We know, we know. Kale first thing in the morning is intense. How can you process so much excitement this early? Phew. Kale, you saucy devil.

4. Slow cooker banana overnight oats

A slow cooker is all you need to make oatmeal an easy crowd-pleaser. It’s time for your own “ Breakfast Club ,” starring Oatmealio YEStevez.

6. Cinnamon monkey bread

This combines two of our favorite things in the world: monkeys and bread. It’s the best combo since chimpanzees and Segways. (No monkeys were harmed in the making of this dish.)

7. Brown sugar banana French toast

Like pancakes, French toast would be annoying to make for a crowd in its usual form. Zut alors! (Note: There is absolutely nothing French about French toast.)

6. French Toast Bake

Everything you love about French toast in an easy-to-make breakfast casserole.

1. Chocolate Banana Bread Babka (12 servings)

Everyone knows the best part of brunch is the assortment of pastries that serve as a “side dish”—it’s even better when the pastries are homemade.

2. Sheet Pan Eggs with Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese (12 servings)

We know eggs are a crowd-pleaser, but we refuse to play the role of short-order cook. Enter these sheet pan eggs, which make big-batch cooking easy-peasy.

6. Quiche with Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Crust (6 to 8 servings)

Quiche is a breakfast classic. But quiche with a sweet potato crust? Wait for the crowd to go wild.

7. Slow-Cooker Mediterranean Frittata

It looks really fancy, but it’s almost entirely hands off. Bonus: You can customize to your heart’s content. Don’t like goat cheese? Use cream cheese. Prefer green peppers? Go for it.

Eggs

If you like your scrambled eggs soft and moist instead of drier and fluffy, you'll want to cook them gently over low heat, and start them in a cold nonstick skillet to keep them from seizing up. Residual heat will keep cooking the eggs after you take them off the burner, so pull them a few seconds before they look completely done.

Pancakes and Waffles

Making pancakes from scratch isn't a super-fast project—unless, of course, you've thought ahead and made your own mix out of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar, for keeping in the pantry at all times.

More

This recipe takes only 45 minutes and makes a batch of a dozen muffins—plenty to feed a hungry extended family. And each muffin is utterly packed with blueberries, thanks to a 1:1 ratio of blueberries to flour by weight. That might make the batter seem a little thick, but it helps keep the berries from all sinking to the bottom.
