40 Plus Mothers Day Treats and Recipes

A very happy Mother’s Day weekend to all mothers everywhere. These are strange times we live in and while it would be very easy to just buy your mom something. Perhaps this year, you can even make her something special.

Making something for mom doesn’t have to be a time-consuming project. Try somethings as simple as making her a simple breakfast parfait, which takes as little as five minutes.

Whatever you decide, I highly recommend doing something to make your mom feel good. She will remember it forever. It’s true. Moms have good memories of little things their kids do for them.

My blog is loaded with things you can do for mom. So, following are a few things that I handpicked for you.

Breakfast parfait

Start mom’s day with a healthy and hearty breakfast (in bed if possible). Below, I have used homemade granola (which is so easy to make) and homemade yogurt (with needs only two ingredients). But, you can certainly use store-bought cereals, yogurt, honey, and a few fresh fruits. See how to make a breakfast yogurt parfait here.

Chocolate coated strawberries

Chocolate covered strawberries are a simple, easy, and refreshing treat. The best part is, you don’t have too much to do. Gets done in no time at all. See more strawberry recipes here.

Panna cotta

The next easiest dessert on my list is Panna cotta. Not many people know, but this dessert actually takes only 15 minutes to make and 3 hours to chill. The list of ingredients is very small, just 5 to 6 ingredients (milk, cream, sugar, gelatin, fruit). See all panna cotta recipes.

Brownies

Almost every one of us has memories making brownies with mom. It’s what we did with mom when we were kids. Bring back those memories.
These are one of the easiest bakes. The batter takes just 10 minutes, and you only need a pan or two. See all brownie recipes.

This rich, dark, and delicious flourless chocolate cake is naturally gluten-free. All you need is one bowl to mix and a baking pan. Probably one of my easiest chocolate cakes to make.

Cheesecakes

Who doesn’t love cheesecake? Whether you choose to make a baked or unbaked cheesecake this is a sure winning dessert. Mom will be so proud of you. Tip – use her favorite fruit to decide which cheesecake to make. Then, decide if you want to make it a baked or unbaked. Try baked strawberry, blueberry, mango, raspberry or chocolate, or try unbaked vanilla, mango or strawberry. See all cheesecake recipes.
