15 Pumpkin Breakfast Recipes for a Crisp, Fall Morning
Pancakes, muffins, doughnuts—we want it all!
By 
Nothing says "good morning" during autumn quite like a pumpkin breakfast recipe! From seasonal pancakes and waffles to homemade muffin recipes, there are so many ways to incorporate pumpkin into your morning meal. Of course, you'll want to kick things off with a classic pumpkin spice latte for a little coffee pick-me-up—and we've got a recipe for that pumpkin drink, too! Whether you're gearing up for a weekend filled with fall activities or planning a Thanksgiving brunch for your family and friends, these pumpkin breakfast recipes are the perfect start to a crisp, fall day.
If you're a fan of all things pumpkin-flavored, you might already have our list of pumpkin desserts and savory pumpkin dinner recipes saved. So why not add another pumpkin-inspired meal to you lineup with these pumpkin breakfast ideas?! While some of these fall breakfasts call for store-bought or homemade pumpkin puree, others simply include plenty of pumpkin pie spice. And since pumpkin happens to be a naturally good-for-you ingredient on its own, many of these recipes can double as healthy breakfast ideas, including the pumpkin smoothie, baked pumpkin oatmeal, and pumpkin yogurt parfaits. Don't get us wrong, though! There are tons of comforting favorites—now, who's ready for a batch of ooey gooey pumpkin cinnamon rolls?
