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 I originally made this using pomegranates in the winter, but now that it’s spring, I would use fresh berries instead.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 love quiche, frittatas too are great brunch. A couple of weeks ago I enjoyed your roasted vegetables lasagna with my daughter and it was so good. Thanks for posting such good recipes and for the giveaways ?
I’ve been really enjoying egg frittatas with all the spring veggies!
Most definitely french toast casserole!
Anything we make with family surrounding me!
Thanks so much for the chance to win! My favorite part of brunch is a well made cappuccino. I just love them!
Waffles for sure!! With fresh fruit and real syrup. 🙂
The omelets from Bouldin Creek Cafe. So good and tons of veggies! I miss them like crazy since moving to Virginia. Also lemon ricotta pancakes. Plus coffee and a mimosa even though they kinda cancel each other out. Man… is it the weekend yet?
Favorite brunch food is definitely smoked salmon cream cheese bagel!
I love Cream Cheese and Lox on a bagel! Maybe a side of scrambled eggs, plus a really strong cup of coffee. And maybe some cookies to follow! Happy Mother’s Day!
What a fabulous thing to share! My favorite brunch is anything savory in puff pastry, plus fruit to refresh your mouth, and super strong black coffee.
So tough! I enjoy making cinnamon rolls to serve to others, but a couple of eggs, crispy bacon, and a pancake make the perfect brunch!
cant’ go wrong with bacon and french toast (with bottomless mimosas of course!!)
I love a good breakfast burrito for brunch. The best one I’ve had yet was at the Fat Cat in Chicago!
A cheddar omelette is my favorite.
Call me old-fashioned, but I love the brunch casserole. This could be strata, a french toast bake, or a pan of jammy, fruity baked oatmeal. Something about that slow bake in the oven is the embodiment of weekend luxury. We have no where to be so we can take our time in the kitchen; something that you never see on a weekday.
My absolute fav brunch food is breakfast burritos with beans, greens, feta and eggs
Red Flannel Hash! Smashed potatoes and roasted beets with horseradish sauce, along with fried eggs and a carrot/arugula salad with lemon mint dressing.
I love palacsinta or a yeasted bread
Eggs Benedict, all day. I’ve had one with prosciutto, arugula and a balsamic glaze that was one of my faves
Ooo, I love brunch.
I don’t think there’s a brunch dish I don’t like…it’s difficult to go out for brunch because of all of the options.
If I’m dining out, I pick things I usually don’t make at home, like eggs benedict.
At home, my favorite is probably homemade muffins or scones, with a pot of Assam tea. But quiches are a close second place.
