Mornings during weekdays are chaotic. Everyone is running around, trying to get their things in order before school or office – or both. Every second counts, every minute is valuable. A healthy, fulfilling breakfast seems like a far-fetched concept for such days. Luckily, I found a way around this dilemma – make-ahead breakfasts! Prep either a part or the whole of the meal the night before and enjoy a full, hearty meal with minimum effort the very next morning.

A day before a busy morning, just cook up some fresh blueberry sauce. While you wait for it to cool, prepare an oat mixture in milk. Prepare as many layers of oat mixture with blueberry sauce as you want, and keep them overnight. All you have to do in the morning is grab a spoon and munch away.

Tortilla Quiche
Tortilla is a pantry staple in many households. If you have a tortilla in hand, you can substitute it in place of a pie crust if you are craving a sudden quiche. It tastes just as good and stores even better. Just make it overnight and reheat in the morning for some wholesome tortilla goodness as breakfast. Full Recipe: Easy Tortilla Quiche
Banana Oatmeal Muffins
Muffins are great if you want something meal-prepped for breakfast. These banana oatmeal muffins combine the sweet richness of bananas with classic chocolate chips and the nutty texture of oats. Bonus points go to the fact that children (without any exception) love them, and another bonus is that these only take one bowl, so no extra dishes (Yay!).

Chocolate-Baked Oats

Bacon and Leek Quiche
Quiche is best served hot, and equally best served cold or reheated. That’s right! If you make a bacon and leek quiche the night before and store it in the refrigerator, you can easily reheat it in the morning and have a fulfilling breakfast even if you are running late for work.

Breakfast Parfaits
Yogurt, fruit, and granola – this has all the ingredients for a perfectly balanced and healthy breakfast. For meal prep, you can layer the yogurt with fresh fruit the night before and drizzle some maple syrup before storing it in the refrigerator. Just sprinkle some granola before you start eating for some extra nutty crunch. Full Recipe: Breakfast Parfaits
