Allrecipes' editorial guidelines Published on August 24, 2020 Close Photo: redjetta The long-awaited flavors of fall are finally here, and that means basking in all that is spiced, fruited, and filled with nuts. And although pumpkin may have what feels like an intractable grip on the sweet and savory breads of the season, there is more to autumn than just pumpkin. We've compiled 12 of our favorite breads — both savory and sweet — that go beyond pumpkin to showcase the best tastes of autumn. 01 of 12 Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bread View Recipe AshMiller1017 Although this sweetened style of loaf bread does contain all of the components of a warming autumn breakfast — oatmeal, cinnamon, and apple — it's more of an anytime bread, and is a great representation of the season's flavors. Allrecipes home cooks agree. "I made it for a Christmas party and have already received requests for the recipe. And it makes my kitchen smell heavenly," says KMB224. 02 of 12 Cheddar Biscuits View Recipe Regina In Georgia As the thermostat drops, the need for cheese rises, and Cheddar is the perfect complement to any chilly autumn evening. These Cheddar biscuits are, as some Allrecipes home cooks have discovered, compulsively good. "These were SO GOOD. I could barely stop eating them," says CSANDST1. Made with biscuit mix, they're quick and easy to make as well. 10 Desserts That Start With Biscuit Mix 03 of 12 Raspberry/Pear/Pecan Bread View Recipe pelicangal The last of summer's berries come together with rich fall fruit and nuts in this perfectly autumnal loaf.

Walnuts, coconut, and sweet potatoes come to life in this bread, which really highlights the brilliance of fall flavors. 07 of 12 Sausage and Sweet Corn Muffins View Recipe Chef John Before corn is completely gone for the season — with luck, you can still grab an ear or two well into October — make these fantastic and multi-purpose muffins, which are just as good as a side dish as they are as a substitute for breakfast.

"Delicious and won't change a thing," says 1kid5kids. 10 of 12 Cinnamon Sour Cream Biscuits View Recipe Brent D Coffey These flaky biscuits retain their moisture through the addition of sour cream.
