Ah, those crisp fall mornings. It’s hard to get out of a cozy bed when the sky is still dark, but you do. Why? Because there are places to be and lots of things to do! When the temperature drops, there’s no better way to start your day than a hot breakfast. Here are three easy, make-ahead recipes that will warm your heart and sweeten those chilly mornings. Simply prep them the night before, pop them in the oven, and enjoy!
Cinnamon Rolls
Forget the tube. These moist and fluffy Cinnamon Rolls are made from scratch! Not only do they taste wonderful, but they will make your kitchen smell wonderful, too. Just chill the dough overnight, and bake when you wake, for a morning that is as sweet as can be. All you need are a few basic ingredients from your kitchen pantry cabinet and refrigerator, like flour, yeast, milk, butter, eggs, and brown sugar. And don’t forget the cinnamon in your door mounted spice rack! Want to learn how to make homemade Cinnamon Rolls? Click here for a recipe with step-by-step instructions from Better Homes & Gardens.
Autumn Baked Oatmeal
We often see baked oatmeal with spring and summer fruits like blueberries, but there is no reason you couldn’t give this make-ahead staple an autumn-inspired twist. Check out this Amish-Style Baked Oatmeal recipe from Once Upon a Chef. It calls for fall favorites like oats, apples, walnuts and raisins baked in a creamy custard. Similar to bread pudding, this Baked Oatmeal can be put together and baked the night before, and reheated in your microwave cabinet the next morning.
Baked French Toast
No need to stand over the stove to make fabulous French Toast. We love this Baked Fench Toast recipe from Food Network’s Ree Drummond. Start by greasing a baking pan with butter. Then, whip up a few simple ingredients from your kitchen pantry cabinet, pour it over crusty bread, and store in the refrigerator overnight. You can even make the crumb topping ahead of time to sprinkle on in the morning before you bake. It takes about an hour, so pop your casserole in the oven as soon as you wake up, before heading to the bathroom vanity for your morning routine.
Perfect for holiday mornings or any day at all, these make-ahead hot breakfasts help start your day on a sweet note. Have a happy and delicious fall season!
