The first time I hosted Thanksgiving I went total overachiever and decided to host Thanksgiving brunch and dinner. While I will NEVER host an entire day of Thanksgiving eating again, it was a fun day and I do think that Thanksgiving breakfast is totally underrated.

I know some people like to not eat ALL DAY to “save up” for the big meal, but if you’ve ever seen me without regular meals, you know that the whole “save up” plan does not work for me. I get hangry super quick, and I would just rather eat all day long.

I love waking up to an easy, delicious and festive breakfast on Thanksgiving morning. I know I’m going to be cooking all day, and the last thing I want to do is make myself an elaborate breakfast. I’ve been playing around with finding the perfect make-ahead treat, and I’m pretty sure I’ve found the one.

Between the pumpkin and ricotta cheese, this bread is super…that M word that shall not be spoken. You don’t need an ounce of butter or oil, and the texture is spot on. Load that puppy up with tons of mini dark chocolate chips and you have yourself an amazing, festive and crave-worthy breakfast, snack or dessert.
