The lazy afternoons and unhurried mornings of summer are drifting away away from us, and with them the simple pleasure of a sit-down breakfast. But all hope's not lost.
While the not-enough-time-in-the-day feeling is returning with a vengeance for fall, not every breakfast needs to be an hour-long pancake-and-eggs affair. With a little prep work, you can enjoy a real breakfast every day of the week before (or while) you rush off to work, school, or whatever responsibilities await you.
We rounded up Pinterest’s most popular make-ahead breakfast recipes to make your morning routine that much easier—and tastier.
1. On-the-go egg bites that will make you forget about Starbucks
Eggs are the perfect food, and they can be done a lot of different ways—but if you’re in a hurry, these quick egg muffins are the way to go. They combine all your favorite omelette ingredients (spinach, bacon, cheese, you name it) into convenient little packages that can be prepped in advance and quickly reheated. Store them in an airtight container like one from this Glasslock set, our top choice for storage containers.

2. An easy baked oatmeal that reheats like a champ
While a big pot of slow-cooked, steel-cut oats is perfect for cool weekend mornings, nobody has that kind of time on a Tuesday. This easy baked oatmeal loaded with berries can be prepared on Sunday night and eaten throughout the week. If you don’t want to make a full casserole dish, try baking in individual muffin cups to make the oatmeal even faster and more portable.

3. A lemony fresh twist on a childhood favorite
Kids love the gooey, sticky goodness of pull-apart monkey bread, but this version substitutes the cinnamon sugar spice with some lemon freshness, making it a bright treat to start their days. Need a new way to bake? Try our favorite Dutch oven from Staub, which narrowly beat out the Le Creuset in our testing.
