Breakfasts can get a little rushed as the holidays grow nearer and nearer. Heck, everything can get a little rushed. But with a little planning, fall breakfasts can be something other than cold cereal or coffee shop scones.
With apples, pears, figs, plums, quince, persimmons, and raspberries (depending on where you live) in season, folding them into a simple muffin or scone is something that always inspires us. We love to double the recipe or bake extra and freeze them individually so there are always homemade breakfast options close at hand. Weekend or weekday, these are simple, seasonal, and a step above typical.

Wow, that reads a bit like a dessert list. How about some protein? Any ideas?
Fruit (plum, fig, or apple) stuffed sausage links. Bacon wrapped figs. Chorizo fried apples. Greek yogurt with fruit. Mmmmm...
I'm with you scotchncoffee. They all sound pretty good, but not very well rounded!
Totally third that thought. I mean, that apple crumble is just a dessert apple crumble!
Continually frustrated in my attempt to find a make-ahead breakfast other than yogurt, fruit, or oatmeal (all good, but something new and different would be fun!) that actually starts the day off right!
Kat88, I'm a vegetarian and find this breakfast recipe (if you eat eggs) to be endlessly adaptable to whatever you have on hand. Includes pasta, veggies, eggs, and cheese. I bake mine in a casserole dish and then slice and wrap to grab on the way out the door. Not at all fruit related, but maybe helpful if you're looking for a more balanced breakfast recipe. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/chicken-and-orzo-frittata-recipe/index.html
