Breakfast might be the most important meal of the day, but it’s also the most rushed. But instead of starting your morning with a cold cup of coffee and a leftover slice of pizza, you can plan ahead and have balanced breakfasts for all those days when you need to grab-and-go.
These 12 make-ahead breakfasts will help you power through your morning with healthy, whole food ingredients. Some are from our sister site Hello Veggie. Not following Hello Veggie? You should be! Get a weekly update sent straight to your inbox or see what’s cooking on Instagram.
12 Make-Ahead Breakfast Ideas
1. Coco-Mango Overnight Oats
Nope, we’re not over overnight oats yet–especially this naturally sweetened tropical version made with plenty of ripe mango.
2. Flaxseed Banana Bread
Slather on a generous smear of almond butter and top with some fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey and you’ve got the perfect on-the-go breakfast. (And if you’re a blueberry fan, try this Coconut Milk Blueberry Banana Bread too!)
3. Gluten-Free Parsnip Morning Glory Blender Muffins
Pop all the ingredients in a blender, give it a whirl, and pour into muffin tins. So ridiculously easy! And if you’re not a fan of parsnips, you can use carrots instead.
4. Breakfast Pep ‘n’ Power Bars
You gotta love the fact that these bars have espresso in them, letting you get your caffeine fix and your breakfast in one convenient bar.
5. Almond Chocolate Chunk Coconut Breakfast Cookies
Is there a better way to start the day than with a decadent chocolate cookie? I don’t think so!

Recently, I are just looking for some recipes for breakfast. I love these recipes. Especailly, I like the Breakfast Pep ‘n’ Power Bars. I will try it. Thanks.
All the make ahead breakfasts look great but how do you get the recipes? Usually you click on the highlit name and it takes you to a recipe but it dims the name but no recipe. Help!!
This all looks so tasty! For me, especially banana bread. I fell in love with it last summer and still make it occasionally. Always try to find some new recipes and variations with new ingredients. Muffins also look great, and I’ll definitely try them as well!
