Coffee cake is a standard brunch dish, but this cinnamon crumb coffee cake featured on Yummly really ups the ante. It’s a super easy recipe, filled with ingredients you probably already have in your house, so need to run to the grocery store. And it’s one of those coffee cakes with the perfect sweet, crunchy top that you just can’t get enough of.

I love the idea of these avocado bacon breakfast burritos from Half Baked Harvest being on your brunch menu if you’re hosting outdoors or adding fun activities to the brunch lineup. You can prep them the night before, get them all ready to go, and just warm them up the morning of your Mother’s Day brunch. And honestly, who can resist pesto and cheese mixed in with avocado and bacon in a burrito?

Spinach and tomatoes are always a great addition to eggs, but this spinach tomato frittata featured on Yummly is especially good. I love that this recipe includes Swiss cheese, which is a nice change from some of the cheddar or gruyere cheeses so many other frittatas call for.

So this overnight creme brulée french toast casserole from Yummly is a great one that just needs to be popped into the oven first thing in the morning, but it does also require a little work the night before with making the custard and getting all of the items prepared.

Having bacon at brunch is one thing, but what about this bacon jam from Yummly? It’s a bit time intensive to make and requires a lot of ingredients, but it’s so worth it.
