Easy Ideas for Breakfast Freezer Meals

These easy ideas for breakfast freezer meals are perfect for new moms. When you need a quick breakfast reach into your freezer stash and heat them up within seconds. 

If you’re a follower, you know that we are expecting our first baby girl within the next week or so. I have been doing everything possible to prepare myself for postpartum including meal prep. As a big breakfast fan, I came up with a few simple ideas to make my morning meal a little easier.. especially with baby in tow. Here are a few of my simple ideas to fill your freezer with yummy breakfast options.

5 Easy Breakfast Freezer Meals

1. Make-Ahead Veggie Egg Muffins

This is actually a recipe I posted a couple years ago when egg muffins were all the rage. They’re still a favorite of mine because you can throw in whatever leftover veggies you have in the fridge. To prepare for baby, I loaded mine with healthy greens (spinach and kale) and mushrooms. In order to freeze the muffins, allow them to cool completely, then add to a gallon size freezer bag and freeze flat. Then, to reheat, simply place one or two on a microwave safe plate and microwave for 60-90 seconds until heated through.

2. Blueberry Muffins

Okay, this is a super easy one. You can bake a box of blueberry muffins (use any flavor or recipe you like), allow them to cool, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, place them in a gallon freezer bag and freeze them flat. To reheat, allow them to thaw in the fridge overnight and microwave for 30-60 seconds.

3. Make Ahead Smoothie Packs

My husband loves to freeze individual bags of frozen fruit (blueberries, strawberries, bananas) for smoothies. It’s actually a great hack for when you have produce that is just a day or two from going bad. In the morning, Austin will add the frozen fruit to our bullet blender with yogurt, protein powder and either milk or juice. It is a super quick way to have a nutritious breakfast… but I’ve already warned him not to wake the baby 😉 I linked to another blog, The $5 Dinner Mom for easy instructions and more fruit combinations.

4. Miniature Pancake Stacks

Similar to the muffin idea, use your favorite pancake recipe (or a box mix) and double the recipe. Follow the recipe instructions but in order to make them “miniature”, only add 2-3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Once the pancakes are cooked, allow them to cool completely. Freeze in gallon size freezer bag in stacks of 3-4 pancakes (depends on how many you typically eat). To reheat, place a stack on a microwave safe plate and microwave for 20 seconds per pancake. Top with butter and syrup for a warm comfort food breakfast.

5. Breakfast Quesadillas

I have been obsessed with quesadillas this pregnancy. Give me all the cheese and salsa, please. This link is for a recipe from one of my favorite food bloggers, Erin at Well Plated. What I love about this recipe is that its chalk full of veggies and healthy ingredients for a nutritious breakfast on the go. Her post includes instructions for freezing and reheating.

I hope you enjoy these ideas! Feel free to leave your own in the comments section below!
