Holiday breakfasts are one of our favorite things: everyone coming downstairs in their pajamas, gathering around the table, living out that cereal commercial life—except for the one person tasked with putting it all together. Thankfully, that generous (and sleep-deprived) soul need not suffer any longer: These seven recipes feed a crowd but require minimal prep work. Meaning breakfast is happy for all, as it should be.

1. Flourless Apple Pie Pancakes

These pancakes are full of healthy substitutions—honey, Greek yogurt, and almond milk in place of sugar, butter, and milk—and they’re none the worse for it. The recipe also calls for oat flour, but all that means is throw some old-fashioned rolled oats in a food processor or coffee grinder. Mix all the ingredients together into a batter for a quick and delicious breakfast with just five minutes of cooking time.

2. Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

First, just look at it. This pumpkin pie oatmeal is beautiful. Second, it’s so easy—just combine the ingredients (oats, pumpkin purée, almond milk, vanilla extract, and autumnal spices) and cook for ten minutes. Instant-breakfast!

3. Spaghetti Squash and Quinoa Fritters

Another beaut, these fritters are perfect to make en masse—it’s in their fritter nature. They’re a great option if you’re looking for a low-carb, high-protein breakfast. Spaghetti squash, we just can’t quit you.

4. Crustless Quiche

Cutting out the crust puts a healthy spin on the traditional quiche, and just a bit of your favorite firm cheese keeps it mouthwatering—and gives you an extra dose of calcium.
