Batch Cooking Freezer Meals For Breakfast

 I went to town the other day and saw that the price of eggs are going back down so I stocked up. My kitchen has had a work out today. I have played ring around the island and set up work stations and had an assembly line going.


All those eggs turned into: 

36 pumpkin waffles

77 mini chocolate chip muffins

21 chocolate chip pancakes

48 eggbite breakfast cups

36 mini pumpkin muffins

24 pumpkin donuts

56 chaffles



Muffins: (you can double or triple this recipe)

2 cups All purpose flour (you can substitute half and half of a healthier flour if you like)

3/4 cup sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup milk

1 egg beaten

1/3 cup vegetable oil

optional stir ins include, banannas, chopped nuts, some kind of puree, blueberries, and chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray Muffin tin with pam or use silicone liners. In a mixing bowl, mix all ingredientstogether according to order in recipe. Mix until welll combined. Spoon batter into muffin tin. Bake until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, or muffins are golden brown. about 25 minutes depending on your oven.

I used the same batter to make the donuts.

Mini Pumpkin Muffins and Pumpkin Donuts:



I used the same recipe to make the chocolate chip muffins, just used chips instead of pumpkin puree.

Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins:


My husband absolutely loves egg bites. I don't really have a recipe or measurements for the eggbites. I just crack a bunch of eggs and add milk and seasonings of my choice. In a muffin tin, I will add a vegetable, meat, cheese and then fill the cup with the egg mixture up to the top of the tin or liner in the tin. Bake for 25 minutes on 400 degrees. These are so versatile because you can add anthing to them you want to.





Pumpkin Waffles:

Waffles: (you can double or triple this recipe)

2 eggs

1 2/3 cup milk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 cups all purpose flour (you can substitute)

1 tbsp baking powder

2 tbs sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp vanilla or maple flavoring

Optional add ins can be pumpkin puree, sweet potato puree, banannas that have over ripened.

Mix all dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl then add wet ingredients. Blend or stir until smooth. Spray your waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and pour batter onto waffle iron and cook until done. Take off and set off to side to cool. 




Chaffles:

Again I don't have an exact recipe or measurements for these because I don't go by the normal chaffle making way. It is suppose to be one egg per one cup of cheese. Then cook in your waffle iron. I do it a little different. I crack a bunch of eggs, pour some milk in to make them fluffier and stretch more (quantity) and then I sneak something nutritious in them like shredded squash or zuccinni, or spinach. Then I add a bunch of cheese and seasonings. I spray my waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and laddle it on and cook until eggs are set. Set aside and cool. 



Chocolate Chip Pancakes:

Pancakes: (you can double or triple this recipe)

1 1/2 cups Self Rising Flour (you can add in another flour of your choice for a healthier version, but they will need sr flour in order to rise)

3 tbsp sugar

1 to 1 1/4 cups milk

1 or 2 eggs (very lightly beaten)

3 tbsp melted shortening, butter or cooking oil

You can add in chocolate chips like I did. Or you can use a puree.

Stir self rising flour and sugar together. Gently stir in milk and eggs. Stir in melted shortening, butter or oil

Bake on a hot griddle. Set aside and let cool. 




After all these have cooled, I store in  Ziploc Freezer bags and put in freezer. Viola" breakfasts are ready on the go.
