6 Easy Mother’s Day Breakfast Ideas for the Kids to Make
A great Mother’s Day breakfast is all about creativity, a personal touch, and lots of love. To make planning the perfect morning easy, we’ve rounded up six of the best Mother’s Day breakfast ideas to help you build the ultimate Mother’s Day menu.
1) Fluffy Scrambled Eggs & Toast
Scrambled eggs make for a quick, cheap and easy Mother’s Day breakfast. As they don’t require a great deal of adult supervision to make, they’re also a great option for kids who enjoy feeling a little more independent in the kitchen.
To make super creamy scrambled eggs, beat the eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper and melt a generous portion of butter in a frying pan on low heat. Add the eggs and stir gently, cooking them ‘low and slow’ to achieve the perfect fluffy texture. Butter the toast, sprinkle the eggs with fresh chives or finely grated cheese for a little extra flavour and take them straight to her in bed. You can’t go wrong!
2) Fruity Yogurt Parfait
For a refreshing, fuss-free Mother’s Day breakfast, a fruity yoghurt granola bowl is a perfect choice—especially for younger kids. No hot pans, just simple layering!
Spoon yoghurt, granola, and fresh fruit into our cute breakfast pot, repeating the layers until full. If Mum has a sweet tooth, top it off with chocolate chunks or a drizzle of honey—after all, it’s her special day, and she deserves a treat!
3) Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries & Mini Pastries
If you’re prepared to spend more time preparing her Mother’s Day breakfast, chocolate-dipped strawberries make the ultimate sweet treat. With adult help, melt chocolate on the hob or in the microwave, dip fresh strawberries in the melted chocolate, place them on a plate, and chill them in the fridge until they’re set.
If you’d like to up the ante even more, sprinkle crushed nuts or drizzle melted white chocolate over the strawberries before chilling them.
These are the perfect accompaniment to mini pastries for a beautiful Mother’s Day breakfast platter. With an incredibly affordable price point, our Cocoa and Vanilla Filled Croissants can be relied upon to make an easy Mother’s Day breakfast, which brings a smile to her face.
4) Banana & Oat Breakfast Cookies
If your mum would appreciate a healthier Mother’s Day breakfast option, try rustling up some healthy (but delicious) breakfast cookies. We’d recommend making these the day before Mother’s Day, so there’s no pressure on Sunday morning.
Simply mash a ripe banana with 100g of oats, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, 50g of chocolate chips or raisins, and a pinch of salt. Leave the mixture to rest for 10 minutes, before rolling into approximately 7 balls.
Place these on a baking sheet, flatten gently until they’re about 1cm thick, and bake at 170C for 15 minutes until the cookies are golden, for a soft, chewy breakfast cookie. With adult supervision and wearing oven gloves, take the tray out and leave the cookies to cool.
On Mother’s Day morning, serve your breakfast cookies with a cup of tea or coffee in a new mug, or even our special Mummy’s Drink’ Travel Mug, if you know she’s planning an on-the-go Mother’s Day.
5) An Easy Mother’s Day Breakfast Smoothie
For a kid-friendly, speedy and refreshing Mother’s Day breakfast, blend her favourite fruits into a delicious smoothie for her to sip on in bed. Combine banana, frozen berries, yoghurt, and a drizzle of honey, topping up with milk or apple juice as needed, and whiz up for a creamy consistency. Pour the smoothie into a reusable cup, like our Insulated Tumbler with Metal Straw (in pink, of course) to deliver her Mother’s Day breakfast. Add a slice of toast or a Chocolate Filled Mini Croissant to make a more filling breakfast.
6) Heart-Shaped Pancakes with Syrup & Berries
Pancakes are an all-time classic breakfast menu staple, and we’d be remiss not to mention them in our easy Mother’s Day breakfast recipes round-up. Follow our pancake recipe to get the perfect batter.
Shaping your pancakes into love hearts is an extra special touch for your mum – simply use a heart-shaped cookie cutter or pour the batter directly onto the frying pan in a heart shape. She won’t mind how neat they are – it’s the thought that counts! Serve her up a stack adorned with fresh berries and a selection of sauces, to garnish the pancakes with. Let her choose from Nutella, strawberry jam, or Biscoff for the ultimate indulgent start to Mothering Sunday.
The Finishing Touches – Making the Breakfast Special
Encourage kids to set up a mini brunch station for mum, with a breakfast tray decorated with napkins, a bunch of her favourite flowers, and a cute napkin. Add a handwritten note or homemade Mother’s Day card alongside whichever of our easy Mother’s Day breakfast options you’ve chosen for her, to let mum know just how loved she is. If you feel like going all out and decorating the house, our Mother’s Day Sunflower Balloon, ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ Banner and Mother’s Day Chocolate Tulip are guaranteed to bring a smile to her face.
