Author Notes: I was inspired to make a warm, autumnal dish after inviting friends over to join in a last-minute weekend brunch. This is a quick recipe to assemble and the dry ingredients can be mixed the night before and kept in an airtight container for faster morning prep. Easily adaptable for your tastes with seasonal ingredients. Delicious served hot alongside pork sausage or cold and covered with milk. —rachellynnec
