Breakfast is often touted as the most important meal of the day—and these recipes will make sure it’s the most delicious, too. From sweet treats like pancakes and waffles to savory quiches and casseroles, these breakfasts pack in the fall flavor with ingredients like pumpkin, apple and sweet potato. Recipes like our Pumpkin-Date Overnight Oats or Mini Crustless Quiches with Kale, Mushrooms & Feta are tasty meals to wake up to.

With a flaky crust made from puff pastry, it offers a bakery-quality experience at home, filled with a warm, spiced apple filling that captures the essence of classic apple pie.

Mini Crustless Quiches with Kale, Mushrooms & Feta
These crustless mini quiches with kale, mushrooms and feta cheese are a delicious option for breakfast, brunch or even a light lunch served with a salad on the side. While we love this flavor combination, they’re easily customizable, allowing you to switch up the vegetables or cheese to suit your preferences.
Caramel Apple-Inspired Overnight Oats
This easy, meal-prep-friendly recipe takes all the flavors of a caramel apple and imparts them into breakfast. Applesauce ensures the texture is creamy yet light while also providing balance to the sweet-tart flavor of the oats. If you don’t have Granny Smith apples on hand, Fuji, Gala or Honeycrisp apples work as well. Crushed honey-roasted peanuts mimic the coating of a caramel apple, but any salty-sweet nut would be delicious.
