Recipe Roundup: Morning Baked Goods

Bake some joy this holiday season! Cookies are perfect for gifts and parties, but we have plenty of other delicious baked goods to warm up your cozy mornings, like coffee cakes, cinnamon rolls and fluffy muffins. Paired with a steaming mug of coffee, these treats are sure to please all your family members and out-of-town guests.

 

Brown Sugar-Cranberry Oat Muffins Studded with tart cranberries and packed with wholesome oats, these delicious muffins bake up moist, with nicely rounded, golden-brown tops.

Hazelnut Streusel Bread This bread is a hazelnut lover’s dream: a tender, nutty texture filled with melty chocolate chips and a thick layer of crunchy hazelnut streusel on top.

Pumpkin Coffee Cake with Brown Sugar-Pecan Streusel This autumnal coffee cake is lighter than you’d expect, with the rich flavor of pumpkin and spices, and a thick layer of crunchy brown sugar and pecan streusel.

White Chocolate Scones with Meyer Lemon Curd This delicious riff on the traditional scone includes decadent chunks of white chocolate in the pastry, and a side of tart-sweet Meyer lemon curd.

Mini Banana-Maple Pancake Muffins These gems are like little banana pancakes baked into muffin shapes, which makes them easy to pop into your mouth. Toss mini chocolate chips into the batter to take them over the top.

Gooey Cinnamon Rolls There is quite possibly no better aroma than a pan of these big, puffy rolls baking in the oven, fragrant with cinnamon, brown sugar and orange zest.

Brandied Apple Cake with Figs & Walnuts Loaded with apple chunks, dried fruit and nuts, here is a not-overly-sweet cake that’s perfect for breakfast — or even an afternoon snack.

Triple Citrus-Ginger Quick Bread Zest from three types of citrus fruit—orange lemon and lime—adds a refreshing note to this quick bread, while candied ginger lends a sweet undertone.

Buttermilk Angel Biscuits These “angel” biscuits have a wonderfully light, airy texture. Make a big batch — the dough can be refrigerated for a couple of days, so you can bake fresh biscuits, a few at a time, whenever you want them.

Figgy Cardamom Bread This braided loaf makes a stunning presentation and is easier to make than you might think. It’s based on traditional cardamom-spiked breads, with luscious dried figs added for some sparkle.
