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 I originally made this using pomegranates in the winter, but now that it’s spring, I would use fresh berries instead.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.

Morning! You absolutely can’t go wrong with avocado toast topped with a fried egg. Or waffles, they are always a good idea! Oh and coffee, endless coffee.
I lean toward the sweet stuff… french toast and mimosas please!
I love all things bread so French toast, muffins, coffee cakes, strudels…all the tummy things!
I love the spinach leek bacon quiche I have made in the past–my family seems to like it as well. I love to have a bowl of fruit minus strawberries (allergies in the family).
Not exactly a food but can Bloody Mary’s count? They pair so nicely with eggs and veggies!
the cinnamon french toast is to die for!
I love Benedicts and Frittatas!
Waffles with maple syrup and lots of fresh fruit!
Easy! Cinnamon buns!
Holy moly what a fab giveaway! The best brunch I ever had was at a local brewery! I had chocolate chip waffles and I also ordered myself a flight of beers. Believe it or not but I am 37 and that was my first experience with beer. I ordered fruity ones and actually enjoyed them. Those waffles tho were absolute perfect. I have a major weakness for anything chocolatey! Thank you so much for the chance to win this fab giveaway. It would totally make my day and I would be so very grateful to win.
My favorite brunch food would have to be pancakes! I’m such a sucker for dough. I also love a good veggie-filled omelette. They balance each other out. 🙂
Tofu scramble always a hit
Nothing beats a frittata loaded with sliced potatoes and herbs for brunch. Except maybe a french toast casserole.
Those mini frittatas sound awesome, might have to try those this weekend.
My favorite brunch food is cinnamon french toast
I love french toast so much paired with delicous coffee…Brunch heaven.
Definitely waffles!
Definitely an omelet made with all kinds of delicious veggies and topped with salsa and avocado. It doesn’t get much better than that.
For savory, a toss-up between shakshuka and veggie eggs benedict with a mustard hollandaise. For sweet brunch, crepes every time.
My all-time favorite brunch recipe is one that my mom has made since I was a kid – Chile Puffed Eggs. A cheesy gooey egg casserole just exploding with flavor, and not at all spicy so even kids love it! I haven’t made it in ages, but now that it’s on my mind, I think that’s what we’ll be having on Sunday! 🙂
Without a doubt, JUMBO artichokes simmered with some tea, served with garlic, vinegar, and sun dried tomatoes!
You simmer the artichokes in the tea? What kind? Fascinated 🙂
