I couldn’t be more grateful to be celebrating my third(!!) Mother’s Day this month with three beautiful boys. Motherhood is crazy, exciting, scary, fun and every emotion in between, and moms truly are superheroes! Big shout out to all of the mothers and mother figures out there — you’re absolutely incredible.
This weekend I put together over 50 of the best brunch recipes that are perfect for Mother’s Day. Whether you get to cook them for her in person or are celebrating afar, these Mother’s Day brunch recipes are ones she’ll love.
You’ll find a mix of sweet and savory, and I’ve indicated them as vegan, vegetarian and/or gluten free for easy scrolling.
Pick out a few of her favorites, get cooking and baking, and enjoy! Sending love from this mama to all of the others out there.
Gluten free = GF
Vegan = V
Vegetarian = VT

AHH so many options to chose from! Brunch is my FAVORITE so this is pretty much the best round up ever. 🙂
Thanks so much for including my scones Monique!!! Also, omg, I need to make that brown butter blueberry coffee cake – seriously calling my name. xoxo
Of course they’re GORGEOUS! And yes – that coffee cake is such a classic <3
Now… how do I choose a recipe? The quiche looks amazing. The healthy blueberry pancakes might be the winner for Saturday morning for brunch with my mom!
So many great ones here – I always like to pick a sweet + a savory 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing these great suggestions for Mothers Day Brunch. As I looked through your list there are so many wonderful recipes, it is hard to decide which ones to make now and which ones to save for later. May you have a wonderful Mothers Day!
Absolutely! I hope you find some in here to try 🙂
Wow it looks really delicious and beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Love you respite
Thanks, Karen!
All the recipes are so good but I can not cook all of them on mother day because it too many.
I wonder if these dishes are too sweet. However, after trying them, I think that they are the combination of a perfect recipe. They can help you get a burst of energy in the morning.
