Breakfast In Bed For Mother’s Day

This Mother’s Day, think about finding a way to really make the lady in your life feel pampered from the moment she wakes up. Treat her to breakfast in bed since there is nothing like the smell of warm pancakes, hot bacon and fresh coffee. Grab a tray and check out our breakfast in bed for Mother’s Day ideas to pamper her from the moment she wakes up. Make your mum feel like the queen she really is.

Toast & Coffee

For the younger kids who want to do it themselves or “help” but who may be limited in ability, consider the all-time classic toast and cup of coffee. Pick her favourite bread from white, whole grain, sour dough or something even more fancy, and let the kids toast up a few slices and coat with butter, vegemite or jam. Filling the cup of coffee up half way will make it easier for them to carry it to her without any major spills. The kids can snip off a few flowers from the garden and pop them into a glass of water to sit on the tray, and perhaps add a little saucer or bowl with a few biscuits on to complete the package. For an even more unique option, look up an easy recipe for french toast to go the extra mile for breakfast in bed ideas on Mother’s Day.

Eggs & Bacon

Moving on to a more complex dish, this one might be better for those mid-range-age kids. Scramble, fry up or boil some eggs however mum likes, and throw some bacon into the pan for flavour. She may like a few pieces of sour dough toast, teamed with freshly sliced avocado and some fried tomato halves. A fresh cup of coffee from the local café might be a good idea if you don’t have anything particularly fancy at home. Some lightly fried spinach leaves to add colour to the plate will top off this dish beautifully.  You can still take some flower stems from the garden and add to your tray if mum wants breakfast in bed. Otherwise you can decorate the dining table or kitchen bench with flower chains to create a food space fit for a queen.

Pancakes

There are so many options available when it comes to pancakes on Mother’s Day. You can buy simple bottles of pancake mix from your local supermarket which only require water or milk added, shaken and poured into a medium heat pan. Otherwise, you can follow a more detailed recipe from scratch that requires the batter to sit for 30 minutes before cooking up. Mum may like whipped butter, maple syrup and/or ice cream. For a more savoury option you can add bacon, fried tomato, perhaps sausage and some eggs her way. If you’re looking for beverage options for mums that aren’t keen on coffee, you could consider a milkshake or hot chocolate.

Banana Bread

It never hurts to be creative, especially when it comes to Mother’s Day. An amazing way to treat mum is to make some fresh home made banana bread. High in flavour and delicious as well, banana bread is a food that often has a nostalgic, family connection. It is especially comforting with melted butter and some honey set on the side in a small pot, and is perfect with a hot coffee. The bananas caramelize and become sticky during the cooking process making the cool down process important so it’s not too sticky. Originally popular in the 1930s, banana bread has made a steady and welcome come back and is super trendy in most cafes and coffee shops these days too. A treat we’re sure mum will love. Don’t forget the napkins!

Home Made Granola

A home made and protein packed granola with no added sugar or oils is the perfect morning treat for any mum. Super easy to make, this makes for a very special addition to your Mother’s Day gift soiree. Because granola is made of oats, nuts and grains, it naturally has a healthy balance of good fats and carbohydrates that keeps you full. Mum will have extended energy for hours and is great because it’s sweet and crunchy like cereal. Find a recipe online and try to incorporate all the flavours you know mum loves.
