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 I originally made this using pomegranates in the winter, but now that it’s spring, I would use fresh berries instead.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

These are fantastic ideas!! I absolutely love breakfast tacos for brunch 🙂
I love the idea for the mini frittatas. This is perfect for adults and kids alike!
A few weeks past my parents held a wine tasting brunch at their place for friends and I. As always, my mum cooked (and cooked, and cooked) lots of delicious things to munch on.
She made a fantastic mushroom-feta-spinach frittata and (though I don’t partake) her classic pecan topped sticky buns.
This year for mothers day we’re making brunch Crepes with buckwheat purchased in Québec at a beautiful little creperie. Egg, cheese, and sweet ones, too, of course.
Definitely biscuits and gravy!
Mezze! Flatbread, labne, hummus, olives, chopped salad, hard boiled eggs, a fruit platter and ma’amul (Moroccan cookie with dates) to have with coffee. And friends and family to share it with!
waffles!!!!!
Buckwheat!
Lemon poppyseed (buckwheat!) pancakes at our local brunch place! xox
Veggie Omelette with a Bloody Maria
A nice avocado toast topped with sprouts and tomato or a thick Belgian waffle covered in fresh berries would be my favorite. Thanks for the chance to win!
My absolute favorite brunch has to be Shrimp and Grits. It’s certainly not the healthiest but it’s hard to beat.
Oh for me, it would have to be fluffy buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup & butter and a fresh mixed fruit cup!
I love baked egg casseroles and stratas!
I love Mushroom Asparagus Quiche. Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
A favorite for brunch is cinnamon raisin stuffed French toast. Topped with Greek yogurt and cinnamon, it’s pretty much perfect!
Bloody Mary’s!
Ohh….
something savory like avocado toast with tomatoes, onions, and sesame seeds!
I love a great hazelnut cappuccino, a little sweet and bitter! That with vegetable filled omelet makes the best meal!
Mmmmmm, Vegetable Kish
Anything sweet and baked…scones, muffins, quick breads. Mmmmm.
I love eating your double chocolate zucchini muffins for breakfast when I’m craving something sweet. Otherwise, my favorite brunch foods are egg based- breakfast tacos, quiche, avocado toast with an over easy egg on top. I’m drawn out of bed with the inspirational thought of “what will I cook today?” Keep up the amazing work on your blog, Jeanine!
