When you need something to snack on with your pumpkin spice latte, there’s no question that a slice of this pumpkin bread is in order. Canned pumpkin and a generous spoonful of cinnamon give this recipe the best possible fall flavors. Top it off with a sweet cinnamon glaze, and you might not be able to stop at just one piece.

Brunch or dessert? This yummy pull-apart bread can be both! Top off the flaky bread dough with chopped pears, brown sugar, and cardamom for a treat that’s perfect for fall. While it’s still warm, drizzle on maple icing and be sure to nab your slice.

Even the most dedicated cheese-lovers out there will agree that we couldn’t possibly add any more to this ultracheesy recipe.

Mix in the last of your fresh summer blueberries with cinnamon-spiced monkey bread for a summer-meets-fall brunch treat.

Serve this gooey recipe with a few shreds of orange zest on top for an added burst of citrus.

Start your day off with a taste of chocolate by making this cocoa-filled pull-apart bread. To make the chocolate flavor even richer, add a scoop of espresso powder to the dough before baking.

The best thing about this Cheddar and Bacon Loaf is that it can fit in at any meal of the day.

All you need to do to throw together this savory snack is mix up the filling, spread it onto baguette-style bread, and bake.

When you’re the designated brunch host for the week, pulling together a mouthwatering meal on a weekend morning can definitely be stressful.

Although these pull-apart rolls look just like cinnamon rolls, they taste like all of your favorite fall treats. Speed up the process a little by starting with refrigerated breadsticks.

Pesto isn’t just for pasta—it’s great on pull-apart bread, too—especially when paired with Parmesan cheese and biscuits sprinkled with Italian seasoning. Enjoy all the yumminess with a serving of marinara sauce on the side.

This monkey bread recipe is definitely more dessert than brunch. Many monkey bread recipes are topped with a gooey caramel sauce, but this recipe takes it a step further: Each bite of biscuit dough has a chocolate-covered caramel tucked inside! Each piece you pull off is made better by the melty, sweet surprise inside.

This monkey bread is packed with so many superstar, stand-out ingredients, we almost don’t know where to start.

It serves 10, but even if you have a smaller crowd, there’ll be no trouble making every last bite disappear!
