Fall is the best season to cozy up with warm, comforting breakfasts. It’s also a great chance to incorporate seasonal fruits and veggies into your meals. Here are three delicious and easy fall breakfast ideas that will delight the whole family.
Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Transform your regular pancake routine into a fall festival with pumpkin spice pancakes. Start with your favorite pancake batter, then add an autumn twist. Mix in 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin puree and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice for every cup of pancake mix. Simple and delicious.
Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats
This make-ahead breakfast is perfect for busy fall mornings. In a jar or container, combine 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based), 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Mix well, then fold in 1/4 cup of grated apple. Refrigerate overnight, and wake up to a creamy, flavorful breakfast.
Sweet Potato Toast
For a trendy, nutritious breakfast, swap your regular bread for slices of sweet potato. Cut a medium sweet potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Pop these “toasts” into your toaster or toaster oven, and cook until they’re crispy on the outside and tender inside. Add sweet or savory toppings for a finishing touch.
