12 Thanksgiving Breakfast Ideas for a Crowd

This pumpkin baked oatmeal reheats (and freezes) perfectly, so it’s one of my favorite Thanksgiving breakfast ideas to make ahead. Let guests reheat individual slices in the microwave, or warm the whole pan in a 325°F oven before topping with a sweet vanilla glaze.

These soft, gooey rolls are my family’s go-to Christmas breakfast, and they fit right in at Thanksgiving too. I like to assemble them the night before and bake them in the morning. Everyone loves digging in while they’re still warm from the oven!

Filled with eggs, potatoes, veggies, and cheese, this hearty breakfast casserole is one of my mom’s favorite brunch recipes for a crowd. Assemble it the night before and bake it off in the morning, or bake the whole thing in advance and reheat on the holiday.

Fluffy, moist, and warmly spiced, these easy pancakes are a fun way to kick off Thanksgiving with cozy fall flavors. This recipe makes 10 to 12 pancakes, so I’d double it if you’re serving 5 or more.

Fresh cranberries aren’t just for cranberry sauce! They add delicious tart flavor to these moist, orange-scented muffins. Top them with a 2-ingredient orange glaze for an extra-festive breakfast treat!

You’re already making pie crust for dessert, so no need to mess with it for breakfast! Instead of serving a classic quiche, bake up this one sans crust. Filled with broccoli and Gruyère, it’s flavorful and satisfying. Bonus: It reheats perfectly if you make it ahead.

If you’re serving a crowd, making this French toast casserole is so much easier than flipping regular French toast to order. It’s crisp on top, custardy in the middle, and can be assembled the night before. Bake it in the morning for a delicious Thanksgiving breakfast!

Two for me, please! These pumpkin muffins are super moist, perfectly spiced, and loaded with gooey chocolate. They’d be such a tasty way to start Thanksgiving Day.

When it comes to easy breakfast ideas for Thanksgiving, it’s hard to beat a Dutch baby. The 7-ingredient batter comes together in the blender, and it bakes in just 15 minutes. Make 2 if you have a large group—your guests will devour this custardy breakfast treat in no time.

When I need to serve brunch for a special occasion, I almost always make a frittata. I love to change up the vegetables depending on the season. Try using a combination of roasted butternut squash and sage for Thanksgiving!

If you’d like to stick to lighter fare before Thanksgiving dinner, this cinnamon-spiced granola is a great option for breakfast. Set it out with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit, and let guests assemble their own bowls in the morning!

These mini scones are one of my favorite fall breakfast treats, and they’d be perfect for Thanksgiving! They’re filled with diced apple and chopped pecans and topped with a vanilla glaze.
