These gorgeous, spicy scones are perfect for enjoying with your afternoon tea, filled with jam, vegan cream, or vegan yogurt. Even though it’s only fall, it’s never too early to start enjoying festive food and flavors like gingerbread! The Gingerbread Scones by Holly Jade are simple and easy to make, and you can rustle up a batch within 30 minutes.
2. Polenta Frittata With Mushroom, Tomato, and Basil

This Polenta Frittata With Mushroom, Tomato, and Basil by Hannah Sunderani is here to answer your savory breakfast prayers! Polenta mixed with spices, fresh cherry tomatoes, and white mushrooms are baked in the oven until crisp outside and indescribably “eggy” on the inside. The result was savory bliss that resembles egg frittata bakes.
3. Roasted Tomato and Herb Quiche

This Roasted Tomato and Herb Quiche recipe by Jessica DeMarra is a little more hands-on but totally worth it, especially if you’re making it to share with someone special. Feel free to substitute roasted sunflower seeds instead of the pine nuts for a nut-free option (though I have not tested this version out). Fresh herbs and tomatoes shine in this summery breakfast, brunch, or anytime dish. This recipe is adapted from At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen: Celebrating the Art of Eating Well
4. Monkey Bread Cinnamon Rolls

This monkey bread is like lots of baby cinnamon rolls stacked together. Each piece of dough is rolled into a little ball, dipped into cinnamon sugar, and then baked into a mountain of sticky, gooey, fluffy, tender, and oh-so-delicious bread and to top it all off a drizzling of cinnamon icing. To eat these Monkey Bread Cinnamon Rolls by Lauren Wright, simply tear off the balls, kind of like how monkeys tear and pick at their own food. The smell of this bread, as it cooks, is incredible as the fragrance of cinnamon drifts through the kitchen.
5. Overnight French Toast Bake

This Overnight French Toast Bake by Hannah Sunderani is cozy, cinnamony and so very comforting! It’s a great way to use up a day-old baguette and makes for a delicious brunch recipe to please a crowd.
