With brunch season in full swing along with spring, we’ve collected our favourite weekend brunch ideas for you! From a healthy whole grain granola to lemon ricotta cake, there’s something here for everyone, and every type of brunch. So whether you want to make something special for mother’s day, or an upcoming long weekend, or just because, we’ve got you covered.
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.
OVERNIGHT RASPBERRY STICKY BUNS WITH CARDAMOM AND GINGER
Overnight, yes please! Simply wrap these pretty pink sticky buns up and refrigerate until the following morning. When you get up, pull them from the fridge and set them somewhere warm while the oven pre-heats, bake, and serve!
NEXT LEVEL CHOCOLATE 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 WITH ROASTED GARLIC LABNEH
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 GRANOLA RYE 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 SCONES WITH STRAWBERRY BAY LEAF JAM
Bay leaf adds a twist to classic strawberry jam here, paired with sweet vegan scones for an afternoon tea inspired brunch. Try serving these with vegan cream and fresh fruit.
vegan chocolate zucchini muffins
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
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
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
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.
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.
