre-make waffles and pancakes – heat in the oven, toaster or microwave.

• I use a Betty Crocker Cookbook (10th Edition) recipe with half whole wheat flour in place of the white.
• Sue’s Oatmeal Blender Pancakes/Waffles

Oatmeal

Make baked oatmeal the night before or ahead of time and freeze and re-heat or make Slow-Cooker Oatmeal.

•  Baked Zucchini Oatmeal
• Clementine Cranberry Baked Oatmeal
• Alton Brown’s Overnight Oatmeal

Eggs

• Dice and saute veggies the night before and you have loaded scrambled eggs in no time at all.
• Fry eggs with the lid on for over hard – done in 5 minutes or so.
• Hard boil eggs ahead of time then serve on toast.
• Make an egg casserole the night before and re-heat in the morning.
• Serve scrambled eggs in a pita

Sweet Treats ahead of time

• Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
• Bargain Breakfast Coffee Cake
• Too Sweet to Be an Apple Scone – make ahead and warm
