Crowd-pleasing cinnamon rolls can transform a weekend breakfast into a morning to remember. This is one of our Test Kitchen's favorite breakfast recipes and they feature a special ingredient: mashed potatoes. Don't worry, it won't add flavor but rather give your breakfast bread a flaky, delicious texture. Try our delicious flavor variations (hello, caramel-pecan!). Make these up to 24 hours in advance for an easy-going morning.

No need to go to the bakery when you can make homemade donuts from scratch. Our Test Kitchen recommends using a food processor to easily get the dough prepared, but a hand mixer will also do the trick. Alongside a steaming cup of coffee or milk, this is a breakfast recipe idea that will definitely start your day right.

You really can't go wrong with a classic pancake recipe. Enjoy your pancakes simply with butter and maple syrup or try this delicious cider-maple syrup for a touch of fall flavor. With a side of eggs and breakfast potatoes, you'll be set.

Test Kitchen Tip: Keep cooked pancakes warm while you cook the rest by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet and keeping in a warm oven (200°F to 250°F).

Carrot Cake Refrigerator Oatmeal

Oatmeal for breakfast is far from boring when it tastes like carrot cake. Making overnight oats for a quick breakfast option is great for those days you don't have time to make anything, but need some nutrients. Top your oatmeal with walnuts for crunch and some extra pineapple for added sweetness.
