A group of my favorite recipes that will be perfect for Mother's Day - brunch recipes, group recipes, seasonal recipes and dessert!
Mother’s Day is this weekend! That sure came up quick! In case you need some recipe inspiration, here are a few of my favorites that I think would be perfect for the occasion. Plus, see below for an extra special giveaway 🙂
For brunch:
I love these lightly sweet Coconut Mango Muffins. I often keep them in my freezer for a weekday breakfast or snack. To make them brunch-able, serve with the mini frittatas below:
These little Mini Tomato Frittatas with Dill are as cute as they are delicious. I absolutely love the combo of dill and eggs. These little guys are also filled with kale, feta, scallions, and tomatoes.
This Blueberry Coconut Baked Oatmeal might be my favorite brunch recipe ever. It’s a sweet breakfast that’s filled with so many good-for-you things like oats, almonds, hemp seeds, coconut flakes, strawberries, and bananas.
This Shakshuka with Spinach and Harissa is a reader favorite and one of my favorites too. I just love these baked eggs in spicy tomato sauce. Serve with avocado slices and toast for dipping – yum yum!
This one just makes me drool. The Cinnamon Sugar Baked French Toast is a slightly more indulgent sweet breakfast than the baked oatmeal above and it’s a crowd pleaser, because who doesn’t love french toast! I originally made this using pomegranates in the winter, but now that it’s spring, I would use fresh berries instead.
Farmers Market Inspired Recipes:
This Fennel & Clementine Chopped Salad is so pretty! It’s a crunchy slaw-like salad that’s tossed with a ginger-miso dressing and topped with clementines, avocado, and fresh mint.
Chickpea Salad Wraps with Avocado Dill Sauce. If you love tuna salad, but not actual tuna, give these chickpea salad wraps a go! I love to eat these for lunch, but they’d also be a great springy brunch appetizer.
I’ve never actually had pizza on Mother’s Day, but this super springy Farmers Market Asparagus Potato Pizza is so elegant and fresh with those pretty asparagus ribbons that I’m sure it would be a big hit.
Dinner for a group:
You can’t go wrong with a big pan of lasagna and this Roasted Vegetable Lasagna will please vegetarians and meat-eaters alike!
For Dessert:
This Strawberry Coconut Cream Tart has a delectable almond flour crust. This is a lightly sweet, very fresh, grain-free dessert that everyone’s going to love.

I always go for the cinnamon rolls, extra frosting 🙂
I love all things brunch! Maybe waffles? I know my moms favorite thing about brunch are the Bloody Mary’s.
For brunch I love vegan cinnamon rolls with sticky walnut topping. I also love fruit salad for brunch.
Ps not the ratatouille on top of the berries and syrup, either or………
I love fried polenta with maple syrup topped with lots of fresh blueberries and strawberries!
It’s delicious as a base for ratatouille with a little cheese on top.
I love making jams and marmalade! My favorite brunch item is toasted ciabatta with tangerine/vanilla bean/cinnamon stick marmalade. (Paired with good coffee, great company, and a sweet dog resting at our feet.) ??
Oh Tofu Rancheros for sure … sounds awful I know but with crispy tofu and black beans fresh salsa, pickled carrots .. simply heaven
Just decided what to have on Mother’s Day- boom
Roasted potatoes
Yes—very simple and basic. I can’t get enough potatoes.
My above all else favorite is fried chicken and cachapas from a Venezuelan restaurant. To die for!
French Toast!!!!
Omelet, cheese grits, and bloody marys.
My favorite brunch recipe is yeasted waffles with a choice of blueberry sauce and whipped cream or real maple syrup and butter.
My favorite would have to be waffles!
Pancakes and grits ??
Challah French Toast souffle with strawberries
My favorite brunch food is pancakes!!! I love them with lots of fresh berries placed in the batter after going on the griddle. That way I can load each one up. Lots of real maple syrup, and butter.
One of my other favorites is poached eggs on toast with fresh avocado and a small green vegetable salad with balsamic vinegrette. Yum!
I love brunch!! Anything with eggs is always good. But I think the classic fluffy pancakes with blueberries are always a hit!
My favorite brunch food is crab Benedict
Home fries or just any form of potato thanks ?
Mimosas! Those count right? 🙂
