Ideas for a perfect Mother's Day breakfast at home
There's nothing better than a cosy breakfast on a Sunday morning, is there? We have some ideas for you on how you can really spoil your mum for Mother's Day with a homemade breakfast.
Let yourself be inspired and surprise your mum with an unforgettable Mother's Day breakfast!
Breakfast in bed or breakfast at the table?
Whether in bed or at the table, a hearty breakfast is a wonderful way to spend time together with your mum and get the day off to a positive start. The answer to the question of whether breakfast in bed or at the table is better depends on several factors.
What does your mum like to eat? Is her favourite dish easy to eat in bed or would it be better to do it at the table? Do you celebrate Mother's Day at home in a small group or does the whole family want to join in? Breakfast at the table offers the opportunity for the whole family to come together and enjoy the time together.
Ultimately, it depends on what your mum prefers and which atmosphere suits her better - whether it's a relaxed breakfast in bed or a colourful breakfast at the table with the whole family.
The important thing is that you do something good for her and that the day revolves around what she likes.

- Candles: Candles create a cosy atmosphere. Place a few tea lights in pretty containers and create a warm and inviting ambience.
Mother's Day breakfast - Food ideas
Pancakes
Pancakes are not only super tasty, but can also be prepared very prettily and modified as desired.
Blueberry pancakes are a popular variation. Fresh or frozen blueberries are mixed into the batter for a fruity flavour. Additional fresh blueberries as a topping make for a pretty look.
There are many other variations for pancakes. Chocolate chips, nuts, bananas, cinnamon or oat flakes are also often mixed into the batter.
To serve, the pancakes can be garnished with maple syrup, butter or fresh fruit. With a little creativity and experimentation, you can create many delicious and varied variations from this simple base.
Fruits
Fresh fruit is a healthy and refreshing option for a good start to the day. Whether as a side dish with yoghurt, as a topping on bread or as an ingredient in a smoothie - they are not only pretty to arrange and look good, but are also rich in vitamins, fibre and antioxidants and can therefore help to promote good health.
They are also a delicious option for a sweet touch in breakfast and offer a natural alternative to sugary breakfast options.
Waffles
The smell of fresh waffles is a great way to wake up, isn't it? They are a delicious and popular way to start the day. Whether sweet with fruit, cream and syrup or savoury with ham, cheese and eggs - waffles offer many options for a varied and delicious breakfast.
Breakfast bowl
Whether as a smoothie bowl, porridge bowl or yoghurt bowl - breakfast bowls offer many options for a healthy and delicious breakfast. They consist of a mixture of fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, yoghurt or milk and can be customised according to taste and preference.
The colourful and appealing appearance not only makes them delicious, they are also an absolute highlight on any breakfast table.
Bagels
The ring-shaped bagels originate from Jewish cuisine and are traditionally served with cream cheese and lox. Nowadays, however, there are many variations and toppings for bagels, ranging from sweet to savoury.
Whether with egg, bacon and avocado or with Nutella and banana - bagels offer many options for a delicious and varied breakfast.
Croissants
Croissants - the French classic! The fluffy, buttery pastries are a delicious addition to any breakfast. Whether plain or filled with jam, chocolate or cheese - croissants offer many options for a delicious and varied breakfast. Combined with a coffee or tea, they provide a relaxed and enjoyable start to the day.
Tip: Turn the croissant into a little eye-catcher and dip the ends in some dark chocolate if your mum likes it sweet.
Mother's Day breakfast - Drinks
Freshly squeezed orange juice
With a freshly squeezed glass of orange juice, you can start the day feeling refreshed. Oranges are rich in vitamin C and other nutrients that can help to promote health and strengthen the immune system. Freshly squeezed juice is also a delicious and natural alternative to sugary breakfast drinks.
Smoothies
A smoothie for breakfast is a delicious idea to start the day with a large portion of energy. They consist of a mixture of fruit, yoghurt or milk and can be customised according to taste and preference. Creations with strawberries are particularly good for breakfast.
Coffee / Tea
Coffee for breakfast is an essential routine for many mums to start the day. The aromatic and invigorating scent of freshly brewed coffee alone can create a positive mood. Put a smile on your mum's face with a great cup of coffee!
Tip: Sweet little details can also be incorporated here, e.g. a heart can be conjured up in the foam with a little sockeye powder. For all mums who prefer to drink tea in the morning, the little tag on the teabag can be replaced with a nice one with a lovely phrase.
Flowers for Mother's Day
Don't forget to set the breakfast table beautifully and surprise your mum with beautiful Mother's Day flowers and loving Mother's Day words - it's all in the details.
