Asparagus and Goat Cheese Frittata

This asparagus and goat cheese frittata is the perfect make-ahead brunch food. It’s quick, tasty, and easy. Try making this frittata the day ahead then heating it up the next morning for a speedy option.

Cherry Almond Dutch Baby

This dutch baby, often known as a German pancake, is a thick oven-baked pancake with a soft centre and crispy, crunchy edges. With no sugar in the recipe itself and cherries baked into the batter, I’d even call it a healthy breakfast pastry to feed a crowd.

Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls

Surprisingly easy, these chocolate cinnamon rolls are the best of both worlds! Sweet cinnamon rolls filled with chocolate chunks, perfect for brunch baking.

Espresso Hazelnut Granola

This chocolate granola tastes like nutella, but healthy! Gratifyingly nutrient-dense and loaded with hearty whole grains, satisfying nuts, and healthy fats from unsweetened coconut flakes and coconut oil. It’s also lightly sweetened with a minimal amount of maple syrup.

White Chocolate Cardamom Babka

This beautiful babka features layers upon layers of soft, sweet dough filled with sweet twists of cardamom flecked white chocolate – a perfect accompaniment to a morning cup of coffee.

New York Style Sourdough Bagels

Mix up the dough the night (or day) beforehand, and bake these sourdough bagels fresh for brunch! Served with a slightly sweet roasted garlic labneh, they’re a perfect addition to a weekend spread.

Mascarpone Strawberry Lime Hand Pies

All butter pastry and the right size for little hands make these strawberry hand pies a nice option for brunch with kids. Filled with creamy mascarpone cheese, strawberries, and lime zest.

Overnight Blueberry Waffles

Another excellent overnight idea here, these overnight granola waffles are made with whole grain rye flour and sweet blueberries. Mix before bed, bake in the morning, no stress here!

vegan whole grain scones

Vegan Scones

Vegan scones make a beautiful afternoon tea inspired brunch. Try serving these with vegan cream and fresh fruit.

Made with whole grain flour and with a sneaky vegetable addition, serve these healthy chocolate muffins for breakfast and feel good about it! Chocolate should belong at every brunch table, right?

Lemon Ricotta Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting - Baked the Blog

Lemon Ricotta Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Take your weekend brunch over the top with this beautiful naked cake. Top with any seasonal fruits to serve this cake year round, but don’t forget the flowers!

Chocolate Chunk, Raspberry & Almond Cake (Vegan + Gluten-Free) - BAKED

Chocolate Chunk, Raspberry, and Almond Cake

Chocolate and raspberry are the perfect pairing, especially when combined with gluten free oat and almond flour in this pretty cake.

Tomato Sage Yogurt Quiche with Buckwheat Cheddar Crust

Tomato Sage Yogurt Quiche

Because there should always be something distinctly savoury at brunch, and because the buckwheat cheddar base of this quiche is amazing. With a custardy yogurt filling, this is a real crowd pleaser.

doughnuts on a cooling rack

Chocolate Doughnuts with Spicy Blood Orange Icing

These beautiful doughnuts are baked, not fried, making them both easier and a bit healthier for morning fare. Topped with a pretty pink icing for extra weekend brunch fun.

Baked Grapefruit with Coconut Whipped Cream

Serve this for a healthy brunch idea, or alongside one of the less healthy options in this collection (cake?!) to make it feel a bit more like morning food and less like dessert. Baking the grapefruit brings out natural sugars, and topped with coconut whipped cream, it’s an easy option that still feels fancy.
