Pumpkin Apple Breakfast Bake - Wholesomelicious (2024)

Sep 6

This simple Pumpkin Apple Breakfast Bake has all the yummy flavors of fall in one easy dish! Packed full of nutrients, healthy fats, and the perfect balanced nutritious breakfast! This recipe comes together in less than 10 minutes of prep time, and is so easy to transfer to the oven and bake. It’s also grain-free and Paleo!

Why Pumpkin Apple Breakfast Bake?

It’s the beginning of September, and I’ve decided to commit myself to pumpkin. Normally I wait a few more weeks, and enjoy all the apple recipes. For the compromise, I combined apples into this delicious dish!

This breakfast bake combines pumpkin puree with fresh apples, spices, full fat coconut milk, eggs, a banana for sweetness, and pecans. YOU GUYS. So. Flippin. Delicious.

And good for you!! Full of healthy fats, fiber, and protein. As a nutritionist, I am often asked for breakfast ideas that aren’t centered around eggs. Although this one contains eggs, even those who don’t like eggs can get on board with this. However, if you are looking to up the protein even more, I suggest pairing this with my Homemade Breakfast Sausage Patties! Such a delicious combo.

Can I just also tell you how hard this was to photograph? Not because of the dish itself (although it’s a bit harder than others), but because I couldn’t stop eating it. As I continued to photograph, the dish slowly disappeared.

One bite here, one more bite there….. I mean, do you blame me? You’re going to want to get started on making this one ASAP.

The ingredients are simple:

• Canned pumpkin or fresh pumpkin puree

How to make Pumpkin Apple Breakfast Bake:

• Pour it all into an 8×8 baking dish and sprinkle with pecans

A nutrient dense breakfast

Think of a fruit flavored quiche. Is that a thing? Maybe I’m not doing it justice, but just know….I’m totally obsessed. Other benefits: my house has seriously smelled amazing, it was super easy to make, my kids love it for breakfast, and it’s packed with nutrients! The addition of pumpkin, apples, cinnamon, and pecans all boost the nutrient value with healthy fats and protein. Great to make us feel fuller longer.

This dish is a perfect addition to your fall breakfast routine. I love this time of year when I make pumpkin and apple dishes to remind me of the coziness of fall. I enjoy the 8-9 month break from pumpkin so that I appreciate it even more these few short months out of the year.
