Easy Pumpkin Breakfast Recipes

Pumpkin Pie Yogurt Overnight Oats

These Pumpkin Pie Yogurt Overnight Oats combine two of my favorite things: pumpkin and Greek yogurt. In the words of Ina Garten, "How bad could that be?"

It can't. There's just no way in a cock-a-doodle-doo these oats could be bad. Creamy, protein-rich yogurt, sweet pumpkin, and chewy old-fashioned oats make for an incredibly easy pumpkin breakfast you'll want to eat all year long.

Maple Pumpkin Spice Trail Mix

This Maple Pumpkin Spice Trail Mix is a *HUGE* hit and everyone loves it! It's by far one of my most popular recipes. The pecans and granola are candied in pure maple syrup before being baked. Yes, you have to turn on a oven for a second, but it's worth it!

Once cooked, dried apricots, tart dried cherries, and delicious cinnamon chips are added to the mix. It's so good and not too pumpkiny so it's a great way to start off the fall season!
