As the crisp air settles in and leaves begin to change, it’s the perfect time to embrace the comforting flavors of fall in your breakfast routine. Two delicious recipes that capture the essence of the season are Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats and Apple Cinnamon French Toast. Both are easy to prepare and packed with warmth and flavor to start your day off right.

Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg)
• Pinch of salt
• Optional toppings: chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or a dollop of yogurt

Instructions:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, mix together the oats, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.
2. Chill: Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak and soften.
3. Serve: In the morning, give the mixture a good stir. Top with your choice of nuts, dried cranberries, or yogurt for added texture and flavor.

This quick and nutritious breakfast can be prepared in advance, making it a perfect choice for busy mornings.

Apple Cinnamon French Toast

• Maple syrup for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
