Last school year Devin ate Cheerio’s most mornings, which he loved having, but this year I wanted to try to do a tad better since I only have 1 kid to send off to school afterall.

So here are some ideas I’m trying out:

- Biscuits

Make a big batch of whole wheat biscuits (I use half all purpose & half whole wheat flour) and freeze most of them to use during the week.

I try to take a couple out the night before to thaw and then put them in the toaster the next morning. It’s nice to have something a little special, yet still super quick to serve with either eggs, peanut butter, fruit slices, or what have you.

- Mini pancakes

Make a batch of whole wheat mini pancakes to freeze (I keep them in a big Ziplock bag) and pop ‘em in the toaster as needed. Consider adding blueberries, bananas, apples, ground flaxseed, wheat germ, raisins, etc. to your batch.

- Oats & yogurt

This is a stable in our house, but what I started doing for the little ones is ‘soaking’ the oats with yogurt the night before (usually after dinner dishes) and that way they can just grab their bowl the next morning on their own. This has been a big help for Wesley who usually wakes up starving! He loves being able to get his breakfast right away without having to ask for help.

 What are your favorite quick breakfasts?
