There is something about fall that makes me want to hunker down with a huge cup of coffee and a cozy breakfast – these 10 recipes will get you excited for all the apple picking and leaf peeping all fall long.
These are the 10 fall breakfast recipes we make on repeat from September through Thanksgiving. Some take 10 minutes on a busy school morning. Some bake while you sip your coffee. One cooks overnight in the slow cooker so you don’t have to wake up early at all.
Every one of them makes the whole house smell like fall. Pin this list now – you’ll want it all season!
Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Bread
Skip the drive-thru line. This tastes just like the coffee shop loaf – the secret is extra spice on top of the pumpkin pie spice, plus a crunchy pepita topping. One batch makes two loaves, so freeze one or gift it to a neighbor.
10 min prep · 1 hr 10 min total · makes 2 loaves
Cinnamon Apple Dutch Baby
The showstopper. Pour the batter over buttery cinnamon apples in a hot cast iron pan and watch it puff up golden in the oven. It looks fancy, but it’s on the table in 30 minutes.
Easy Apple Fritter Bread
All the cinnamon-sugar apple layers of a bakery fritter, no yeast and no frying. Greek yogurt keeps it moist, and a drizzle of vanilla glaze seals the deal.
20 min prep · 1 hr 20 min total · 8 slices
10-Minute Baked Doughnut Holes
Poppable, baked, and rolled in cinnamon sugar. One batch makes about 60, so they’re perfect for a crowd, a school morning or a fall brunch board.
Slow Cooker Sausage Hashbrown Egg Breakfast Casserole
Five minutes of prep the night before, zero waking up early. Sausage, crispy hash browns, eggs and melty mozzarella cook low and slow while you sleep – ideal for Thanksgiving weekend guests.
5 min prep · 6-8 hrs on low · serves 8
Easy Baked Oatmeal with Apples
Like a warm apple oatmeal cookie you can eat with a spoon. Maple, pecans and dates make it feel special, and it keeps 4 days in the fridge for easy weekday breakfasts.
Air Fryer Pumpkin Glazed Donuts
The cutest thing on your fall table. Store-bought cinnamon roll dough becomes pumpkin-spiced donuts in 6 minutes, then gets decorated like little pumpkins. Kids love helping with this one.

2-Ingredient Mulling Spiced Donuts
Canned biscuits plus mulling spice sugar equals warm, cider-spiced donuts in 10 minutes flat. No mixing, no rising – and there’s an air fryer option too.
The Best Easy Snickerdoodle Muffins
One bowl, 20 minutes, and a cinnamon-sugar crust on every top. Sour cream keeps them soft and never dry – the perfect grab-and-go fall breakfast.
5 min prep · 20 min total · 12 muffins
Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal
The 15-minute cozy bowl for busy mornings. Fresh diced apple, cinnamon and a touch of maple turn plain oats into something you’ll actually look forward to.
Whichever one you start with, I hope it makes your fall mornings a little slower, a little cozier and a lot more delicious!
