15+ Christmas Morning Breakfast Ideas

Every Year I host a Christmas Family Brunch at our house.  It's traditionally been my way to be able to see everyone in the family at least for a little while on Christmas day. After that we tend to get scattered in every direction visiting various other pieces of the family but I look forward to Christmas morning brunch every year.  

Usually I will make homemade eggs Benedict, Cinnamon french toast, fruits, muffins, hash browns, bacon and sausage and usually some kind of breakfast casserole too!  But I do like to add something new into the mix each year to spice things up too.  There are so many awesome overnight breakfast casseroles and baked french toast recipes out there in Pinterest land so I thought I would put some of the yummy and easy looking ones that I have found together in a blog post for inspiration!  

Do you have a big Christmas Breakfast or do you keep it low key?

Crackleberry Muffins

This is my go to yummy and simple muffin recipe!  It was adapted from my Aunty Jane's muffin recipe she used to make for the family at gatherings we had when I was a kid.  I remember all her recipes fondly but this one especially.  Muffins are an easy breakfast item to have prepared ahead of time that you can enjoy on Christmas morning along with a hot cup of coffee while you watch the kids unwrap their gifts.

Overnight Cinnamon Apple Baked French Toast

One of the great things about this french toast casserole is that because it’s so easy to prepare, you can totally enjoy time with your family rather than spend a bunch of time making breakfast. Particularly at the holidays, with so much going on and so much food being prepared, it allows you to get some prep work done ahead so you can spend the morning with your family. That’s how I like it. This recipe is from Lifeloveandsugar but I've added a few modifications to make it a bit healthier like swapping sugar for honey and brown sugar for coconut palm sugar.  

Ingredients:

Casserole

1 lb loaf Sourdough Or French Bread, cut into chunks (Whole wheat to make this a bit cleaner)
3 cups (326g) chopped apples (2 large apples)
8 large eggs
2 cups (480ml) milk (whole or 2%)
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup (104g) sugar (I would probably switch to honey)
1/4 cup (36g) light brown sugar, unpacked (I would probably use coconut palm sugar)
2 tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Streusel Topping

3/4 cup (98g) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (169g) firmly packed brown sugar (I would probably use coconut palm sugar)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp apple pie spice
1/2 cup (112g) salted butter, cut into pieces

Directions:

1. Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish.
2. Combine the bread chunks and chopped apples and lay in an even layer in the bottom of the dish.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients, minus the streusel, and pour evenly over bread. Cover the casserole and store in the fridge overnight.
4. When ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
5. Bake the casserole for about 35-40 minutes.
6. While casserole bakes, in another bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the streusel. Add the butter and mash into the dry mixture until it forms a crumbly mixture.
7. Remove the casserole from the oven and crumble the streusel over the top of the casserole.
8. Continue baking casserole for about 5 minutes, or until the streusel is melted over the top.
9. Serve the casserole warm with syrup.

Greek Yogurt Berry Parfaits

I’m sure you’ve realized that I love Greek yogurt. Like love-love Greek yogurt. It’s seriously the best thing ever, especially since it’s such a good fit to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Plus, it’s loaded with protein!! So what better way to fuel you for a busy day of tearing open wrapping paper and baking a turkey then a healthy greek yogurt parfait!?

Just layer greek yogurt with granola and berries, dried fruit, nuts and seeds or whatever else you like!

Sausage Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole

If you prefer a hearty breakfast casserole then you might like this easy one! You can buy fresh sausage meat at the butcher and you can even shred your own hash browns, but there are also some pretty good brands out there now making shredded hash browns without any added ingredients!  This Sausage Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole is perfect for Christmas morning. It can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until you are ready to pop it in the Oven. Pop this casserole in the oven when you get up and it will be ready after all the presents are open.

Pancake Sliders

No recipe here, just a great image that I found online and an even better idea!  If the kids want pancakes  you can dress yours up and turn them into a hearty Breakfast Slider Sandwich! Just add bacon, egg, cheese and whatever else you fancy in between two big pancakes and bang you've got a breakfast to take you through the busy Christmas morning!

Make Ahead Breakfast Enchiladas

Aside from being easy, these are versatile, which is always a bonus to me. Don’t like ham? Use turkey. Or sausage. Can’t live without bacon? Go for it! Want some spice? Add a jalapeño. Not crazy about cheddar? Try a different cheese. Customize this to your liking. (I do, however, highly recommend you not skip the sour cream and salsa – it’s like that something extra that brings it all home.)

White Chocolate Cranberry Scones

It wouldn't be Christmas morning without some fresh baked pastries right!  I think these Cranberry white chocolate scones look and taste festive enough for Christmas morning don't you think?  

I would swap out the white flour for whole wheat and make sure to use organic cane sugar in place of plain white refined sugar too!

Easy Breakfast Braid

Normally I wouldn't post a recipe on the blog using the Crescent rolls or sheets as those just aren't a healthy/real food product BUT you can make your own homemade Crescent Roll Dough very easily.  Here is a Crescent Roll recipe you can use.   This recipe looks super good and the breakfast braid looks so fancy after it is baked. Do not let the fancy look intimidate you however. This recipe is supposed to be super easy to put together!

Christmas Quotes I love

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you probably know I love motivational quotes and share at least one daily.  I came across some Christmas quotes recently and picked out a few I loved that I thought I would share here with you! I hope you find one that speaks to you too!  

Feel free to share on social media or pin to pinterest too!  I'd love to know which one you like best or if you have a fav that I haven't included let me know I'd love to hear it!   

Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas -- perhaps -- means a little bit more! -Dr. Seuss

Peace on earth will come to stay, When we live Christmas every day. -Helen Steiner Rice

Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given--when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes. -Joan Winmill Brown

One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly. -Andy Rooney

Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas. -Peg Bracken

The spirit of Christmas is found when we lift the load of others. -Toni Sorenson

When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things - not the great occasions - give off the greatest glow of happiness. -Bob Hope

Christmas makes me schmaltzy. I'm proud to be level-headed, even a little tough most of the time. But once a year I like to believe that peace on earth may be possible and calories don't count. -Sue Merrell

Yes! Yes I do! I like Christmas! I love Christmas! -Ebenezer Scrooge

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. -Charles Dickens

My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that? -Bob Hope

Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart...filled it, too, with melody that would last forever. -Bess Streeter Aldrich

At Christmas play and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year. -Thomas Tusser

Christmas is not only where you find it, it's what you make of it. -Trina Schart Hyman

I wonder whether the Christmas feeling has anything to do with the sixth sense. Perhaps we're a little more the angels at Christmas than we are during the rest of the year. And Christmas is about all the other senses. I can smell Christmas, I can taste Christmas, and I can see and hear it. -Jostein Gaarder

Christmas gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things around us - a time when we can look back on the year that has passed and prepare for the year ahead. David Cameron

It's true, Christmas can feel like a lot of work, particularly for mothers. But when you look back on all the Christmases in your life, you'll find you've created family traditions and lasting memories. Those memories, good and bad, are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul. Caroline Kennedy

As we give presents at Christmas, we need to recognize that sharing our time and ourselves is such an important part of giving. Gordon B. Hinckley
