Waffles, Pancakes, and Sausage
I used our easy pumpkin spice waffle recipe -find it here. The pumpkin waffles were made in a mini waffle maker. Pumpkin-shaped waffles would be great too. They're perfect for a board like this, because you can sample a little bit of everything. If you don't have a waffle maker you can use this same batter to make them into pumpkin pancakes. It's such a wonderful way to incorporate some pumpkin spice and fall vibes.
We also made some regular pancakes. To make the pancakes uniform and about the same size as the mini waffles I used an ice cream scoop for the batter. It worked perfectly and I highly recommend trying it.
We're big fans of sausage with our pancakes or waffles so I made a batch to go with them. Bacon would be a great choice too, if you prefer, or some of each.
Toppings
Part of the fun of pancakes and waffles is lots of fun toppings. I started with maple syrup -in my Canadian opinion this is always a must when it comes to pancakes. I also included a warm caramel sauce. This was especially good on the pumpkin waffles. We used our easy caramel sauce recipe here, or you can use some store bought caramel sauce. Both the syrup and caramel sauce are best served warm.
We also had some whipped cream, and toasted pecans. To toast the pecans heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat, turning them as they toast, and taking care not to burn them. Homemade whipped cream is easy to make and so delicious, but canned is a great addition too.
Fresh Fruit
I also wanted to include lots of beautiful fall fruits. We had pears, plums, blackberries, goldenberries, and fresh figs. This was such a fun way to incorporate some fruit this time of year. Apples would be a great fall choice too. Some fried apples or warm apple pie filling would be a great topping for the waffles and pancakes too.
More Options
If you wanted to incorporate some more fall brunch ideas you could add in some eggs. Some scrambled, or hard-boiled eggs would be great on this board. Pumpkin loaf would be a great addition as well -check out our pumpkloaf with honey cinnamon butter here. You really can never have too many pumpkin recipes this time of year. If you want more sweet treats. mini cinnamon rolls would be a delicious addition as well.
Putting The Breakfast Charcuterie Board Together
The breakfast board is built on a large wooden board that is a round lazy Susan. This worked perfectly for our festive brunch board, because everyone could easily spin the board and reach what they wanted. I started with the pancakes and waffles which were the star of the show, and placed them down the middle as our main focus.
Next I added all the fun additions and toppings around the pancakes and waffles. We served our syrup and caramel sauce in some black ceramic cups with the cutest little labels tied on. I also added a "Good Morning Pumpkin" pick to the waffles. I used my Cricut machine to cut out the wood labels, little pumpkin pick and the vinyl lettering. Find my Cricut cutting file here to make your own. These were such a fun addition, and helped bring the board to the next level. The pumpkin pick was one of my favorite things.
I used some black ceramic small dishes to hold the whipped cream, and the pecans. I love the contrast of the black ceramic pieces with the light wood board.
The rest of the items were arranged on the board in the extra space that was left. I included a mini pumpkin, since it fit so perfectly for fall, but it was just for decoration.
This board was such a fun breakfast to put together, and everyone loved it. It was also a really great combination of flavours, and only took a few simple steps to create. This easy fall brunch board would be great for any fall get together. It's the perfect way to start your day on special occasions or just to enjoy the flavors of the season..
With a beautiful fall breakfast board like this to enjoy, life really is a party!
