There’s something extra special about sweet breakfasts. They bring back memories of mornings long ago and can even coax the most breakfast-opposed among us to the table. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday with family or a busy weekday that needs a little excitement, sweet breakfasts just feel more joyful. We asked the Allrecipes Allstars—a group of enthusiastic home cooks just like you—to share their favorite sweet breakfasts, and they didn’t disappoint. From muffins to French toast and everything in between, there’s a breakfast recipe here for every kind of sweet tooth.

Overnight Blueberry French Toast
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
This one-of-a-kind blueberry French toast casserole is bursting with fresh blueberries and covered with a rich blueberry sauce. “I have a major sweet tooth, so sweet and breakfast go hand in hand for me,” says Allstar Kim Mancuso. “This is a family favorite, which I make for Christmas morning. I like it because I can prep it the night before, and just pop it into the oven in the morning.”

The only thing better than pancakes? Pancakes swirled with a butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon filling. Allstar Stacey Freeman agrees: “My kids love cinnamon everything, so this was a huge hit! I also loved that it was such an easy recipe for me to make on a weekday.”

French Breakfast Puffs
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
These unassuming muffins transform into something special after they take a dip in melted margarine and cinnamon-sugar while they’re still warm. “This recipe is a childhood favorite!” says Allstar Amy Barnes. She also loves the convenience aspect: “I like making batches of muffins or quick bread loaves, especially in the summer. It’s easy to keep things in the fridge and bring them out for quick breakfasts.”

Baked Yogurt Custard Toast
John Mitzewich
Allstar Ashley Schuering is a big fan of Chef John’s Baked Yogurt Custard Toast. “Yogurt toast is awesome!” she says. “It tastes like a cheese danish, and I can make it in my toaster oven without having to heat up the kitchen. I like to sprinkle berries on top.”

This peach French toast has us dreaming of summer, and we’re not the only ones. “This is so good to make when peaches are in season,” says Allstar Brenda Venable. “The recipe calls for canned, but 4 1/2 cups of fresh peaches take it over the top. I make for summer visitors. It’s so convenient to make the night before!”

Fluffy Pancakes

The goldilocks of pancakes, these promise to turn out just right. “The best pancakes we’ve found,” says Allstar Bri Evans. “We make these on Sundays when the family is home together and wants to spend time smiling and cutting up at the table. The kids love to help me make them.”

Chocolate Waffles
Allrecipes / Abbey Littlejohn
“Life is short—have chocolate waffles for breakfast!” says Allstar Elizabeth Dalton, and we’d have to agree. It’s hard to have a bad day after starting it with this fun, chocolaty goodness. We also love that you can make this special breakfast treat as simple or as decadent a splurge as you want with added toppings.

Clone of a Cinnabon
Meredith Food Studios
These copycat Cinnabon rolls look like a million bucks—not far off from what you’ll save by skipping the mall. They’re equally perfect for a lazy weekend or brunch with friends. “I usually make things like French toast, scones, or cinnamon rolls for special occasion breakfasts,” says Allstar Kim Shupe. “These are my favorite cinnamon rolls.”

Dutch Babies
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
Allstar Lorraine Rector loves to make whatever makes her family happy, and that often means these Dutch babies. “When family visits on Christmas morning, they always request these,” she says. A cross between a pancake and a popover, this light-yet-filling breakfast treat is best served warm with maple syrup and lemon wedges.

Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
Allrecipes / Qi Ai
Need a change from your standard cinnamon streusel coffee cake? “This one is wonderful,” says Allstar Sarah Kornbrek. “It tastes like the Entemann’s cakes, but better. I change up the preserves—cherry and peach are great in the summer. I bought some pineapple preserves I’d like to try next. It’s a great way to try new preserves at our farmers market.”

Strawberry Buttermilk Cake
Allrecipes / Qi Ai
Allstar Yolanda Gutierrez developed this Strawberry Buttermilk Cake for breakfast, but her family had other plans: “I made this as a breakfast cake, but it’s so good that my family eats it for dessert.” With fresh strawberries and cast-iron baking, this might be the most comforting way to start your day.
