Why go big for Mother’s Day when you can go home… with these super-easy, super-delicious brunch recipes? Sure, she loves that one local spot, but not as much as she’ll love the effort behind a homemade spread. So to help you treat Mom to something truly special (read: insanely delicious), we’ve rounded up 10 easy-to-make brunch recipes from around the web.
1. Almond Oat Banana Crepes
Share on PinterestCrepe batter gets a little lighter in this recipe, thanks to almond meal and fiber-filled oats. Shaping crepes in a pan may be a challenge, but that’s what extra fruit and Nutella (mmm, Nutella) are for.
2. Skillet Huevos Rancheros
Share on PinterestStandard brunch fare was established for a reason (it’s freakin’ delicious!) and huevos rancheros certainly fits the bill. This healthier version dials back the portion size and is vegetarian friendly (but still very hearty). The best part: You can make it in less than 30 minutes and add in any stray veggies in your refreigerator to boost nutritional value even more.
3. Peanut Butter and Banana Waffles
Is mom vegan? These waffles are too (though we highly recommend them for non-vegans as well). Protein-packed peanut butter never disappoints in the flavor department and will also keep your guest of honor satisfied ’til dinner.
4. Blood Orange and Champagne Mimosas
This already-simple recipe gets a flavor boost with blood orange soda. Blood oranges are a tart upgrade from an orange, so OJ’s benefits—tons of vitamin C and potassium—stay put.
5. Spinach, Artichoke, and Sun-Dried Tomato Fritatta
Here’s a flavorful frittata that errs on the classic menu side. Main ingredients—spinach, artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes—pair perfectly with fresh basil and feta. It’s truly egg-cellent.
6. Whole-Wheat Coffee Cake Muffins
This is definitely a contender for the ultimate two-in-one recipe. And since whole-wheat flour isn’t as heavily processed as white flour, there’s added fiber and vitamins. Score!
7. Cinnamon Raisin Scones
These scones are basically cinnamon raisin buns given a healthier makeover. Smart ingredient swaps like whole-wheat flour and low-fat milk offer the same buttery taste without the butter overload.
8. Sweet Potato Hash With Creamy Avocado Sauce
Who doesn’t love a breakfast hash? Throw everything in a skillet and you’re basically done. Consider the drool-worthy avocado and Greek yogurt sauce a bonus.
9. Mini Blueberry German Pancakes
This easy recipe delivers personalized portions of pancakes topped with a superfood blueberry sauce. You’re welcome.
10. Chocolate Chip Orange Sweet Rolls
Treat the fam to this creative take on crescent rolls. Cinnamon, orange zest, and chocolate chips fold nicely into the dough, while the DIY citrusy glaze brings it home.
