Don’t phone it in this year — make one of these breakfast recipes for Mother’s Day that the mom in your life actually wants to eat.
Let’s be honest: a lot of dads — and adult kids, for that matter — phone it in on Mother’s Day. But it doesn’t have to be that way. These breakfast recipes for Mother’s Day will help you take things to another level.
Because again, keeping it real — it is not always the thought that counts. Sometimes it’s the effort. Showing a little commitment and creativity. Mom loves her kids, and she’s so glad that you (sort of) kept them quiet while she slept in and that together you made these, well, pretty mediocre pancakes. But does she really have to eat them? Today, of all days, you want her to pretend this phoned in meal tastes mmm mmm good?
Nah, not this year. This time, you’re going to make one of these breakfast recipes for Mother’s Day that is both memorable and delicious. Something she’ll ask for again. Maybe even before next year. Her birthday? It could be a tradition. Imagine her telling her friends about how you made Queen Elizabeth’s pancake recipe for the queen in your life…
Yeah, that’s the kind of special, brag-able moment she deserves. So let’s get started.
Don’t let the haters tell you otherwise — banana bread is totally a breakfast food, even if it’s a double chocolate banana bread. But you can also make a vegan smoothie bowl, if that’s more Mom’s speed.
Think to yourself — what would she order if we went out to brunch? And then pick the recipe below that most closely resembles that restaurant-level experience. For my wife, it would be the smoked salmon avocado bagel, sausage gravy and biscuits, or the Eggs Benedict. What about yours?
You can do this. We can do this. Because the moms around us deserve it, and they should know how much they’re loved and appreciated — without having to feign excitement.

Queen Elizabeth’s Pancake Recipe
In the wake of her passing, Queen Elizabeth’s pancake recipe (as shared with President Dwight D. Eisenhower) has gone viral.
A Smoked Salmon Avocado Cream Cheese Bagel is a new way to do breakfast or brunch. Instead of the default lox and bagel routine, switch to flavorful smoked salmon paired with creamy avocado, rich cream cheese, red onion and capers. It’s a twist on the traditional pairing that will start your day off the right way!
Cheesy Avocado Egg in a Hole is just what you want to wake up to in the morning, and it’s ready in less than 30 minutes! With ham, cheese, avocado, and a perfectly runny egg, all you need is a mug of coffee to start your day off right.
Uniting my bowl of oats and my green smoothie, these Green Smoothie Pancakes are refined sugar free and gluten free. Brew up a large pot of coffee, gather and linger with friends and family over a tasty breakfast or brunch of these bright green flapjacks.
Savory Breakfast Muffins make a great change of pace from all those pieces of cake masquerading as health food because they don’t have frosting. Whip some up and start the day off right.
Enjoy a slice of this Maple Pecan Banana Bread with your morning coffee. This sweet bread is a delicious breakfast or afternoon snack choice this fall.
