Everyone needs breakfast, but—with some people waking up with the sun, and others sleeping in until noon—how? The never-ending breakfast can be a pain, but don’t worry, we’ve got tasty solutions for every dilemma.
Birders and parents with chipper toddlers can help themselves to these easy-to-whip up energy bars to stash in a bag for the trail, or to ham and cheese scones or fruity lemon loaf as they sneak quietly out of the door. Meanwhile, sleepy teens and late-night scrabble players can heat up savoury bread puddings at whatever time they roll out of bed. And everyone can feast on a fabulous make-ahead brunch of vegetarian enchiladas (that you don’t have to wake up early to prep!).
Happy trails!
