Whether you’re letting her sleep late while you prepare a showstopping brunch or plan to bring her a tray and serve breakfast-in-bed, there’s no doubt Mom will appreciate taking the morning off. What could possibly be more luxurious than letting her kick her feet up, open a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift and sip a cocktail or two while having her morning meal? That’s why we’ve rounded up all the recipes you’ll need to spoil her! You’ll find lots of ideas fit for her special day in this roundup but we suggest including a sweet treat that borders on dessert. And, since pancakes are indeed cakes, why not dress them up and layer them high with cream cheese whipped cream and fresh berries? Pro tip: Whisk the dry and wet ingredients separately before combining the two, to reduce the risk of overmixing, which helps create light and fluffy pancakes.

This beautiful drink is the perfect fancy treat for Mother's Day. Extra points for serving it to her in bed.

Molly's make-ahead French toast casserole is the easiest main you can serve at brunch. The challah bread soaks up a sweet custard overnight, so all you have to do before serving is pop the casserole in the oven and make a quick blueberry syrup with frozen blueberries and lemon juice for a dish that looks like you spent all day prepping.
