If you ask moms what they want to receive for Mother’s Day, you’ll most likely have a unanimous answer. After all the chores and the busy lives that moms live, they just want to have that one day off to relax. It doesn’t really take much to make them happy, nor it doesn’t have to be expensive as well. You can give them that one day to put their feet up and be the queen they truly are.

And everything begins with a lovely breakfast! You can team up with the rest of the family to plan for a lovely breakfast for your mom—whether it’s in bed or as she comes down and gets out of the room to start a day. What pleasant surprise would that be when she finds she doesn’t have to do any cooking upon waking.

Are you excited? You should be because here are six breakfast ideas to kick off this surprise.

1. Ricotta Pancakes

Give the classic pancakes a new twist by putting in an added ingredient to make them tastier, fluffier, and creamier: ricotta cheese.

You can make this as you would your ordinary pancakes by incorporating the ricotta cheese in the butter. Drizzle it with maple syrup—or chocolate syrup, if your mom loves sweets! Top it with any fruit of your choice, like strawberries or rhubarb for that extra sweetness.

2. Sausage Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole

A sausage hashbrown breakfast casserole is another well-loved one because it’s quick and easy to make. While it may sound like a fancy meal to whip up, you don’t even have to be a master chef in the kitchen to make it for your dear mom! The best thing you can do is to prep the ingredients the night before so that when morning comes, all you have to do is cook. This can enable you to beat your mom’s usual wake-up time.

This dish is as easy as combining frozen hash browns, sausages, eggs, and a lot of cheese in a baking dish. Then you just need to leave it inside the oven for 40 minutes at 350 degrees F.

3. Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding

Here’s another sweet treat for mommy! If she loves a classic original glazed Krispy Kreme, she’ll certainly love this donut bread pudding as well. It’s creamy, heavenly, and sinful as well. It’s that dose of sweetness to put your mom off a sweet start to her special day.

All you have to do is to break apart the donuts and drown them in milk, eggs, sugar, and cream. Put it in the oven and bake until it’s hot. Once it’s done, drizzle it with melted chocolate. It’s so good, you’ll even wonder why you never made it before.

4. Tasty Toast

You can’t go wrong with a tasty toast, especially if you still aren’t convinced with yourself that you can do something special in the kitchen. If your mom loves toast, you can always make her simple favorites. Eggs and guacamole on toasted bread are a no-brainer. You can even pre-make a scrambled egg mix the night before.

Alternatively, you can bring more color to the table and more sweetness by presenting something new. Spread cream cheese on top of the toast, and layer it with colorful fruit. You can put in strawberries, blueberries, or even kiwi for more brightness. It’s a sweet dessert, but it’s a healthy treat to have for your mom.

5. Rosemary And Grapefruit Mimosa

What’s breakfast without a good drink? Yes, you can’t go wrong with tea, juice, coffee, and even hot chocolate. However, if you could serve something new this time, it’s never too early to bring out a champagne flute for a rosemary and grapefruit mimosa.

While this may be a slightly bitter and herbal taste compared with the classic orange mimosa, its pretty pink colors and tangy flavor makes up for it. Plus, it’s a stunning and fresh celebratory drink to present your mom with, along with the breakfast meal you’ve prepared.

6. Granola Parfait

Who doesn’t love parfait? Mango and strawberry parfaits are great! But if you have a health-conscious mom, you can switch things up a notch by serving it with granola.

Plus, it’s so easy and fuss-free to make. All you’ll have to do is fill up a parfait glass with layers of yogurt, granola, fresh strawberries, or any of your mom’s favorite fruits. You can top it off with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, to make it a delicious dessert your mom deserves.

Conclusion

Now that you have this list of ideas, are you excited to give your mom that ultimate surprise to make her feel like the well-loved queen she is? If you’ve got younger siblings at home, you can even ask them to help out with some of the preparations. 

Imagine the joy that your mom will have when she sees her little ones helping around in the kitchen to surprise her. Who knows, your mom may shed a few tears of joy. There’s nothing like a good breakfast surprise to put a positive and happy start on your mother’s special day.

Chocolate Oatmeal Banana Bread – Eggless, Milk and Sugar Free!

chocolate oatmeal banana bread recipe no eggs dairy free no milk easy oatmeal chocolate chips cinnamon easy healthy no sugar low calorie low cal diet friendly

Eat up this delicious banana bread thats totally eggless, milk-free, and sugar free! I’ve yet to meet a soul that doesn’t like this banana bread, it’s been a signature treat of mine for years and never disappoints. What I love about this bread is that it’s guilt free and super filling. Whole wheat flour (or all purpose flour depending on your preference) and oatmeal provide you with loads of fibre and energy, making it the perfect breakfast or snack option. It’s also great for those on a diet that are looking for a filling, low-fat dessert.

The bread is also very moist and dense, so it doesn’t dry up and can hold at room temperature for quite a while (although because of it’s deliciousness I don’t think it will last very long!). The secret to it’s moist-ness is the yogurt as well as the creamy bananas – make sure to use ripe bananas, the riper the better!

I personally love this bread once it’s cooled down, but you can definitely eat it straight out of the oven or even warm it up in the microwave. Now who can resist melted, gooey chocolate?
