Okay, first, don’t be intimidated by the number in my post title. While there are 150 favorite gluten-free Mother’s Day brunch recipes included here, two of the links—which are from my Bountiful Bread Basket series—equal 100 of them! Whew, right?

Still, as always when it comes to recipe roundups, I’m sure you’ll want to skim and find what strikes your fancy!

The only mom you may get to have brunch with this Mother’s Day is yourself, of course, but you still want special, Mom-worthy recipes. What do you think of when you think of the ideal gluten-free Mother’s Day brunch recipes?

Brunch is definitely more this mother’s speed. I do not like getting up early and I do not like to eat as soon as I get up.

The brunch that lingers into the early afternoon? That’s totally my thing! In fact, that timing could be my only Mother’s Day “gift” and I’d be thrilled! But let’s get to these Mom-worthy recipes.

Gluten-Free Mother's Day Brunch Recipes. 150 scrumptious recipes in every possible category! Mom will be happy whichever ones you choose! [from GlutenFreeEasily.com]

When you think of the perfect gluten-free Mother’s Day brunch recipes, I’m guessing gluten-free pancakes and waffles come to mind for sure. Maybe French Toast. Cinnamon rolls.

What else? Egg recipes like muffins, quiches, and casseroles. Scones. (They’re not just for tea parties, you know?)

Special beverages like smoothies and morning cocktails.

Even desserts perhaps? I thought I’d share some ideas with you all for your Mother’s Day celebration, whether you’re entertaining a crew, two, or one.

Even making a single recipe from this roundup could make Mother’s Day special for the mother figure(s) in your life! Maybe that’s your Mom, someone else who “mothers” you, or you yourself, for all your “mothering.”

We are so lucky to have many mothers among us. Some have human children of their own, some have human children of others that they “look after,” some have those adorable furry babies—dogs, cats, horses, and more—that get their love and attention.

Back to the recipes … here are my brunch favorites, from here on gfe and from blogger friends. Happy Mother’s Day, everyone!

and, last but not least, probably my favorite:

~ Volcano Pancake here on gfe. This recipe seems to have so many different names. Whether you call it Yorkshire Pudding, German Puff Pancake, Dutch Baby, or “that wonderful thing you make” (as one gfe friend calls it), just make it and enjoy it! No two Volcano Pancakes are alike so don’t be surprised if yours doesn’t look like the photo below, especially since the one shown below was a “mistake.”

I accidentally baked the pancake shown at 450F for 15 minutes versus 400F for 30 minutes. Thank goodness my nose told me it was done because I had no idea I had set the temperature incorrectly.  I don’t recommend the higher temperature necessarily, but the results can turn out just fine if you’re not fully awake when you begin cooking, or even if you’re in a hurry perhaps and intentionally use the higher temperature!

      That mousse is gorgeous, isn’t it? And I love the colors in the veggie quiche, plus it tastes great, of course. It’s fun to have so many options! 🙂

    Your round-ups are always so awesome Shirley and this one could fit for any time of year in my opinion. You had me clicking over with the very first recipe – I mean, 2-minute cinnamon rolls?!!

      Thanks, Alisa! I agree that this brunch recipes work all year long. I also agree on those 2-minute cinnamon rolls. Cinnamon rolls need to be as accesible as possible! 🙂

    What a lovely collection of brunch recipes, Shirley! This post is such a great resource. I’ve pinned it for future reference. I think I’ll make the Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet first! Thank you for sharing with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop. Hope to see you again this week!

    This is an amazing round up! And thanks for including my breakfast casserole. I made muffins for the first time in 3 years last week for a breakfast I was helping to host. The muffins were just from a mix, but it was the baby step I needed to start baking again. It was so ridiculously easy (with a now working oven) that I’m hanging my head in shame. Thanks for the inspiring links!!

      Hi Heather–Good for you on making muffins again! It’s nice to know you have that option now. Some days baking just feels right. 🙂

      I still love your breakfast casserole. It’s so pretty and clearly so delish!

      Hope you’re continuing to feel better after The Glutening, dear. I am still so shocked that happened to you, especially after reading your post and the details. Thanks so much for the VERY kind words there! I agree with Linda, you are more of a hero than anyone else. I can’t imagine being able to work after that! Big healing hugs to you!
