Any way to pre-mix muffins so I can make them the next morning? Any other delicious, easy, prep-able breakfasts?
I like my sleep, but I also like good breakfasts... Any way to balance the two out?

I have seen Bran Muffin recipes that can stay mixed up in the fridge for quite some time. You might google areound for that. Otherwise I do as above and mix the dry in a bowl left on the counter. Then mix the wet except for the eggs and refrigerate, even grease the pans. Mixes up quick the next morning.
You can make breakfast burritos and freeze individually for the microwave or toaster oven, but they are easy enough to make on the spot. Put all the ingredients in one place in the fridge and cook bacon, if you are using it, ahead of time.
Stratas can be prepared the evening before; here are a few from food52

Why not make muffins the night before? In an airtight container they keep really well and all you have to do is warm one or two up in the microwave with some butter.
Scrambled eggs with pre-cooked bacon chunks (buy ends and pieces and cook them in a big batch on the weekend to use during the week) is a good, fast breakfast. Full fat yoghurt with frozen fruit makes a really nice breakfast too, low-fat tends to leave me feeling hungry about an hour later.
