Make-ahead holiday breakfast recipes that are quick, easy, nutritious, and crowd-pleasing. This roundup of breakfast recipes will please the whole family and make breakfast prep a breeze!
Between entertaining guests and family, travel, wrapping up end-of-year work projects, and the general stress of the holidays, this season is a crazy time of year! For this reason, I have compiled 15 of my favorite make ahead holiday breakfast recipes to take the edge off of cooking and to ensure you have your bases covered for the most important meal of the day.
When we think of holiday season, we typically think of side dishes, main dishes and desserts, but after talking to my friends about their holiday traditions and observing how my own family behaves, I think easy breakfast recipes during the holidays don’t get enough attention.
These recipes are all gluten-free, and I have included vegan and paleo options as well as both sweet and savory options. So without further adieu, let’s dive into some of the classics from the blog that can be easily made ahead of time and reheated (or served cold)!
1.) Sweet Potato, Sausage, and Kale Breakfast Casserole
A hearty, filling egg casserole that can easily be adapted to include any of your favorite vegetables or breakfast meats. Leave out the cheese to keep it dairy-free!

An easy frittata recipe made quickly in your cast iron skillet! This simple recipe is jam packed with flavor and can easily be adapted to fit special diets or tastes.
3.) Paleo Sheet Pan Pancakes
