National Prune Breakfast Month is observed throughout January as an invitation to enjoy prunes—dried plums—in breakfast dishes. Also known as National Dried Plum Breakfast Month, the observance encourages home cooks to incorporate prunes into morning meals, whether they are sweet or savory, hot or cold.
The month-long celebration dates back to 1985 and is associated with the California Prune Board. Prunes can be enjoyed on their own or added to breakfast foods such as cereal, baked goods, and other recipes.
How to Observe National Prune Breakfast Month
Celebrate by adding chopped prunes to cereal, yogurt, or oatmeal, or try them in a breakfast bake or on an English muffin. Experiment with both sweet and savory combinations, and enjoy a prune-based breakfast throughout January.
