It’s that time again…
No, not THAT time.
Back to school. Even if you don’t have kids you’re trying to hustle out the door, you probably have to leave a little earlier thanks to the additional school traffic.
I’m blogging over at Farmer Direct today with 5 Make Ahead Back-to-School Breakfast Ideas. It’s round up of ideas from fellow bloggers… a few even involve oats in a crockpot. Who knew THAT was possible?!
Check out the post, and enter the GIVEAWAY. Free oats from Farmer Direct, plus free milk from Organic Valley! Because the only thing better than breakfast is FREE breakfast. 😉
However, if a warm breakfast isn’t enough to get your day started, I recommend the coffee.

I’m personally using these ideas because I’m about to have another breakfast to make… my sister is moving to San Diego and in with us!
What did you eat for breakfast as a kid? My mom used to bake fresh bread… it was divine.
What’s your favorite make ahead breakfast?
Kate says
I love these for me!
Laura says
Right?! Who needs kids to have a yummy breakfast? 😉
lindsay Cotter says
fresh bread? gah.. i had fruit loops.
YAY SISTER!
Laura says
If we BEGGED we got trashy cereal. I won’t tell you about the French toast mom used to deliver to my bathroom with Cuban coffee… SO SPOILED!
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape says
Breakfast as a kid – cereal, cereal and more cereal…
My favourite make ahead brekkie is crockpot oats – so easy to make a batch at the beginning of the week and then heat up and add toppings when needed!
Laura says
I can’t believe I’ve never made oats in the crockpot… it’s going to be happening very soon!
Emily says
Ooh make ahead breakfasts are my favorite, when I have my brain in one place. :o) Going over there now to read!

As a kid my mom would make these amazing breakfast tortillas – eggs, ham, cheese, wrapped in a tortilla then toasted just a bit to melt the cheese…we only got those once in a while on special days and they were my favorites!
Laura says
Totally agree with you on the oats! Those tortillas you mom made sound fabulous too though!
Susie @ Suzlyfe says
I was impossible to get to eat breakfast as a kid. Oh, how the tables have turned.
In 5th grade I had 2 rice krispies treats (until I had a reaction to one). Later on it was the giant goldfish cracker sandwiches. I was a treat. Literally.
Laura says
That is amazing. Really… WTF is a goldfish sandwich?

GiGi Eats says
FUCKKK – I feel sorry for all those going back to school. I am NOT envious at all. HATED SCHOOL so so so so so much! HA!
Laura says
Right?! I actually liked college and beyond, but middle school and high school… NO THANK YOU.
Smitha @ Running with SD Mom says
Now I have to meet your sister too!
Laura says
Yes! She’s a big runner!
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
I am an eggs for breakfast girl! I love to make fritatta and eat it for a few days.
Laura says
Ok… so I try to may frittatas for the week, but by the end of they day they’re magically all gone! Oops….
Heather McClees says
You know I love this! Great post idea too, so timely! 🙂

Thanks friend! You can make me some in 30 days. Mwhahahaha!
Kat says
Love oats so much! I need to try those oat muffins and overnight oats (first and last time I made mine was a fail and ready to try again 🙂 ) thanks for sharing, will share this on twitter!

Sonali- The Foodie Physician says
I can’t believe it’s already almost back to school time!! Thanks for sharing all of these great recipes, I’m totally craving that Raspberry Baked Oatmeal 🙂

Let me know if you try that raspberry baked oatmeal – it’s one of my longest-running go-tos!
Elizabeth Shaw says
Um, I need that MUG! Holy cow, did you get it in SD?
Laura says
I wish! I just found it on IG.
Rachel @ Delicious Balance says
Breakfast as a kid was toast with butter and jelly. Fav make-ahead breakfast now is baked oatmeal!
Matt says
Caramel apple overnight oat smoothie? Um, yes.
That’s actually the second time in 2 days that someone has sent me to Running with Spoons blog so now I’ve added to my list, so thanks for that. I think everything in this roundup sounds great but as a smoothie guy I know which one I’m starting with. haha
