Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

There’s no doubt about it, we love our breakfast food around this house. While bacon and eggs are a lovely start to any morning, sometimes you need a change of pace. The following recipes are not for the faint of heart – from cinnamon cream cheese french toast to caramel bacon monkey bread, we’ve got you covered!

Cinnamon Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole

The crux of this dish is yummy maple cinnamon French toast, but the pièce de resistance is the gooey cream cheese pockets scattered throughout the casserole. This perfectly cuts the sweetness of the French toast and rounds out the flavor in the best way possible. Get the scrumptious recipe here!


Almond Pastry Ring

While we love any number of flaky pastry confections, we’re particularly partial to those made with almonds. Chocolate croissants are delicious, but almond croissants? So. Good. Get the recipe here!


Zucchini Parmesan Bundt Bread

This here is a savory recipe that’s just as good served as a side at the dinner table as it is served at brunch. Packed with tons of zucchini, parmesan and fresh chives, this is a light bread that will have you rethinking the sweeter, cakier versions. Get the decadent recipe here!


Caramel Chai Crescent Ring

This caramel chai crescent ring is an indulgent sweet that works just as well for breakfast as it does for dessert…speaking truthfully, it’s great at any time of day – who wouldn’t want to dig into a warm, gooey slice of this stuff?? Get the addictive recipe here!


French Toast Loaf

This French toast loaf is a total game changer. Instead of playing the waiting game with individual pieces of toast, you can prepare this breakfast ahead of time (great for entertaining!) and everyone can eat together! Get the genius recipe here!


Copy Cat Starbucks Lemon Loaf

We finally figured out the recipe that we think most closely matches Starbucks citrusy loaf. This bread is bright and zesty and the icing (our favorite part) ties everything together and has us licking our lips and reaching for another slice. Get the unbelievable recipe here!


Caramel Bacon Monkey Bread

Along with being absolutely delicious, with help from refrigerated biscuit dough, this is also an extremely easy recipe to make. Your family will think you toiled to create this epic masterpiece of sweet and savory goodness. Get the easy recipe here!


Caramel Pecan Slow Cooker French Toast

This one’s for the books, folks. We prepped it the night before to let the challah bread really soak in all the yummy flavors we threw in there, then just put it in the slow cooker and cooked it for 1 1/2 hours. That was it! Get the full recipe here!
