What is the burnt offering of the morning?

Leviticus 9:17 (ESV)

17 And he presented the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning.

The reference to the burnt offering of the morning usually refers to the daily burnt offering sacrificed for the people (see Numbers 28:23; 2 Kings 16:15). In the immediate context, this is the inauguration of the daily burnt offering.
