Overnight Oats
The best thing about overnight oats is the fact they’re easy for the kids to help you prepare the night before with no cooking required. The oats provide healthy, slow release energy, yoghurt or milk for calcium and you can add a variety of flavours to suit different preferences. You can even make things like this carrot cake overnight oat recipe so they can have dessert for breakfast!
Eggs Muffins
If your kids would love to start their morning with a cooked breakfast before school, try making a version of Starbucks favourite, egg bites. Using eggs as a base, these versatile bites can be flavoured with anything from traditional bacon to salmon or healthy veg. This egg muffin recipe can be frozen for up to three months and reheated in the microwave in just 2 to 3 minutes (or 10 to 12 minutes in an oven).
Cereal Bars
While most shop bought cereal bars are full of sugar, they are a quick, mostly mess free snack that keeps little tummies full. Why not make your own ahead of time and pack them full of the good stuff instead? These healthier kids cereal bars are packed with oats, banana, honey and seeds.
Pancakes
I love giving my little one pancakes as she’ll happily eat whatever fruit I add without even thinking about it! Make these banana pancakes ahead of time and freeze them for a quick morning meal any time.
Muffins
Yes, eating cake for breakfast isn’t the healthiest choice but what kid wouldn’t jump at the chance? Try these mini apple and banana muffins for a healthy twist and freeze any leftovers.
Burritos
For kids that love a savoury breakfast, pre-make breakfast burritos that can be frozen and reheated. Try this vegetarian version with peppers for one of their five (or is it seven now?) a day.
