It isn’t much of a secret that I’m not a morning person. The promise of coffee is just about the only thing that gets me out from under the covers (OK, the promise of coffee and the fact that I need to get my butt into the office. But mostly coffee.) If I don’t prepare my breakfast the night before, chances are I’ll leave the house without one. Luckily there are tons of make-ahead breakfast recipes out there. I love taking a few extra minutes on Sunday night to make something that can last the whole week. That way, I can grab it and go without worrying about anything more time-consuming than a quick trip to the microwave.
Below, you’ll find 20 delicious make-ahead breakfast recipes – healthy options packed with whole grains, savory bites, and sweet pastries. No matter what your breakfast preference is, you’ll be sure to find a new favorite!

If I had a say I would just get up early to cook breakfast.

How about breakfast real people want. Not trendy and untasty stuff?
Lauren Keating says
I don’t think these are particularly trendy, and they are super tasty and different which most people appreciate. What kinds of recipes do you want to see through? Let me know and I’ll see what I can do!

Maybe something with some meat it in
Lauren Keating says
Meat is tricky for make-ahead meals, but a few of these (like the taquitos) so have meat in them
