Planning to host Mother’s Day brunch at home? I put together my favorite recipes in one place to help you build your brunch menu to honor Mom.

Mother’s Day has a way of sneaking up on us, right? One minute it’s early spring and we’re in the garden and enjoying warmer weather. The next thing you know, it’s May! Or as I like to call it, Maycember. When you have kids in school, May tends to be full of activities, second in business only to December!

Regardless, Mother’s Day needs to be special. Mom’s deserve it! Whether you’re planning a full brunch spread or just in charge of bringing a dish, something tasty and homemade is always appreciated.

This collection of Mother’s Day recipes is all about keeping things simple and enjoyable to make. Many of this recipes can be prepped ahead of time, but they still feel special.

I’ve put together a mix of my favorite brunch recipes and a few sweet treats to save room for. Most of these recipes feed 8-10 and can easily be doubled for a crowd. Or, if you’re having a smaller gathering, you can enjoy leftovers!

At the end of the day, Mother’s Day does not have to be perfect. Most of the Moms I know just appreciate effort and feeling seen. I hope that this list of Mother’s Day recipes helps you put together a special meal that feels just right.

Happy Mother’s Day!
