GF Breakfast Meal Prep: 7 Make-Ahead Breakfasts (Grab & Go)

Prep Sunday, eat all week. These 7 GF breakfast recipes store perfectly and reheat in minutes. Egg muffins, overnight oats, freezer burritos, and more.

Stop Skipping Breakfast


The #1 struggle for GF people on busy mornings? No safe grab-and-go options. You can't just swing through a drive-thru. Most granola bars have gluten. Most frozen breakfasts are risky.


Solution: prep 7 breakfasts on Sunday. Each takes under 5 minutes to grab and eat.

1. 🥚 Egg Muffin Cups (Make 12)


  • 8 eggs + 2 tbsp milk, whisked
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • Mix-ins: diced ham, spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions

  • Grease a muffin tin (or use silicone muffin cups). Fill each cup 2/3 full with egg mixture. Add cheese and mix-ins.


    350°F, 20 minutes. Cool. Store in glass containers.


    Reheat: 45 seconds in the microwave. Done.


    Makes 12 — enough for 2 per morning, 6 mornings.
