Why should you eat breakfast?

I am sure you have heard some people who always tell you that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”, and frankly, you should listen to them. Having breakfast right after waking up or a few hours after (ideally before 9 am), jumpstarts your metabolism and breaks the overnight fasting period while you were asleep.

Creative healthy fall breakfast ideas

With fall looming around the corner, some ingredients, and type of food will definitely match this season better. With that said, here are some creative but healthy fall breakfast ideas you can try.

20. Pumpkin Spice Latte

While this concoction goes beyond the basic blend of pumpkin spice syrup and coffee, it’s straightforward to make.

Begin by heating your preferred milk along with pumpkin puree and sugar. I opted for brown sugar to achieve a richer, caramel-like flavor, though regular white works just as well.

Once it’s heated without reaching a boil, remove from the stove and stir in vanilla, pumpkin pie seasoning, and a robust cup of brewed coffee.

19. Caramel – Pecan Apple Slices

This is a cozy, rich accompaniment perfect for chilly season brunches. Prepared in just a quarter of an hour, these apples pair beautifully with pork dishes or can be drizzled over classic vanilla ice cream.

18. Overnight Pumpkin French Toast Casserole

Dishes that allow me freedom from constant kitchen duties? Count me in. I usually whip up this delightful meal the evening prior to a breakfast or brunch gathering.

17. Copycat Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole

Hash Browns are quintessentially an American breakfast favorite. But imagine serving a horde of brunch guests; would you fancy pan-frying potatoes for each one? Might as well direct them to the local eatery! Here’s where the Homestyle Hashbrown Bake steps in.

Inspired by the iconic Homestyle breakfast dish, this bacon-infused, cheese-rich bake is a cinch to replicate at home. While the traditional hash brown bakes often use cream of chicken soup, our team felt it sometimes resulted in a somewhat pasty texture, overshadowing the much-desired breakfast crunch. Our rendition guarantees a melt-in-your-mouth cheesy core without it feeling overly starchy.

Preferring frozen hash browns? Perfect! Just defrost them and ensure you squeeze out any extra moisture.

Our version takes a cue from the “fully loaded” style, adorned with crispy bacon bits. However, don’t hesitate to garnish with your favorites, be it spicy jalapeños or golden-brown shallots!

16. Pumpkin Pie French Toast Bake

Pumpkin-flavored pies and lattes aren’t the sole delights to embrace the pumpkin season’s essence. This inviting pumpkin-infused French toast bake recipe offers a simple route to savor those cherished fall flavors. For mornings when you’d rather not hover over the stove, a pre-prepped French toast bake is your ticket to a hearty breakfast.

Start by carving up a brioche loaf. (Alternatively, Challah or even sourdough are great choices.) Next, mix up a creamy custard blend and drench the bread, ensuring it soaks in all the pumpkin-rich goodness.

15. Cinnamon-Pecan Yeasted Waffles

Attention, waffle enthusiasts! Here’s the ultimate festive morning treat for you. Alongside popular seasonal favorites like spiced pumpkin pancakes and twisty cinnamon bread, these fermented waffles are light, crunchy, and adorned with pecan bits. The highlight? Prep the batter in advance for a breezy, no-fuss morning meal. Whip together the mixture, let it ferment overnight in the fridge, and come morning, all you need to do is cook. Drizzle a generous amount of maple syrup and sprinkle some caramelized pecans for that extra flair.

Though the base ingredients of pancakes and waffles are quite akin, the proportions differ. The waffle mixture contains a bit more butter and sugar, enabling that lovely caramelized golden hue. What sets this waffle recipe apart is the use of yeast for fermentation, as opposed to the traditional baking powder or soda.

Belgian waffle makers, in comparison to the conventional ones, have broader squares and deeper cavities. They are apt for fermented batters, allowing ample space for the mix to puff up, ensuring a spongy inside and a crunchy shell. But fret not if you’ve got a standard waffle maker at hand; it’ll do the trick. Pour approximately half a cup of the mix and bake for 3 to 5 minutes until it reaches a perfect golden tone.

14. Apple Spiced Pancakes

These Cinnamon Apple Pancakes are perfect for morning or evening meals, embodying the cozy essence of autumn. Made with whole wheat flour, they offer a nutritious kick-start to your day. Relaxed weekends beckon for a cup of coffee, either nestled on the sofa or outdoors enjoying the summer sun, paired with a leisurely breakfast. While my kids typically opt for cheesy egg sandwiches paired with fruits during weekends, given a choice, they’d promptly pick pancakes or waffles. Interestingly, they’d gladly have them for supper as well. The joy of being hailed as “the world’s best mom” just by serving simple pancake dinners is genuinely heartwarming!

As the warm summer breeze gives way to the crisp autumn air, our kitchen is flooded with apples. Whether it’s apple slices paired with peanut butter, apple-infused muffins, or oven-baked apples, they’re always on our menu. Last autumn, we found that shredded apples added a delightful texture and taste to pancakes, especially when combined with a batter infused with cinnamon and a hint of ginger. If nuts aren’t on your list, simply skip the pecans. Rest assured, these pancakes will be a hit with everyone at home.

After a brief summer hiatus, I’m jumping back into sourdough treats! You may remember that I created my own sourdough starter, affectionately named, “Paul Riser”, this past winter. I’ve posted recipes in the past for sourdough jam cinnamon rolls, and dried fruit & nut sourdough bread. I’ve baked boule upon boule of delicious crusty bread, all of which were slathered with butter and devoured almost instantly. In short, I’ve been having a very good time eating all of these goodies!

5. Dried Fruit & Nut Sourdough Bread

Sometimes you hit on a recipe that strikes just the right chords. Over the last few months of my sourdough starter/bread endeavor, I’ve read countless baking blogs, and bought my fair share of bread cookbooks to help in my ‘education’. One of these reference books has been an absolute standout; not only in technique and troubleshooting, but also in guiding the creation of one of my favorite fall bread recipes to date.
