Well as folks get busier, one of the luxuries that sometimes goes, is a good breakfast. Unfortunately this is the most important meal of your day. Below is a collection of breakfast bars that have been posted to various lists that I have been on. Whenever possible I have posted where the recipe was found. I have not tried all of these but from what I can see they should all freeze just fine.
Enjoy and have a great breakfast!
