Featuring cinnamon, apple, and pumpkin-forward recipes to spotlight the flavors of the season, these fall brunch recipes also features hearty breakfast casseroles, egg dishes, savory biscuits, homemade waffles, and sweet treats.
Monkey Bread
“This is a fun treat to make and eat! My mom used to make this for me when I was a kid. It would be a special treat when she made it.” – Shauna
Grits Breakfast Bake
“I try to cook breakfast for my husband’s bank every week or two. This is their favorite!” – Julia
Bacon Biscuit Bites
“For those mornings when you wake up smelling bacon frying in your mind. These biscuits provide a moist cheese and bacon-flavored carrier for your favorite bacon slices (and whatever else you want to pile on the sandwich). I enjoyed mine last weekend with a dollop of homemade strawberry fig preserves.” – David
Blintz Brownie Bites
“Have you ever wondered what the filling of a cheese blintz would taste like with a chewy chocolaty brownie? Recently, while dining at my grandparents’ retirement home, we were served the BEST cheese blintzes we have ever put in our mouths. I dashed into my kitchen to try and recreate them. I admit, I didn’t nail it on my first try. However, when I tried for the second time, perfection.” – Angie
Granny’s Apple Cake
“This is my take on a classic Jewish apple cake. This is a dense, moist cake packed full of apples and cinnamon. It’s the perfect take-along for a party, picnic, or potluck supper.” – Laurie
Puddin Place Eggs
“This is the easiest recipe but everyone says wow when they see it. And they’re even more impressed when they taste it! It’s certainly one of my favorites. Individually serves four of your favorite breakfast or brunchgoers and is easily multiplied. My mother-in-law taught me this one, and she is a 5-star chef in Barbados!” – Kimberly
Spinach and Bacon Tart
“This easy tart is a great appetizer or a side dish with a salad for a special lunch. Feta and goat cheese can be substituted for the Gruyere.” – Joanne
Kentucky Hot Brown Bake
“This is a great recipe for get-togethers with family and friends. It can be served at a party or just an easy family dinner. Other cold meats can be added or substituted. But the best part of it is the bacon!!” – Kimi
Ham and Cheese Croissant Casserole with Honey Mustard Sauce
“A ham and cheese breakfast casserole smothered in a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce.” – Kevin
Delicious Buttermilk Waffles
“My favorite buttermilk waffles. The batter would make great pancakes too.” – Karen
Loaded Breakfast Roll
“My family loves this breakfast loaf. It’s a favorite of ours on holidays. It’s great cold or just out of the oven.” – Tea
Donut Muffins
“These are light and fluffy and can be served for breakfast or anytime during the day. You can serve them plain for a less sugary treat or sweeter with the glaze if you like. I took them to our dog show breakfast every year, and they were gone before any other breakfast item.” – Roz
Apple Cranberry Galette
“A galette is basically a free-formed one-crust pie. It can be a dessert, main dish, or appetizer. When you think of it that way, anything can be put into a galette! This is one that I came up with when I was thinking of making fried apples for dinner.” – Teresa
Upside-Down Apple French Toast
“This is so delicious and has been a hit every time I’ve made it. It is easy and looks very elegant when served. Great for overnight guests. No syrup is needed for this. The brown sugar, butter, and apples provide all the wonderful flavor and of course, the creme topping doesn’t hurt either.” – Shannon
Pumpkin Pancakes
“These are a Sunday morning favorite at our house. Don’t forget the pecans and whipped cream when serving!” – Kathleen
Cherry and Orange Scones
“If you’ve never eaten a scone, you are missing out on one of the most delicious teatime and breakfast treats. They are heavenly with clotted cream. If you’ve eaten one and thought they were a crumbly mess that tasted like cardboard, then you’ve never eaten a good scone. You need to do yourself a favor and make this recipe.” – Cassie
My Apple Fritters
“Here is my version of apple fritters with cinnamon and nutmeg inside. You don’t have to put anything on them, or add a sprinkle of sugar.” – Sea
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
“This is one of those generational recipes! It is my delight to share it with you. It is absolutely delicious… a must for a special holiday.” – Cherie
Pumpkin Whole Wheat Fluffy Biscuit
“I was thinking about individual pumpkin bread. I wanted something easy-to-serve, so I decided to try this change to my favorite biscuit recipe. I’d made pumpkin muffins but still wanted something a little easier to handle for my friends who have difficulty manipulating things with their hands. It worked! Very moist and lightly sweet… unless you add a topping or sweet extra.” – Sandi
Ham and Cheese Sandwich Frittata
“I love grilled ham and cheese, so I wanted to use those flavors in a breakfast-type dish. I came up with this frittata, and it turned out great. Call me crazy, but I even added a little dollop of sour cream to my slice. I tried this out on my husband, and he loved it. This recipe is simple, quick, and very filling.” – Lindsay
Cheddar Bacon Buttermilk Scone
“I love using buttermilk in my recipes, and I altered one that called for cream and baking powder. Great grab ‘n go breakfast when running late for school, work, etc.” – Sarah
Cinnamon Roll Casserole
“This quick Cinnamon Roll casserole is easy to make and will wake everyone up with the sweet aroma of cinnamon rolls baking in the oven.” – Debbie
Brunch Eggs
“The cayenne and dry mustard add some spice to this dish. You can also serve this with a side of salsa.” – Debra
Pumpkin Mini-Doughnuts
“These baked doughnuts are full of autumn goodness. They are very quick and easy to make!” – Sue
Crescent Rolls Bread Machine
“These come out just like the ones in the tube! I usually fill the crescents with fillers before baking/last rise. Options include extra spinach artichoke dip, leftover ham with cheese and cream cheese, or pepperoni, cheese, and pizza sauce. Use your imagination!” – Sharon
