When you wake up in the morning and feel that the air is getting chilly, you know fall is setting in. What's better than a delicious, comforting breakfast on days like that?
Fall flavors are one of my favorites for breakfasts, baking, comfort food, soups, and more so I'm sure you'll love these breakfasts. They're all easy to make and inspired by warm autumn flavors!
1. Apple Cider Donuts
Everyone loves donuts, and these homemade baked donuts are extra special. The dough itself is full of boiled apple cider for a wonderfully delicious fall flavor.
After baking, they are coated in cinnamon sugar to make them even more amazing. Trust me when I say you won't find anything this tasty at the local donut shop!
2. Apple Oatmeal Muffins
Perfect for an on-the-go treat on a busy weekday morning, these muffins combine apples and granola for an extra tasty baked good. They are packed with warm spices and applesauce to make them perfectly moist.
They do contain some sugar but are still much healthier than store-bought muffins.
3. Pumpkin Streusel Bread
I don't know about you, but cool weather makes me want to enjoy everything pumpkin. Flavorful pumpkin, homemade pumpkin pie spice, and an absolutely irresistible streusel topping make this bread hard to beat.
4. Apple Cider Pancakes
Fluffy and tender pancakes that are infused with tasty apple cider. As if that didn't sound good enough, they are topped off with cinnamon apples and drizzled with a simple apple cider syrup.
You can have this entire breakfast ready in about 30 minutes, but it is special enough for holidays and birthdays, too!
5. Hashbrown Sausage Bacon Egg Casserole
This hearty and savory casserole is perfect for a large family. To make it even easier, you can assemble your casserole the night before so that in the morning, all you have to do is pop it into the oven.
6. Apple Pie French Toast Casserole
Take everything you love about apple pie, combine it with the delicious flavors of French toast, and then load it all into a simple casserole. This indulgent (and ridiculously delicious) French toast casserole is so sophisticated that it makes a great breakfast choice for special occasions (but is easy enough for any typical day, too).
You can even prepare it in advance so that it only needs to be baked in the morning!
7. Baked French Toast Muffins
If you're a fan of French toast, then these muffins are for you. Loaded with cinnamon, vanilla, and egg-soaked bread, these muffins are perfect for fall.
Plus, there aren't any complicated ingredients in them, so you can make them at the last minute without making a trip to the store.
8. Cinnamon Apple Bread
An easy-to-make bread that doesn't require yeast, kneading, or rolling. Mix everything and toss it in the oven - it's practically effortless.
The batter itself is packed with tons of sugar-coated apples, so you'll be able to enjoy them in every bite. The glaze is optional, depending on how indulgent you want it to be.

9. Bacon Breakfast Casserole
If your family loves eggy breakfasts, this casserole is going to make your mornings so much easier. It has everything you need in a well-rounded breakfast loaded into one simple and delicious meal.
10. Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins
Don't let the zucchini throw you off, as it adds tons of moisture and healthy nutrients (and it doesn't make the muffins taste like zucchini!). Mixing in some pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice makes this the ultimate nutritious and flavorful fall-time breakfast treat!
11. Sweet Potato Coffee Cake
This sweet potato coffee cake will instantly put you in the spirit of the season. There's no coffee in it, but it is loaded with mashed sweet potatoes, warm spices, and a touch of honey.
It has a wonderful brown sugar oat topping that really takes it up a notch, too. Even if you aren't a fan of sweet potatoes, I promise you'll love this tasty breakfast cake!
12. Cinnamon Roll Casserole
Get ready to enjoy the flavors of cinnamon rolls without making them from scratch. This is the perfect recipe if you have some leftover cinnamon rolls, but you can also prepare this casserole using refrigerated cinnamon roll dough.
My cinnamon roll breakfast is very easy to make - yet so tasty that the entire family will love it.
13. Sweet Potato Muffins
Sweet potatoes are a classic fall-time produce that is nutritious and has just the right amount of sweetness! I like to make a batch of these muffins and freeze any extras, so I always have them ready to go!
14. Overnight French Toast Bake
What makes this French toast recipe extra special is that it is prepared the night before! The egg mixture is poured over the bread in the baking dish, so it has all night to soak up that rich, creamy flavor!
When you wake up and start your day, all you need to do is transfer the baking dish to the oven and let it cook!
15. Quiche Florentine
This quiche Florentine is an elegant and impressive breakfast that is remarkably easy to make. The flaky pie crust is filled with a creamy egg mixture, some spinach, and melted cheese.
Quiches are naturally protein-packed, keeping you satisfied and full all morning.
16. Overnight Oats
These overnight oats make a fantastic nutrient-packed breakfast that's ready to eat as soon as you wake up. Everything is prepared the night before so you can enjoy your warm and cozy bed for a few extra minutes.
17. Chocolate Pancakes
If you're looking for a sweet treat in the mornings but aren't really in the mood for apple and pumpkin flavors, these rich chocolate pancakes are definitely going to knock your socks off!
Enjoy them as-is, or upgrade them with a drizzle of chocolate syrup, homemade whipped cream, marshmallows, and more! They are bound to be a family favorite!
💭 Tips For Making Fall Breakfasts
I have so many ways to transform any ordinary breakfast into delicious fall-time treats. These are a few of my top tips for making cozy and comforting autumn breakfasts.
- Use seasonal ingredients: Popular fall fruits like apples, pears, cranberries, and pumpkin instantly give baked goods that 'fall-feel.'
- Warm flavors: Warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, mace, star anise, cardamom, and ginger are autumn essentials if you ask me. Be brave and try a dash of ground black pepper, too! Apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice, lebkuchengewurz, and garam masala are great blends to keep on hand. Pair these spices with the seasonal fruits above for an instant fall treat.
- Pumpkin: Canned pumpkin is a quintessential fall ingredient. I use it in pancakes, waffles, muffins, and even pumpkin spice lattes. You can check out more of my favorite pumpkin recipes here!
- Prepare in advance: Prepping ingredients the night before makes the mornings run smoothly and saves time. For example, if I were making pancakes, I would prep the batter, slice and/or pan fry the fruit, and refrigerate until morning.
