Hi guys, this is the main post of four going up today! Now we’re officially into autumn, it’s finally starting to get colder and smoothie season is definitely over, I wanted to dedicate a post to autumnal breakfast ideas. Two of these recipes went up in recent weeks, and three of them are new. Originally, I was going to add the three new recipes to this post, but that was getting a little too long so they’ve all linked to this anchor post instead.
I wanted to make most of them easy to have when you’re in a hurry on a morning, so most of them are something you can make at the weekend and eat throughout the week. They are all seasonal flavours, think apple, plums and lots of cinnamon.
The only exception is my cinnamon apple pancakes, but I thought it was only fair to include one more weekend breakfast/ brunch idea too.
All of these recipes are vegan and gluten free, most are also soy free.
Peanut Butter Pretzel Granola
This was the first recipe I made using my homemade date syrup and I’ve used that a lot since. The date syrup makes the granola recipes able to be oil free and refined sugar free.
Cinnamon Pecan Granola
Speaking of granola, this one is so autumnal and warming. Cinnamon, pecans and dried fruit. This one also contains my date syrup, making this one oil free and refined sugar free too.
Apple and Walnut Loaf
This one is perfect for this time of year as not only does it contain autumnal ingredients, but it can be eaten hot or cold on those chilly mornings.
Spiced Plum Jam
I was so happy with how the photos turned out for this one. If you only click on one of these recipes, please look at this one. I know jam isn’t technically a breakfast food on its own, but you could add it to oats or something toasted, or layer it in an overnight recipe. Still eating your everyday foods but making it a touch more seasonal.
Plums in general I think are a very underrated fruit, but they’re one of the very few fruits that are actually in season at this time of year and they taste so good with the autumnal spices. Most jam recipes I saw used equal amounts sugar and plums, which is a lot. So, I decided to half the sugar and use chia seeds to help it thicken and set. Obviously, it still contains quite a bit of sugar, but it’s still healthier than most alternatives.
Cinnamon Apple Pancakes with Date Caramel Sauce
Last, but not least, we have our weekend option. I’ve mentioned several times before that I’m not a fan of bananas, so I used the concept of a banana pancake recipe but used unsweetened applesauce instead. And I added cinnamon because it’s autumn and you’re supposed to add cinnamon to everything. The sauce is simply dates, water, and maca powder to give it that caramel flavour without making it too unhealthy.
Which of these looks the best to you? Tell me your favourite autumnal breakfasts in the comments!
Until next time,
Sophie
Wow these all look so yummy Sophie! I think the cinnamon apple pancakes would be up my street. The caramel sauce sounds like it goes really well with it. I’m not usually very adventurous with breakfast – a bagel, avocado and eggs for me haha! xx

These breakfasts look so good! I’m really slacking with breakfast as I only really have toast or cereal and it’s very boring! Really loving the idea for the spiced plum jam I’m actually craving bagels right now! Great post x
Those cinnamon apple pancakes sound amazing!! I’ve been getting into changing up my breakfasts lately and trying new things, so this post couldn’t have come at a better time.

Love this post, and these breakfast ideas are just perfect! Love the idea of spiced plum jam, might have to give this a whirl myself 🙂 its not your first thought of autumn food, but so relevant to the reason right?
I love jam but havent had it for breakfast in soo long but spiced plum sounds like something i’d really enjoy!
A lot of these are a bit too healthy for me, but the pancakes look DELICIOUS!
Omg the spiced plum jam looks amazingggggg! Also the cinnamon and apple pancakes! I’m going to make them next week as a weekend treat! Thanks for the recipes – making my mouth water as always lol!

I think my favourite HAS to be the spiced jam, its so autumnal and perfect for a quick toast breakfast – which I only ever seem to have time for! ♥︎
I think this is such a great post! I don’t know about anyone else but I get so lazy with my breakfast sometime but ideas like this for breakfast will definitely get me out of bed earlier!! Definitely the pancake excite me most!
Wow such awesome recipes! It can make anyone hungry! Loved it.
With autumn kicking in full gear, these breakfast ideas are perfect! Yum!!! My boyfriend would LOVE the peanut butter pretzel granola. Oooh, I’d appreciate the pecan granola. I love how nutty these recipes are. I like that you swap ingredients out for something that fits your appetite. Thanks for sharing these!

The pancakes and the loaf sound amazing! How great that all of these are vegan and gluten free 🙂 Clare xx | https://www.clayaa.com

Some great suggestions here, Sophie! I’d probably opt for the pancakes, they sound and look delicious! xxx
I want to make all of these now!
I don’t think I could choose but I’ll definately be trying the cinnamon pecan granola! With apple yoghurt!!
These all look pretty delicious! I think my favourite is the cinnamon apple pancakes they look amazing! I rarely have a nice breakfast, I’m usually always in a rush so I end up just having a bowl of cereal!!

I struggle with breakfast as I’m quite fussy but this has really helped!! Each of these look and I bet taste soo good!!! Thank you for the help x
I think every single one of these recipes looks utterly delicious. I love pancakes and granola but the one that intrigues me most is your plum jam. I make plum jam, peach jam, and damson jam and the sugar to fruit ratio has always concerned me. I’m going to try your recipe next time! X

Peanut butter, cinnamon, and pancakes are three of my hisband’s favorites so he will be happy to give these a try. Thanks for sharing.
All of these recipes looks delicious. I am always on the lookout for new recipes to try and will make sure to give these a go!
I really want to try your pretzel granola! I love pretzels and haven’t had them in ages, and that recipe sounds so delicious I’m also planning on making some jams soon, so I’ll definitely be trying out the plum jam and chia seeds. Such a good idea!
You are do adventurous with your meals. I don’t like certain ingredients but I can adapt these with all things. I love the colder weather, with warm breakfasts and lots of stews. Thank you for sharing Sophie xx
The weekend pancakes looks delicious. I should take the time to make them this weekend. Also the apple and walnut loaf. Yummie
The last one, cinnamon apple pancakes make me hungry. Ginger bread waffles top my breakfast list !
