From biscuits and scones to muffins and French toast, you’ll love these recipes from real grandmothers.

When it comes to breakfast, who knows better than Grandma that you should start your day with something homemade and special. So, why not turn to the experts for the best baked breakfast treats inspired by the recipe author’s grandmother! It doesn’t get any more Grandma-approved than that. They’re all made with love, and even better, many of them are easily freezable, which means cozy treats on any busy morning. Here are 10 grandma-approved breakfast treats to bake this weekend and beyond.

Grandma Johnson's Scones

Scones aren’t just for teatime. A cross between a biscuit and a muffin, these baked treats named for the author’s grandma are also super adaptable by using different mix-ins and glazes. Serve warm from the oven with jam (plus clotted cream if you want to be traditional). Split and toast leftovers (and butter generously!) the next day.

Grandma's Baking Powder Biscuits

Biscuits are the way to almost everyone’s heart, and grandmas are famous for making them every morning back in the day. These baking powder biscuits have plenty of rise;  they are easy enough to make fresh in the morning but can also be frozen and baked as needed.

Grandma’s Peach French Toast

French toast is a breakfast treat that makes the most of any stale breadstuff. This peachy baked version amps up the flavor and is a delicious way to add fruit to your morning.

Grandma Dalley's Honey Granola

Homemade granola will always be better for you than processed versions. You can adapt to your taste, and bake by the trayful so that you always have a jar around. This version from Grandma Dalley (which won a blue ribbon at the Eastern Idaho State Fair in 2012!) uses honey as the sweetener for terrific, healthier flavor.

Grandma Bonnie’s Cinnamon Rolls

Grandmothers always know how to make you feel special, and chances are that on those great sleepovers you might just wake up to cinnamon rolls. Grandma Bonnie’s version is rich with cinnamon and opts for a light glaze instead of a heavier cream cheese frosting.

Grandmother’s Muffins

Grandmas often have simple baking recipes memorized for fast work in the kitchen. This light vanilla muffin is one of those. You can bake as is or mix in any kind of nut, fruit, or even chocolate chip if you prefer.

Grandma Sherrill’s Bagels

If you aren’t lucky enough to live near a great bagel bakery, Grandma Sherrill is here to help you make your own. Making bagels from scratch is a wonderful baking project for the whole family, and the results are extra special…just like Grandma!

Grandma’s Doughnuts

Frying your own doughnuts is definitely a Power Grandma move. Using a can of biscuit dough makes it a project simple enough for anyone to tackle.

Grandma’s English Muffin Bread

If your grandmother made homemade English muffins, you know that there is no better breakfast than a buttery crunchy toasted muffin. Want it even easier? Try this grandma’s trick of baking English muffins as a loaf of bread, making it even easier to slice and toast.

Best of the Best Blueberry Muffins

When it comes to morning treats, blueberry muffins are classic for a reason and this recipe from the recipe author’s grandmother perfectly pairs the sweet/tart fruit with a lightly sweet batter. Talk about a way to start the day!
