Make-Ahead Mother’s Day Brunch Recipes

1. Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Glaze

These sourdough cinnamon rolls are a special treat that can be prepped the night before. They’re naturally sweetened with maple syrup and have a soft, fluffy texture that everyone loves. Bake them in the morning and drizzle with a simple maple glaze for a warm, comforting start to the day.

Maple Glaze Recipe:

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 2 tbsp maple syrup

• 1–2 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)

Whisk together and drizzle over warm rolls.

2. Baked Oatmeal with Berries

This baked oatmeal is a hearty, make-ahead option that feels like a treat but is packed with wholesome ingredients. Mix oats, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and fresh berries the night before, then bake in the morning. Serve with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey.

3. Spring Veggie Frittata

Whisk together eggs, milk, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese, then bake in a skillet for a light, flavorful frittata. It’s quick to make and pairs beautifully with fruit or a slice of sourdough toast. I use this cast-iron skillet for perfect results every time.

4. Citrus and Berry Salad

Toss segmented oranges, grapefruit, and mixed berries with a little honey and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add a sprinkle of chopped mint for a refreshing, colorful side that brightens up the table.

5. Herbal Tea with Honey

Serve a pot of herbal tea (like chamomile or peppermint) with a small jar of honey on the side. It’s a calming, nurturing drink that pairs well with any brunch item. I love this teapot for a cozy presentation.

6. Sparkling Citrus Juice

Mix sparkling water with orange juice, a splash of grapefruit juice, and a few slices of lemon or lime. Serve in these pretty glasses for a special touch that makes moms feel celebrated.

Bringing Faith to Your Mother’s Day Brunch

Mother’s Day is a perfect time to reflect on the blessing of motherhood through a faith-filled lens. Here are a few ways to bring Christ into your brunch:

• Scripture Reading: Before eating, read Proverbs 31:25–26 – “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come…”

• Prayer: Say a heartfelt prayer:

“Lord, thank You for the gift of mothers. Bless the women at this table, and fill our hearts with gratitude for their love and sacrifice. Amen.”

• Gratitude Cards: Have each family member write a note to the moms in their life, sharing a memory or something they’re thankful for. Place the cards at her seat for a sweet surprise.

Hosting Tips for a Stress-Free Mother’s Day Brunch

• Prep Ahead: Make the cinnamon rolls and baked oatmeal the night before, so you only need to bake in the morning. Chop veggies for the frittata and fruit for the salad ahead of time.

• Set the Table with Love: Use a simple tablecloth (thrifted vintage are my go-to!), a vase of fresh flowers, and these beautiful plates to make the table feel special without much effort.

• Diffuse a Calming Scent: I love diffusing Plant Therapy’s lavender oil during brunch for a peaceful atmosphere.

• Involve the Family: Let kids help set the table or prepare the drinks—it’s a great way to teach them to honor Mom.

Final Thoughts

Mother’s Day is all about celebrating the women who make our families so special. These simple brunch ideas are a way to show love through good food, meaningful moments, and a faith-filled atmosphere.
