Having a Paleo Overnight Breakfast Casserole in your fridge for breakfast is awesome! Most of the work is done when you wake and all you need to do is pop it in the oven and then enjoy! This paleo breakfast recipe is a lifesaver on time, and is one delicious paleo breakfast!
Every Christmas, I make a breakfast casserole. It is the perfect thing for us to let cook on Christmas morning while we gather around the tree see what Santa has brought. My favorite version is one that I can put together the night before and pop in the oven when I first wake up.
As I focus on healthier choices, I find myself swapping out things like potatoes for sweet potatoes and skipping bread all together. Knowing I will be eating plenty of homemade donuts and chocolate fudge on Christmas day, I figure I should also have a healthier option like this Paleo Overnight Breakfast Casserole on hand as well.
The great thing about this paleo breakfast casserole {well, besides the way it tastes} is that it is pretty healthy. You can easily make it the night before or in the morning depending on your schedule.
The paleo overnight breakfast casserole is perfect for meal prepping too. I make it on the weekend and then take each day of the week for breakfast. Definitely a super versatile paleo breakfast option.
To keep this paleo when I originally made it, I used sweet potatoes. However, since creating this recipe, the paleo diet has started allowing potatoes a little more often so you could totally use those instead.
Thinking of doing Whole30 and need an easy breakfast option? Look no further than this paleo overnight breakfast casserole. It is totally Whole30 compliant.
Perfect times to make this paleo breakfast recipe:
- Thanksgiving morning
- Christmas morning
- Sundays for meal prep
- As part of your Whole30 journey
- As a freezer friendly option
- To give to a new mom or recent surgical patient who needs a meal
