Easy Holiday Breakfast Ideas
Whether you're looking for gluten-free Christmas brunch ideas or easy recipes to make ahead, this menu has you covered. Here's how to pull it together:
Cranberry Orange Muffins
You can bake these almond flour cranberry orange muffins up to a week ahead and freeze them. Place the frozen muffins in a cold oven and turn it on to 300 degrees. Heat the muffins until they are completely thawed, about 15-20 minutes. Once you take the muffins out of the oven, turn the temperature up to 425 degrees to roast the asparagus.
Breakfast Sausage with Sage and Smoked Paprika
For those who enjoy a savory start to their day, make these easy sausage patties the night before and refrigerate them. Then it takes just a few minutes to cook them up in the morning.
Roasted Asparagus and Eggs Hollandaise
The secret to this easy and decadent recipe is making the no-fail sauce in the blender. Poach the eggs (one or two per person) while you roast the asparagus and make the easy blender Hollandaise sauce. Top the asparagus with the eggs and drizzle with the warm Hollandaise sauce.
Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Creamy, minty hot cocoa is a perfect way to start a holiday morning. Kids of all ages love hot chocolate, and adults will enjoy the festive flavor too. Of course, you can always add a shot of espresso or coffee to your mug for a peppermint mocha inspired version. Top with whipped coconut cream for a cozy drink everyone will love.
Pumpkin Spice Coconut Lattes
To make a big batch of pumpkin spice lattes, multiply the recipe by the number of servings you need. Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan and brew a pot of extra strong coffee to use in place of the espresso. It's much easier to brew the coffee this way if you're making lattes for a crowd.
Winter Fruit Salad
Make a simple yet festive fruit salad with seasonal citrus, pear and pomegranate for a refreshing and colorful start to the morning. Slice a navel orange, blood orange, and tangerine into rounds and arrange on a platter. Slice or dice one ripe Bartlett pear and scatter the pieces throughout.
For an extra pop of color and flavor, sprinkle pomegranate arils over the top. Drizzle with a simple syrup of honey and orange juice to lightly sweeten. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Your family and guests are sure to feel the holiday spirit whether they can or can't enjoy gluten, with these tasty yet no-fuss breakfast treats. This easy festive brunch menu is definitely a crowd-pleaser.
