Pancakes & other pre-made breakfast ideas

[surgtech1956]

Whats the best frozen pancakes? I eat breakfast at work(just because I get up at 4:50am). We have a cafeteria but the food is crappy, so I usually bring my breakfast(we have frig and microwave too). I get in 'food ruts', I'll eat oatmeal till I get tired of it, cold cereal, english muffin with PB & banana, etc..... I'm thinking maybe frozen pancakes, also making some breakfast buritos. I like hardboiled eggs, but usually I want to eat more than one. Ideas, please

Spend a weekend morning making a big batch of your favorite pancakes. Let them cool on a baking rack, then put a breakfast's worth into a zippy bag and pop them into the freezer. Two weeks seems to be about the limit my pancakes survive in the freezer before they start getting funky, so I wouldn't freeze more than 2 weeks worth at a time (in one-serving zippy bags).

Can you keep a bottle of syrup and a tub of good butter in the fridge at work?

Pancakes are worse than oatmeal for me. I don't know how something can simultaneously give me a sugar crash and be a lump in my gut.

yes, I get a sugar crash too from pancakes, cold sugar is the worse. I like making pancakes ahead of time. I do that with oatmeal.

Would whole wheat pancakes be better?

Then why in gawd's name are you eating them for breakfast?

Wouldn't you be better off eating protein?

(But isn't that what bacon is for?)

If I do pancakes for breakfast, which isn't very often, there has to be bacon or sausage with them. At any rate, it solves the sugar crash issues.

Or eggs. Pancakes are groovy with a couple eggs on top.

I just wouldn't be interested in frozen pancakes, though I do make pancakes from a mix that adds the eggs and oil, not the "just add water". I eat them with yogurt and fresh fruit on top- no syrup or butter.
