3. Pumpkin Pie Croissants

Croissants are the perfect treat to go along side your morning coffee, and these Pumpkin Pie Croissants are truly legendary! Filled with pumpkin, cinnamon and everything nice, these croissants go from boring grocery store croissants to a decadent bakery style croissant in a matter of minutes!

Helpful Advice

If you want to make clean up even easier, be sure to use parchment paper when you're baking the loaves, casseroles and other breakfast items! Parchment paper helps make sure nothing is going to stick the pan when it's done baking and makes clean up a breeze!

5. Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread

Every breakfast needs a smear of cream cheese, which is why I love this Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread! With a delicious cheesecake filling, this pumpkin bread is loaded with flavor! From a crunchy brown sugar topping, to a moist delicious crumb, this pumpkin bread is cram packed with flavor!

7. Vanilla Streusel Loaf

Vanilla Streusel Loaf is the all-year round cousin of the Apple Cider Donut Loaf! Flavored with cinnamon sugar, this vanilla loaf is soft, delicate and a dream to make! It's perfect for slow coffee sipping on a Sunday morning, or packing in a lunchbox for a quick weekday morning!

Top tip

My favorite part of waking up is a delicious breakfast that I can enjoy before starting my day! To make mornings easier, I like to prep a breakfast for the week ahead on Sundays! It's perfect to get everything ready so you can start your week knowing that you have a delicious breakfast for each day!

I hope you enjoy these easy, make-ahead breakfast ideas! Here's to wishing you a happy and healthy New Year!
