Looking for some easy Christmas breakfast recipes? I have a collection of delicious make-ahead healthy recipes you can cook overnight for your family!
22. Cranberry Orange Muffins Recipe
“I love the taste of Cranberry, and these muffins are an excellent combination of cranberries and oranges!”
I made this recipe just last weekend, and I have to say it was great! I have been looking for a muffin recipe that had soooo much orange flavor but had the tartness of the cranberries. Very nice balance as well as moist! I test lots of recipe’s and this is a keeper. I have made this once more and have made a couple of modifications.
21. Overnight Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Sausage Breakfast Casserole is loaded with sausage, peppers, cheese and Italian seasoning is one my favorite make ahead breakfasts! You’ll love this for holidays and when you’ve got guests as it can (and should) be made ahead of time!
Breakfast casserole is literally my favorite breakfast recipe of all time and everyone raves about it. Serve with a fresh fruit salad!
My Mom has made bacon breakfast casserole on Christmas morning for as long as I can and either one is my absolute favorite holiday dish (along with a classic stuffing recipe of course).
I love that overnight casseroles (both in the oven and a Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole) can be prepped the night before making it perfect for holidays, weekends and even for overnight guests.
20. Make-Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches
So easy and so versatile! Use any kind of meat you like, and experiment with different cheeses and veggies, too.
My favorite has to be bacon, egg, and mature cheddar cheese with onions and a smear of chipotle mayo.
Breakfast meal prep can significantly simplify your mornings.
I often spend Sunday evenings preparing a batch of these breakfasts, a move I am grateful for throughout the busy workweek ahead. It’s also a wonderfully cost-effective option.
This recipe is fantastic for serving breakfast to a large group. You can easily prepare and serve them immediately to your guests.
For a little extra touch, assemble the sandwiches as usual and briefly return them to the oven until the cheese melts to perfection. If needed, cover the English muffins with foil to prevent further toasting.
19. Triple Berry Overnight Oats for Christmas Morning Breakfast
On Jar Of Lemons, you’ll find various overnight oat recipes (like Strawberries & Cream Overnight Oats, Oatmeal Cookie Overnight Oats), yet this one is akin to the classic, foundational recipe. It’s a versatile base from which you can explore an array of flavors and toppings.
Ideally, this original recipe should have been the first to be shared, similar to the Star Wars saga where the final chapters were revealed before the beginning. Now, you’re getting the core recipe that started it all.
As for the health benefits of overnight oats, they are indeed nutritious. They’re an excellent source of fiber, providing a steady energy boost and keeping you satiated longer, reducing the temptation for sugary snacks later in the day. Plus, when topped with fresh fruits, nuts, and seeds, they become even more nutrient-rich, adding to their health benefits.
18. Banana Bread Coffee Cake – Make Ahead Christmas Breakfast and Brunch Recipe!
It’s simple, delicious and the perfect way to feed a small crowd on Christmas morning. Just add some fresh fruit, bacon or sausage and you’re good to go!
17. Perfectly Fluffy Overnight Buttermilk Pancakes
These overnight buttermilk pancakes set a new standard for fluffiness and taste. Prepared the evening before, they make breakfast a breeze!
I cherish every recipe I share, but some have evolved into family classics, destined for the treasured recipe book I plan to pass down. I hope that physical recipe binders aren’t a thing of the past by then, replaced by digital archives.
The thought of my future grandchildren not experiencing the joy of cooking from a family recipe, taped to the kitchen cupboard, is almost too much to bear.
These fluffy overnight pancakes, a recent top favorite, have to be preserved for them. They’ve climbed not just to the top of our pancake list but to the pinnacle of all breakfasts.
16. Rosti: A Festive Potato Breakfast Casserole
Rösti, a Swiss shredded potato casserole, is ideal for brunch. It emerges from the oven with crisp edges, a melting cheese center, and soft-cooked eggs on top.
Picture a large, crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside potato pancake with onions, ham, and cheese, topped with eggs. In Switzerland, rösti is enjoyed as a meal or a hearty side.

Perfect for holiday mornings, Mother’s Day brunch, or simply a Sunday treat.
13. The Quest for the Perfect French Toast Casserole
You might be surprised to learn that this seemingly straightforward French Toast Casserole recipe was the source of much anxiety and numerous trials for me. My goal was to create a simple and adaptable recipe, one that could either be prepared in advance or assembled quickly on the same morning for those less inclined to plan ahead.
My sister, an expert in classic French toast and a crepe connoisseur, bravely endured one lackluster casserole after another in her taste-testing role. Her feedback ranged from needing more brown sugar and cinnamon to questioning the recipe’s essence. Admittedly, I gave up on the recipe twice, driven by frustration. However, my determination to present a delightful breakfast casserole for your holiday celebrations brought me back to the drawing board each time. I was committed to crafting something truly exceptional.

11. Hashbrown Casserole With Sausage, Egg, & Cheese

The assortment of basic ingredients required for this recipe shouldn’t be daunting. While it might seem extensive, rest assured that these items are readily available at your nearest supermarket, with many probably already in your pantry. The magic lies in how these components are combined.

9. Cherry Almond Braid
While everyone is thinking about their Christmas dinner menus, I’m over here obsessed with Christmas breakfast! My family almost always has some form of Biscuits and Sausage Gravy on actual Christmas morning but when there’s another occasion for a big celebratory holiday brunch or breakfast, I love impressing everyone with this Cherry Almond Braid.
The recipe starts by making a sweet yeast dough from scratch. You then fill it with a juicy cherry filling, shape the dough into a braid, bake and drizzle it with an almond glaze.
8. Skillet Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Casserole Recipe

Have you ever indulged in this mouthwatering Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole with Breakfast Sausage? If not, you’re definitely missing out! This casserole combines juicy premium pork sausage, crispy tater tots, fluffy eggs, rich milk, and, of course, a generous amount of cheese. We’re huge cheese enthusiasts here! There’s something irresistibly delicious about the savory, pan-browned sausage mingling with gooey cheddar cheese. This recipe is not only incredibly tasty but also an ideal choice for special occasions like Father’s Day.
However, you don’t need a special event to savor this delightful brunch casserole with your loved ones. It’s a hit in our household, loved by my husband and our three kids. My daughters are especially fond of it and often ask for seconds. The appeal lies in its combination of all their favorite ingredients, baked together into one scrumptious dish.
6. Cream Cheese Danish Crescent Rolls
If you’re a fan of bakery-style Danish pastries, like Jared and me, this Cream Cheese Danish Crescent Rolls recipe is a must-try. We adore desserts with flaky pastry, crisp icing, cheesecake filling, and a hint of fruit.

5. Eggnog Cranberry French Toast Bake
I love recipes that use eggnog.
4. Slow Cooker Banana Bread
You put your ingredients in and about 2 hours later you have banana bread.
3. Vegan Cinnamon Coffee Cake whis Streusel
Christmas is coming in just a few weeks. I’m knee deep in shopping, present buying, cookie making, and attempting to straighten up the house. While I don’t have to menu plan as we generally have Christmas dinner at my in-laws, I do like to make something special for Christmas morning.
The smell of something sweet baking in the oven while the kids tear open their presents and “Ooh” and “Aah” (hopefully) over their latest and greatest toys, while I sip my coffee (or green smoothie), snap a few pics and take it all in – that’s bliss right there, friends.
2. Flavorful Gingerbread Gluten Free Granola
This gingerbread granola, which I enjoy over dairy-free vanilla yogurt and topped with fresh pears, offers a delightful mix of flavors and textures. The combination of the soft, sweet pears with the crunchy, spicy granola and creamy, tart yogurt creates a truly delectable experience.
As for my kids, they prefer a more direct approach – grabbing handfuls of granola straight from the jar! They’re often seen sneaking to the kitchen counter for another quick snack. This explains the little granola crumbs scattered across my kitchen floor, but I can’t really blame them. Seeing their enjoyment of this homemade granola brings me so much joy!
