Loaded Breakfast Casserole – Perfect for the Holidays!

If you’re the person who usually hosts friends and family during the holidays, you know it can be a challenge to feed everyone. Overnight guests need snacks, coffee, and – of course – breakfast. This Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole is just the thing to keep everyone happy, fed, and ready to take on a day of celebrating!

One of the things I like most about this easy breakfast casserole is that it’s a breeze to prep the night before and bake the following day. All you need to do in the morning is throw the casserole in the oven and relax with a cup of good coffee or tea. 

This recipe is similar to my classic Breakfast Casserole, but the addition of sausage, peppers, and onions adds incredible flavor. I also love the texture added by the hashbrowns. No matter how you slice it, this is one tasty dish. Serve with some fresh fruit and keep the coffee – or mimosas! – coming!

Fail-Proof Apple Fritter Recipe

Once you taste one of these light and tender apple fritter donuts, you’ll swear off all store-bought fritters for the rest of your life. Those pre-made letdowns couldn’t begin to compare to these quick and easy clusters of heaven.

My whole family went absolutely nuts for them. The hubs even said they’re some of the best things he’s ever eaten – and he has tested a lot of treats! We nearly fought to the death over who got to claim the last fritter.

The combination of tasty apples, comforting spices and warm, pillowy donut is just delightful. When I tested and refined this recipe, I found that a slightly thicker batter gave me the results I was after. A thinner batter made the fritters feel more like funnel cake. While I love a good funnel cake, a fritter is a donut, so it needs to have a little more structure and texture to it.

These fritters definitely deliver. They’re not too dense or heavy, but just right. Plus, they’re jam-packed with tender and delicious apples!

Moist Pumpkin Coffee Cake With a Homemade Glaze

Cake for breakfast? Count me in. And, just know that this delicate pumpkin coffee cake will have you sneaking another slice after dinner, too! Filled with warm, cozy spices and plenty of pumpkin flavor, it’s a fall-spirited dream come true.

The crumbly cinnamon streusel and creamy vanilla glaze really tie the whole treat together. Every component requires very little effort – you don’t even have to break out your electric mixer! Once the coffee cake has cooled, it can be stored all week and warmed up whenever a craving hits – if it lasts that long.

The Best Make-Ahead Breakfast for Fall

This apple cinnamon oatmeal will make you want a rerun of your breakfast for dessert. The chewy oatmeal and the sweet apple chunks combine to form heaven in a baking dish! It’s lightly sweet with warm flavors like brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Certain baked oatmeal recipes will leave you with a gummy, sticky or even a dry end result, which is unpleasant and not what I want in my oatmeal. The texture of this oatmeal couldn’t be more perfect. It’s light, tender and chewy with soft pops of apple, yet it won’t fall apart when you go to serve it. Whether you enjoy it warm out of the oven or straight from the fridge as you’re out the door, this cozy baked oatmeal won’t disappoint.
