8 Brunch Recipes That’ll Make Mom Say “You Made This?” 😍


Hey Reader,

Mother’s Day is coming up fast—May 11 this year—and if you’re like me, you’d rather show love with a hot pan and good food than a store-bought card. I put together a list of 8 healthy, flavorful brunch recipes perfect for spoiling the extraordinary women in our lives.

These recipes are low-carb, packed with flavor, and meant to bring everyone to the table smiling.

Here are 3 of my favorites to get you started:

Recipe 1: Keto Pancakes

Fluffy, golden, and absolutely worth waking up for.
These pancakes have the look, texture, and flavor of the real deal—but without the carb crash. Add your favorite toppings and serve them with a coffee and good company.

Recipe 2: Fajita Frittata

Leftover steak or chicken? Let’s make something magical.
This one’s got zing, sizzle, and serious Sunday brunch vibes. Peppers, onions, and whatever protein you have on hand turn this into a next-level frittata.

Recipe 3: Keto Waffles

Waking up to the aroma of freshly made waffles is one of life’s simple pleasures.
This Keto Waffles recipe allows you to savor that joy without straying from a low-carb diet. I’m excited to share a recipe that turns the classic Belgian waffle into a keto-friendly delight.
