Mornings can be chaotic, whether you're getting kids ready for school, going to work or just heading out to run errands. In the rush, you might be tempted to skip breakfast. But a delicious and nutritious breakfast doesn't have to take a lot of time. With a little planning and some great recipes, you can be ready to fuel your morning even when life gets busy. Here is a collection of recipes that are easy to make, budget-friendly and packed with nutrients to keep you energized throughout the day.

Prepare ahead

Here are some breakfast ideas that you can prepare in advance and enjoy on the go:

  • Baked goods are perfect to make ahead of time and store in an airtight container. They make a great grab-and-go option. Try Baked Oatmeal Cups, Rhubarb Muffins or Banana Oatmeal Bread. Serve alongside yogurt or cottage cheese and fruit to make it a meal.
  • Overnight Oatmeal is quick and easy to prepare the night before. Simply combine the ingredients and put them in the fridge overnight. Breakfast will be ready and delicious the next morning. Try your favorite toppings like fresh or frozen fruit, nuts or nut butter.
  • Breakfast Burritos can be made fresh or enjoyed as leftovers. Prepare your burritos and wrap them in parchment paper. Store in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just reheat to enjoy.
  • Veggie Quiche Muffins are a protein-packed breakfast. Bake a big batch and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Simply reheat the next morning for a quick and easy breakfast.
  • Pancakes are easy to make with ingredients you may already have on hand. Prepare our easy Master Mix Pancakes recipe and keep it in the fridge. You can customize with your favorite mix-ins.
