Mother’s Day is upon us! As such, here’s a roundup of my best Mother’s Day Brunch recipes! Some moms love flowers, some moms love candy, but I think all moms love brunch!!
Below is a collection of my brunch-worthiest recipes, just in time for Mother’s Day! The collection starts out very breakfast-y, then starts to feel a little more like dessert as you go along. Why not? We’re celebrating, right?
I’ve organized my Mother’s Day Brunch recipes into the following categories:
Sweet Rolls
Scones, Muffins, & Biscuits
Cakes
Everything Else!
Sweet Rolls
Sweet rolls are breakfast decadence, so they make perfect sense for Mother’s Day Brunch!
Mocha Sweet Rolls
Sweet rolls filled with chocolate-espresso filling, topped with espresso glazed and crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans!
These soft sweet rolls are filled with chocolate filling and homemade dulce de leche, then topped with dulce de leche cream cheese frosting swirled with chocolate ganache! The ultimate in breakfast decadence!
These Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls are soft, gooey, super cinnamony, and topped with a cream cheese glaze! They're also all dressed up for any occasion with lots of rainbow sprinkles! Note that the dough proofs in the refrigerator overnight (8-24 hours) for best flavor, so make sure to leave yourself time!
Simple and delicious, these Buttermilk Chocolate Chip Muffins will make your morning! The recipe makes a fabulous base for other flavors, so check out the recipe notes for apple-cinnamon and blueberry variations!
Okay, here I get a little crazy. Cake for brunch? Well, Julia Child did say that “A party without cake is just a meeting,” and it is a celebration, after all!
Strawberry Shortcake Layer Cake
This Strawberry Shortcake Layer Cake has three layers of tender yellow cake with fresh whipped cream and fresh strawberries! I think I could eat this every day, all summer long!
This Strawberry Angel Food Cake is light and fluffy with serious strawberry flavor thanks to freeze-dried berries! Also delicious using blueberries, with the bonus of a showstopping purple color!
A just-sweet-enough orange olive oil cake topped with candied navel, cara cara, and blood oranges! Served with a sweetened sour cream, you can definitely sneak this one in as breakfast!
A few more recipes that didn’t fit into a particular category, but would fit right in at brunch!
Blueberry Curd Tart
This Blueberry Curd Tart is a sweet pastry crust filled with homemade blueberry curd! You'll fall in love with both the flavor and that gorgeous color!!
So no matter the type of Mother’s Day gathering you’re having this year, I hope you found a recipe here that will make the day a little sweeter!
Happy Mother’s Day to all…the Moms, Grandmas, Stepmoms, those who are like moms, those who wish they were moms. Love to you all. A little extra love and hugs to those who have suffered the loss of someone who would have made your Mother’s Day complete. <3
