You know what time it is don't you? Yep, it's time for all things pumpkin to take over the internet.

I had to laugh when I saw this on Facebook. Of course, I shared it on my timeline and mentioned that I would be participating in the pumpkin overload. I've held back in prior years but after doing a pumpkin series this summer, I've turned into a bit of an addict.

I love this casserole any time of year, but it is especially fun in the fall. (Even though it will be a while before I experience cooler weather.)

Do you love pumpkin as much as I do? What are your favorite pumpkin recipes? What would you like to see on the blog?

Notes

Variations for Pumpkin Breakfast Casserole

  • My youngest son this casserole prefers it drier, with just 2 cups of milk. I, on the other hand, like a moister casserole and prefer to use 3 cups. You can adjust the moisture to suit your taste.
  • I love the streusel topping but if you are looking to save on calories you can reduce them by 140 per serving by leaving the topping off.
  • If quinoa isn't your thing, feel free to use all oats.  Or, if you would prefer, use just quinoa.
