Start your day with pumpkin pancakes!
You don't need to wait until the sun sets to celebrate Halloween! Sure, the holiday is mostly revolved around full moons, trick-or-treaters, and late-night scary movies. But there's also plenty of Halloween activities that you can do during the day, too! So, rise and shine, and get a head start with these scary-good Halloween breakfast ideas. Whether you're throwing a brunch-themed Halloween party with cute costumes for the family or you're just looking for a quick breakfast before a trip to the pumpkin patch, this list of Halloween recipes has something for everything.
Of course, you also don't have to wait until October 31 to try these morning meals! The Halloween breakfast ideas ahead are just as tasty throughout the fall season. That's, in part, thanks to the many pumpkin recipes, maple recipes, and other seasonal fall breakfasts that we've included on this list. Try the pumpkin pancakes, roasted squash and bacon hash, apple fritters, or cinnamon roll casserole to name a few. Of course, if you ask us, Ree Drummond's pumpkin spice muffins will be delicious whenever the craving strikes—morning or night! Just be sure to save some room for the Halloween candy!
