Southern Living's editorial guidelines Updated on December 12, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Photo: Pinterest/The DIY Lighthouse If you have a Pinterest account, we bet you've seen countless Mason jar crafts. But in the South, we don't like to limit the way we use these glass vessels, which leads us to the topic of breakfast. These recipes include sweet options like cinnamon rolls and blueberry French toast and savory options like quiches and frittatas. You won't believe that some of these Mason jar breakfasts actually cook right in the jar, like pigs-in-a-blanket pancakes and sausage, spinach, and pepper omelets. We also found the most out-of-this-world oatmeal with overnight, no-cook recipes like mango-almond and blueberry-maple flavors. These breakfast recipes are the easiest way to take breakfast on the go without any mess, and they'll save you so much time on busy weekdays. Plus, these breakfasts would make for an adorable table set up at a luncheon, early shower, or holiday brunch. When you see these delicious (and let's be honest, really cute) ideas, you'll be inspired to toss the granola bars and make these Mason jar breakfasts. 01 of 19 Banana Bread In-A-Jar Pinterest/Intimate Weddings These mini banana bread servings would be cute as favors or for a large brunch. Mix up a batch of banana bread, get out the funnel, and fill each canning jar halfway. Just make sure you eat your mini loaves soon after baking—they won't keep as long as pickles. 02 of 19 Mason Jar Breakfast To Go Pinterest/At The Picket Fence Stack scrambled eggs, hash browns, and chopped bacon for a full breakfast on the go. Screw on a lid so that breakfast is sealed in tight, even when it's thrown in the bottom of a bag. And to make things simple, tie a fork to the jar with a piece of twine. 03 of 19 Cranberry Orange Scone Mix In A Jar Pinterest/Food in Jars Home-baked holiday goodness, in a jar.
