Thanksgiving is often centered around the big feast later in the day, but why not kick off the morning with a cozy, festive breakfast? Join us this month as our diner shares some delightful Thanksgiving breakfast ideas that will set a warm tone for the day, without overshadowing the main meal. 

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Start your Thanksgiving morning with a stack of fluffy pumpkin spice pancakes. These are perfect for capturing the essence of fall, with the comforting flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and, of course, pumpkin. Serve them with maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, and perhaps a sprinkle of chopped pecans for an extra seasonal touch.

Cranberry Orange Muffins

Cranberries are a Thanksgiving staple, and these cranberry orange muffins are a great way to incorporate them into your breakfast. The zesty orange balances the tartness of the cranberries, making these muffins the perfect complement to a cup of coffee or tea. Plus, they can easily be made ahead of time.

Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

For a savory option, try a sweet potato breakfast hash. Combine roasted sweet potatoes with sautéed onions, bell peppers, and a bit of turkey sausage or bacon. Top it off with fried eggs for a hearty and satisfying breakfast!

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Keep things simple but delicious with a bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal. Slow-cooked oats with spiced apples, cinnamon, and a touch of brown sugar make for a warm and comforting dish. For extra texture, add walnuts or pecans, and finish with a drizzle of maple syrup.

Maple Pecan French Toast Casserole

If you’re hosting family or friends, a maple pecan French toast casserole is an easy make-ahead breakfast. Prepare the casserole the night before by layering bread, eggs, milk, cinnamon, and a touch of maple syrup. In the morning, simply pop it in the oven for a warm and decadent breakfast that serves a crowd!

Butternut Squash and Spinach Frittata

For a nutritious and savory breakfast option, a butternut squash and spinach frittata is perfect. The rich flavor of roasted squash pairs beautifully with fresh spinach and eggs. Add a bit of goat cheese or feta for extra creaminess and tang, making this frittata a showstopper on Thanksgiving morning.

Cinnamon Roll Waffles

Take your breakfast waffles to the next level by turning store-bought cinnamon rolls into waffles. Simply press them into your waffle iron for a quick and sweet treat. Drizzle the included icing on top, and you’ve got an indulgent breakfast that’s perfect for a holiday morning.
