Pumpkin season makes breakfast way more fun. It is crazy how versatile this squash is in so many recipes!
From fluffy pancakes to bakery-style muffins and even cozy lattes, there’s something about that warm spice and earthy sweetness that feels like a hug on a chilly morning.
The best part? Most of these recipes are quick to make, use simple ingredients, and make your kitchen smell like fall without much effort.
The best way to enjoy these sweet breakfast dishes is, of course, with Pumpkin Spice Latte (or its Chai version).
Whether you’re cooking for a busy weekday morning, a cozy weekend brunch, or just need an excuse to crack open another can of pumpkin puree (…or make some with all the fresh pumpkins you got!), these pumpkin breakfast ideas hit the sweet spot!
