Pumpkin breakfast recipes

I’m one of those people who LOVES waking up in the morning because I’m a “morning person.” I often get asked how I can possibly so energetic in the morning and well, to tell the truth, it’s because I LOVE me some breakfast! So in honour of the Fall season, here are some of my top favourite Pumpkin breakfast recipes!

90% of the time I end up eating a beautiful fruit plate but it’s getting chillier here in Vancouver and unfortunately, the amount of seasonal fruit that’s available has dwindled down…a whole lot. Which means, I’m breaking out the pots and pans to make myself some delicious Pumpkin breakfast recipes!
