Easy Back to School Breakfast Recipes

I can’t believe it’s already that time of year again. Back to school and back to a new routine which means sleepy kids, busy mornings, and breakfast on the go. I think we can all agree that the hustle and bustle of the morning routine can leave us all feeling a bit rushed and short on time. But not every morning has to start with cold cereal and frozen toaster waffles.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I like to make sure my kiddos are nourished with a warm, homemade meal before they head out the door at the crack of dawn. If you’re anything like me, you might also be hitting that snooze button a few extra times hoping for just ten extra minutes of sleep.

I’ve got just the ticket to save the day with a round up of my favorite breakfast recipes that take just a few minutes to whip together before the house begins to stir. Or, make them ahead the night before and grab-and-go on your way out the door! With these easy back to school breakfast recipes in your back pocket, your weekday mornings will be smooth sailing.
