6 Easter Breakfast Recipes That Everyone Will Love
Easter morning holds some of my most cherished memories with my kids. I absolutely love the time I get with my family.
Maybe it’s the anticipation of the day ahead, the baskets, church, the family time, or just the excuse to make something special without rushing. Either way, it’s one of my favorite mornings to be in the kitchen.
I don’t like anything too complicated for Easter breakfast though. I want recipes that feel special, but still doable. Things you can prep ahead, bake while everyone’s waking up, or set out so people can grab what they want.
These are the recipes I keep coming back to for Easter morning. A mix of sweet, cozy, and a little savory so there’s something for everyone.
Cinnamon Rolls
If there’s one thing that feels like Easter morning, it’s cinnamon rolls.
Soft, gooey, and just sweet enough with that glaze dripping down the sides. These look like they take all day, but they don’t. And if you prep them the night before, they’re even easier.
Perfect for pulling out of the oven while everyone’s still in pajamas.

Pin Recipe Print RecipeIngredients
Dough
- 4 1/2 Cups Bread Flour Separated into 3 bowls (2 cups, 2 cups & 1/2 cup)
- 1/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Packets Instant Dry Yeast
- 1 1/3 Cup Milk
- 1/3 Cup Salted Butter Cut into cubes
- 1 egg
Cinnamon Filling
- 1/4 Cup Salted Butter
- 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Cinnamon
Icing
- 2 Cups Powdered Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Butter Melted
- 3 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 4 Tbsp Milk
Instructions
Mixing The Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, sugar and yeast
- In a microwave safe bowl, heat butter and milk in microwave for 45 seconds. (It's okay if all butter isn't fully melted!)
- Add the milk & butter mixture and egg to the flour & yeast mixture. Mix together until a thick, wet mixture is formed.
- Add an additional 2 cups of flour and mix to fully incorporate. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour until a soft dough is formed.
- Knead together dough until it becomes smooth, and soft. The final mixture should bounce back after a finger is indented into it.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, uncovered. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, uncovered.
- Roll dough into a long rectangle, about 12" by 15"
Cinnamon Filling & Assembly
- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Spread softened butter over the top of the dough rectangle, leaving a 1/2" border around the edges non-buttered.
- Sprinkle cinnamon mixture over butter layer.
- Roll dough from the 15" end into a thick log. Once rolling is complete, gently push together both ends of the log to make them even.
- Divide dough into 12 pieces by scoring the surface of the log. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the log into 12 pieces.
- Place cinnamon rolls into a buttered 9"x13" pan. Cover with a towel and place in a warm location to proof for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the icing.
Preparing The Icing
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla and milk until smooth. Spread icing onto the tops of the warm cinnamon rolls. Serve and enjoy!
everything I use in my kitchen:
Banana Pancakes
These will be one of your go-to breakfasts year-round, but they feel extra right for Easter.
Soft, fluffy, and naturally sweet from ripe bananas. I love serving them with cinnamon whipped cream and extra banana slices.
They feel cozy, but still simple.

Banana Pancakes with Cinnamon Whipped Cream
Ingredients
Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium bananas)
- 3/4 cup milk
- Sliced bananas (for serving)
cinnamon whipped cream:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mashed banana together.
- Stir in the milk.
- Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and gently mix until just combined.
- Heat a greased skillet over medium heat and scoop batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Cinnamon Whipped Cream (the best part):
- Add heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla to a mixing bowl and beat on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until soft peaks form. Serve it piled high on warm pancakes and don’t skip the extra banana slices on top.
Breakfast Burritos
I always like to have something savory on the table too.
These breakfast burritos are easy, filling, and great if you’re feeding a group. You can make them ahead, keep them warm, or even pull them from the fridge if you prepped the day before.
They balance out all the sugar in the best way.

Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients
- 10 large flour tortillas
- 10 eggs
- Clean breakfast sausage chopped into small pieces (I like the Jones brand)
- 5 Yukon gold potatoes diced small
- 2 1/2 avocados diced
- 1 container store-bought pico de gallo
- 2 1/2 – 3 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or a blend)
Seasonings & Cooking Staples
- Olive oil
- Paprika
- Garlic salt
- Pepper
- AM seasoning salt
- Milk for scrambling eggs
Instructions
- Roast the Potatoes. I used 5 Yukon gold potatoes and diced them small so they’d cook evenly and get crispy.
- Toss with: Olive oil, paprika, garlic salt, pepper, AM seasoning salt
- Roast at 425°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crispy.
- Cook the Turkey Sausage. I chopped the sausage into small pieces and cooked it in a skillet until browned and fully cooked, making sure any moisture cooked off.
Scramble the Eggs
- Whisk 10 eggs with: a splash of milk, AM seasoning salt, pepper
- Cook gently until just set and fluffy — don’t overcook.
Mix Everything in One Bowl
- Once the eggs, sausage, and potatoes were cooked, I added them all to one large bowl, then mixed in:
- Diced avocado (2 1/2 avocados)
- One container of pico de gallo
- 2 1/2–3 cups shredded cheese
- This made assembly so easy — just scoop and roll.
Assemble the Burritos
- Lay out a tortilla, scoop filling down the center, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
- I wrapped each burrito in a pre-cut foil sheet, which makes them perfect for the fridge or freezer and super easy to reheat.
French Toast Bake
I love to make when people are coming over.
You prep it the night before, pop it in the oven in the morning, and it makes your whole house smell amazing. It’s soft in the center, slightly crisp on top, and feels like a little bit of effort without actually being a lot.

French Toast Bake:
Ingredients
- 1 loaf brioche cut into cubes
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Topping:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 baking dish and add bread cubes evenly.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg together.
- Pour the mixture over the bread cubes. Make sure everything is coated!
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least a few hours)
- When ready to bake: preheat to 350F
- Mix the streusel topping by combining butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon until a crumble forms.
- Sprinkle on top and bake for 45-55 minutes (depending on how crispy you like it)
- If the top of the French toast bake is getting dark, you can cover it with foil to prevent too much browning.
Brown Sugar Pop Tarts
These are just fun.
Flaky, sweet, and a little nostalgic. They feel like something special you wouldn’t normally make, which makes them perfect for a holiday morning.
Kids love them. Adults do too!

Brown Sugar Pop Tarts
Ingredients
Filling:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Pop Tarts:
- 2 pie crusts store-bought or homemade
- 1 tablespoon butter for brushing tops
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
- Flaky salt optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the filling
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, melted butter, and salt. Stir until smooth and crumbly—it should look like a thick brown sugar paste. Set aside.
- Prepare the crusts
- Roll out your two pie crusts into even sheets. Layer one on top of the other to ensure even sizing, then cut into 6 rectangles per crust (you’ll have 12 total).
- Assemble the pop tarts
- Spoon a small amount of the brown sugar filling onto six of the rectangles, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Top each one with another rectangle of dough.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges closed, then poke a few holes in the top with a fork so steam can escape.
- Bake
- Brush the tops lightly with melted butter and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Make the glaze
- While the pop tarts bake, whisk together powdered sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and milk until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency as needed—add a little more milk if too thick.
- Finish and serve
- Once the pop tarts are slightly cooled, drizzle or spread the glaze over the tops.
- Sprinkle with flaky salt if you like that sweet-salty finish (highly recommend!).
Salted Brown Sugar Honey Iced Coffee
You can’t forget the coffee.
This iced coffee is one of those small upgrades that makes the whole morning feel a little more put together. It’s creamy, slightly sweet, and just feels like a treat.
Perfect for sipping while everything else is coming together.

Salted Brown Sugar Honey Iced Coffee Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 shots espresso (or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)
- 1 cup milk of choice (we like whole milk or coconut milk)
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Add brown sugar and honey to your espresso cup.
- Brew hot espresso directly over the sugar and honey to melt and mix.
- Fill a glass with ice and pour in your milk.
- Add the espresso mixture over the top.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt and enjoy immediately!
You don’t need to make everything!
Pick one or two things to bake, add something savory, and don’t forget the coffee.
Easter morning isn’t about a perfect spread or having everything look styled. It’s about slow moments, good food, and being together before the day gets busy.
And if there are a few crumbs on the counter and dishes in the sink by the end of it… that usually means it was a good morning.
If you make any of these recipes, I’d love to hear about it!
