17 Healthy Holiday Breakfasts You Can Make Ahead
I adore holiday breakfasts! It’s one more excuse to enjoy food with family.
But these dishes from around the web require THREE things:
- they must be delicious
- healthy(ish)
- you can make them ahead
Because there’s nothing worse than holiday weight gain or spending your time cooking instead of enjoying.
Plus, all of the recipes have a little extra flair, something that’s perfectly suited for a holiday breakfast.
In this post, you’ll find:
- Delicious oat recipes
- Hearty egg dishes
- Healthy classic indulgences (cinnamon rolls, breads, etc)
Now, let’s dig in!
