The first days of school can feel hectic enough. There are lunches to be made, homework to be done, and one way or another, dinner has to get on the table. Breakfast can feel like an afterthought. And while it's tempting (and totally acceptable) to add a banana to your kids' favorite cereal and call it a morning, many next-level breakfasts can be made ahead of time and eaten on demand (or with just a few minutes in the oven). Keep scrolling for 15 healthy-ish recipes for school mornings that kids will gladly eat.
Breakfast Quesadilla
Freezer instructions make this filling breakfast quesadilla a cinch to heat up on busy mornings, and with an absence of spicy ingredients, picky eaters will love this borrowed-from-dinner take on the classic bacon, egg, and cheese. (via The Modern Proper)
Giant Strawberries 'n’ Cream Pop Tart
Sure, Pop-Tarts out of a box may be the easiest school-morning breakfast. But if you're going to make your own, this sheet-pan-size one is much simpler than forming individual pastries. Plus, it trades many of the processed ingredients for fresh strawberries and maple syrup. (via Half-Baked Harvest)
Korean Egg Bread
These muffin-tin egg breads inspired by the Korean street food are a little sweet, a little savory, and totally customizable. Add Parmesan, cheddar, spinach, bacon, or kale to the top — or nothing at all. They're delicious on their own. (via Brit+Co)
Blueberry Almond Butter Smoothie
Almond butter gives this blue beauty a dose of protein that makes it filling enough to count as breakfast while banana, almond milk, and flax and chia seeds pack it with even more nutrients. (via Minimalist Baker)
Extra Fluffy Sheet-Pan Pancakes
Ditch individual pancakes for a single large one with this fruit-packed sheet-pan recipe. Feel free to add whatever fruit you have on hand or try chocolate chips, sprinkles, or bacon. (via Life, Love and Sugar)
Make-Ahead Cinnamon Rolls
These cinnamon rolls with maple cream cheese frosting can be made up 48 hours in advance, so they're ready to be popped in the oven the morning of. It's not the quickest recipe, but it's a delicious treat for the first day of school. Plus, it makes 12 rolls, so you'll have breakfast for days. (via Brit+Co)
Easy Breakfast Yogurt Popsicles

Matcha Yogurt Bark

Breakfast Cookies
These easy-to-freeze and easy-to-customize cookies start with a base of oats, nut (or seed) butter, cinnamon, banana, apple butter, and maple syrup and then add dried cranberries, raisins, and pepitas.
