Whether you're herding little ones out the door, dodging last-minute homework surprises, summer camp dress up days, or just trying to remember if you brushed your own teeth 🤪, breakfast shouldn’t be one more thing to stress about. And just a tip…. go ahead and brush your teeth again just in case, better safe than sorry!
Let’s be real—morning routines rarely go as planned. You’ve got tangled hair, missing socks, and cereal spills before your coffee even cools. But here's the thing… breakfast doesn't have to be a disaster. In fact, it can be the one part of the morning that actually works—with the help of a few simple tricks. Because I have been there mama, Heck! I am still there some days! We all need a few tricks up our sleeves on *those* mornings!
I’m talkin’ about grab-and-go goodies, make-ahead meals, and sneaky shortcuts that still deliver the fuel your family needs to start the day strong. Because while I love a good muffin moment, sometimes we need more than sugar and carbs—we need protein-packed, sanity-saving options that come together faster than you can say “where are your shoes?!” for the 5th time!
So buckle up, friend—because I’m about to share some of my favorite easy breakfast hacks that have saved my mornings more times than I can count. Trust me, these tips are just the thing to turn your wild mornings into something that almost feels put together. Almost.
Before we dive into the hacks for an easy breakfast, let me share a little tip with you. Get yourself a coffee warmer coaster or a smart mug like this. I have the coaster one and I love it. Once you get one of these, even if everything else fails when trying to make mornings easier, having one of these means your coffee will always be hot. Because you deserve hot coffee every morning! It's the little things in life mama 🩷
Okay, ready for all the easy breakfast hacks you need all in one place?? Let's go!
Easy Breakfast Hacks: BACON
✔️ Skillet Bacon Mess Free: When frying bacon, add water to the skillet to keep the grease from popping all over you!
✔️ Sheet pan bacon: twist the bacon and add to a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil and bake on 400 for 20 minutes (time varies for desired crispiness.)
✔️ Microwave Bacon: Get a bacon wheel and cook your bacon in the microwave! This wheel cooks a pound of bacon in the microwave!
Easy Breakfast Hacks: EGGS
✔️ Sheet pan eggs! “Fry” all your eggs at once in a sheet pan! Just put some olive oil down on the sheet pan then add the eggs and bake on 425 until desired doneness!
✔️ Flipping eggs: Make flipping eggs easier by using the lid to flip!
✔️ Boiled Eggs: Get boiled eggs that peel perfectly each time by giving them an ice bath immediately after boiling! For more hacks on boiling eggs, check out this blog!

Crazy Busy Mama Tip
Eggs are expensive, do you have some eggs that are passed the sell by date and want to know if they are still good to eat? Use the water test!
The Water Test:
- Fill a glass or bowl with cold water (deep enough to submerge the egg completely).
- Gently place the egg into the water.
What the results mean:
Floats to the top:
❌ Bad egg – throw it outSinks and lays flat on its side:
✅ Very freshSinks but stands upright on the bottom:
⚠️ Still safe, but not super fresh – use soon
