Thanksgiving morning can be a whirlwind of activity, with food prep, family gatherings, and last-minute to-dos. But that doesn’t mean breakfast has to be complicated! Starting the day with a quick and delicious meal can help you fuel up without adding extra stress. Here are five simple breakfast ideas from one of your favorite restaurants to kick off Thanksgiving morning right.
Overnight Oats with Fall Flavors
Overnight oats are perfect for busy mornings, and they can be easily customized with Thanksgiving-inspired ingredients. Simply mix rolled oats with milk or a dairy-free alternative, a dash of cinnamon, and a spoonful of maple syrup. For added fall flavor, stir in pumpkin purée or diced apples. Let it sit in the fridge overnight, and in the morning, top with pecans and dried cranberries for a festive twist.
Veggie-Packed Egg Muffins
Egg muffins are a great make-ahead option that’s protein-packed and versatile. Whisk eggs with your favorite veggies—such as spinach, bell peppers, and mushrooms—along with shredded cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a muffin tin and bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes. These mini frittatas can be made the day before and reheated quickly, offering a nutritious breakfast without taking up too much time.
Easy Cranberry-Pecan Pancakes
For a sweet and seasonal twist on classic pancakes, fold in dried cranberries and chopped pecans to your pancake batter. You can use a store-bought mix to save time or prepare a homemade batch the night before. Serve with maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream to add a festive touch. These pancakes take just a few minutes to cook, making them perfect for a low-maintenance breakfast.
Bagels with Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese
Sometimes, simplicity is best. Pick up your favorite bagels and pair them with a seasonal pumpkin spice cream cheese spread. You can either purchase pre-made pumpkin spice cream cheese or make your own by mixing cream cheese with pumpkin purée, cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey.
Smoothie with a Fall Twist
If you want something light and refreshing to kick off the day, opt for a fall-inspired smoothie. Blend a frozen banana with almond milk, a spoonful of pumpkin purée, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a handful of spinach for a nutrient-packed breakfast. It’s quick, easy, and provides a burst of energy before a day filled with cooking.
