Why is it masculine?

Desayunos is masculine because it derives from the verb "ayunar" (to fast), making it literally "des-" (un-) + "ayuno" (fast), and the noun "ayuno" (fast/fasting) is masculine in Spanish, a gender inherited from Latin "ieiunium." The masculine gender stuck with the derived noun even though it underwent semantic shift to mean "breakfast."
