The Easiest School Morning Breakfasts

I can barely get my kids dressed on school mornings. So breakfast? Good luck. School morning breakfasts have to be the easiest of the easy.

Last year I shared a basic plan for how to make breakfasts simple on school mornings (no matter if your kids school at home or away). I’m reworking these ideas and reposting them because these ideas come in so handy!

Basically, to save me from having to think too hard, I have created a basic breakdown of what I now make or serve each weekday:

Monday – Muffins
Tuesday  – Toast
Wednesday – Oatmeal
Thursday – Eggs
Friday – Granola or Cereal
WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS – Protein Bars (because some days there’s no time to stop and eat so I have to send the kids out the door with one of these)

With this skeleton plan, I can now make fun adaptations each weekday to keep our menu fresh and fun! (I save pancakes or waffles or other special breakfast ideas for Saturdays.) :) And now I will give you more specifics about how this works for us…

The Easiest School Morning Breakfasts

Monday – Muffins

I can choose from these 40 recipes so that Mondays are never boring. I shall call this “Muffin Monday” because cuteness in the kitchen is underrated.

Tuesday – Toast

Let’s hear it for “Toast Tuesday.” Though now I have to admit, my cute names for days of the week have now run out. Anyway though, we can make this Stir and Pour Bread (or buy bread from the store, can I get an amen?) and then top it however we like. Peanut butter and honey is a favorite for most of us.

Wednesday – Oatmeal

I try to keep this Homemade Instant Oatmeal on hand, but I often now splurge and buy these too. Either way, this makes for a fast breakfast!

Thursday – Eggs

We mostly prefer scrambled cheesy eggs, but occasionally we’ll fry them. I love how easy eggs are to make. And all my kids love them and eat them so well.

Friday – Granola or Cereal

We like different kinds of homemade granola like:

  • Dark Chocolate Almond Granola
  • Easy Basic Homemade Granola
  • Granola ~ 5-Minute Stop-Top Version
  • Peanut Butter Honey Granola

Or, I can make these Homemade Chewy Granola Bars for a fun change of pace. Or I buy granola or cereal at Costco to keep on hand for quick breakfasts. If I have these Giant Breakfast Cookies in the freezer, even better!

Always serve fruit

Fruit at breakfast is a given at our house. So with all of the above day-of-the-week breakfast ideas, everyone can choose what fruit they like best. I try to keep a variety on hand, depending on what is in season. Our favorites for breakfast are:

  • Applesauce
  • Blueberries
  • Apples
  • Oranges/Clementines
  • Bananas
  • Pears
  • Strawberries

What do your school morning breakfasts look like?
