There’s only a few weeks until Mother’s Day! Since having my own child this has become a very special day for me. I know some mom’s look forward to a day of getting out and being pampered and such but that’s not the case for me. On Mother’s Day I want nothing more then to spend it with the little man who made me a mom.

Sometimes I feel bad because I rarely see my own mom on Mother’s Day anymore but I do usually see her somewhere close to the date. We also make sure to send her cards and a present that she can open on the day and then we do a video call with her as well.

So whether you are spending the day with your mom or your children, your family or your friends, I’ve got a wonderful round up of 40 brunch ideas perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch.

I started out with sweet items. This includes your traditional pancakes and French Toast. There’s also fruit stuffed crepes, a tart, and sweet breads. If you or your family has a sweet tooth you are sure to find something here for you.

Then we move on to the savory recipes. While most of these have something with eggs in them there are a few other choices. There are quiche and egg casseroles then potato side dishes. I’m also sharing avocado toast and skillet breakfasts.

Next we go to baked goods. There is quite the collection of decadent donuts involved here. There are also scones and muffins. Then we finish it off with cinnamon rolls and cakes.

Finally you can’t have brunch without the drinks! I’ve got several co*cktails like mimosas and sangria. Then there are coffee and latte drinks both with and without alcohol. Lastly I’m wrapping it up with an iced tea recipe and an agua fresca.

So forget looking all over the place for Mother’s Day breakfast or brunch recipes and check out these mouthwatering ideas from some wonderful food bloggers!
