Let’s face it, every day should be Mother’s Day! Us women, whether we are moms to humans, plants or animals, we deserve a break, good food, and no clean up 🙂 If you are taking a hand at cooking for the mother figure in your life this Mother’s Day, here are the Nutritionist’s go-to breakfast and brunch recipes that any mom who likes to eat clean and strategically for midlife symptoms will devour.
Chocolate Ricotta Pancakes are the most fun, protein-rich, healthy chocolate pancakes mom has ever eaten. They are made with raw cacao (she probably has some in the baking drawer), ricotta cheese, and oat four. Extra perfect for the mom who is gluten-free!
Sheetpan Eggs with mom’s fave veggies, cheese and herbs. This recipe makes brunch for a crowd super easy. Basically, you are making a flat omelette on a baking sheet in one shot. No standing over the stove flipping or scrambling eggs.
Baked Blueberry Pancakes are also cooked on one baking sheet! Talk about time-saving. Once mom gets a taste of this, she’ll never stand over the stove flipping pancakes again. We made them with blueberries, but raspberries, strawberries, or apple with cinnamon would be amazing. Which would mom prefer?
Ricotta and Spinach Omelette is always a nice choice if mom likes a low carb, high protein breakfast. Serve it with a side of her fave fruits and you will for sure get brownie points.
Frittata with Sweet Potato Crust is for the mama who loves pies and quiche but usually leaves the crust behind. In place of buttery pastry crust, we made a delicious, sweet “crust” with grated sweet potato. This recipes is very easy and mom will love the way you decorated it with her fave veggies.
