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 I originally made this using pomegranates in the winter, but now that it’s spring, I would use fresh berries instead.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 have an artichoke frittata that I love! Of course, if I am thinking about the less healthy options, I love baked goods–particularly fresh scones.
Anything with blueberries! So am looking forward to trying your baked blueberry oatmeal above!
Have to go with Huevos Rancheros.
An authentic mexican breakfast lunch my mom makes. yum!
I love pancakes!!! Not just for brunch, but for everything.
My favorite brunch food is hands down French toast. If it’s stiffed French toast, that’s even better!!
I love brunch and my favorite brunch item is egg benedict (I know it is boring but what beats than poached eggs on English muffin/toast/anything..:)
Anything with eggs and a bread!
Love my Mom’s special brunch casserole with wild rice, sausage, and mushrooms. I make a vegan version with plant based sausage. Mom’s casserole is the center piece of every special occasion. It’s absolutely scrumptious!
My favorite brunch food is a mushroom omelette and a bloody mary with lots of fixins!
I love to prepare for myself a glut. free wrap filled with humus, grated raw beets and bean sprouts… Love all those flavors together!!
Eggs and cheese on a grilled biscuit. Yum.
I love breakfast burritos with hashbrowns, avocado black beans and cheese.
If we’re out then pancakes and hash browns. If we’re home then a baked omelette, waffles and something sweet!
Cornflake hash brown casserole!
I love your vegan carrot waffles from your cookbook!! Also a hearty egg casserole, fresh muffins or breads, seasonal fruit and mimosas are always served at my brunches!! ?
I love a frittata (going to have to try those mini ones for sure!) but really I’m all about the sweeter side of brunch… something with a cinnamon crumble on top preferably.
I recently bought your cookbook! Love it! My favorite brunch food is an egg and sausage casserole. Plus a mimosa, of course!
i love eggs and toast any which way for brunch! unless i can have NY bagels, cream cheese and lox (i am not living in NY at the moment …)
I was recently a very happy mama with a lavender+honey biscuit topped with housemade fruit compote. Oh MYYYYYYYY! And an obvious must=good coffee
