make-ahead breakfast?

[Owlie]

I'm looking for a make-ahead pre-ride (so, plenty of carbs, fat and protein ) breakfast that I can pull out of the fridge (or wherever) and eat. Owing to my parents' remodeling of their bedroom (and the fact that they're now sleeping on couches downstairs...), I'm having to sneak out of the house in the morning to ride, and cereal is actually amazingly noisy.

My only limiting factor on this is that I can't do oatmeal for breakfast before a ride. No matter what I put in it, it tends to mop up fat and does nothing for me.

My stand-by has been oatmeal, so sorry I don't have any other thoughts in terms of "quiet" breakfast foods. Find a nice a nice diner on the way to the bike trail???

I am quite partial to those veg breakfast sandwiches, tho now looking at the nutritional facts it's got 350 cal with 18 grams of fat (7 sat, 0 trans), that might change... HOW on earth does an egg, cheese, and rosted peppers on a bun can contain 18g of fat is way beyond me. Wow. Epic FAIL Starbucks! Hey, half the molten cheese sticks to the inside of the stupid bag anyhow, so I can deduct that, right?!?!?! Lol.

I like 3/4 cup Greek yogurt 0% fat mixed with a fully fatted yogurt (Brown Cow Coffee flavor is my fav!) and Great Grains cereal on top.

Is the cereal noisy when you pour it out or noisy when you eat it? If it's a pouring issue you could just pour it out the night before into a bowl with a cover.

oatmeal was my suggestion, too - are you talking steel cut or "quick"? I cook the steel cut in my crock pot overnight and just dish it out in the am.
The other thing I do is hard boiled eggs (with mustard and paprika, but that's just me). I sometimes add something to the egg - a slice of ham which I just wrap around it, for example.

I like frozen waffles that you'd toast with peanut butter on them. But the toaster might be too noisy too.

Do you have a toaster oven? Make breakfast burritos ahead of time and warm in a toaster oven(microwave too noisy). PB&J sandwich or wrap.

Make some cookies?

Cheese and egg! An ounce of cheese has 8 - 10 grams of fat depending on the kind. But it's also got 6 - 8 grams of protein.

The egg has 5 grams of fat and 6 grams of protein.

This is my most favorite make-ahead breakfast. I usually make as muffins and add some blueberries. The kids even love it. Little tip...I put the oatmeal in a small food processor/chopper which grounds it into an almost flour-like consistency.

This thread has made me hungry

I do up Zucchini and corn fritters or wholegrain apple muffins on the weekends and they keep all week in the fridge
I've also played with spelt/ricotta pancakes which were awesome, and they froze really well - defrosted them on a sandwich press - gave them a nice crispy outside

hope you find something

The oatcakes from "Super Natural Every Day" cookbook by Heidi Swanson. You can make these vegan by using only coconut oil instead of a mix of the coconut oil and butter, and substitute applesauce for the eggs while adding an extra 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the dry ingredients. I use cashews or hazelnuts instead of walnuts because I don't like walnuts.

These keep in the fridge for about a week, freeze well, and travel well in a camelbak for mid-ride snacking. I eat them for breakfast before a ride and they sit well in my stomach and keep me fueled for a long time. And they are delicious!
