Papaya Smoothie with Oats and Walnuts
A filling, nutritious smoothie makes a great addition to any brunch menu. This one has plenty of fiber thanks to oats, walnuts, and fresh papaya, while cinnamon adds a hint of spicy warmth.

Pineapple, mango, and sweet dates bring loads of tropical flavor to this smoothie—which just so happens to be packed with protein, too.
Buttermilk Pancakes
Is it really brunch without pancakes? We don’t think so either. Our classic buttermilk batter cooks up into perfectly fluffy pancakes every time, ready to get drenched with syrup or smothered in whipped cream.
Scandinavian Butter Waffles
The perfect waffle recipe does exist, and it’s this one. Buttery and perfectly crisp, with a slight tang from cultured buttermilk, these waffles are sure to steal the show.
Strawberry Cheesecake Dip
This one’s for Team Sweet Brunch: A super-quick, crazy simple dip that tastes exactly like strawberry cheesecake. Serve it with fresh fruit for dipping or spread it on pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
Sour Cream Berry Coffee Cake
The best coffee cake is sour cream coffee cake, and we think this version—loaded with fresh berries and topped with a crunchy, sugary crust—is just about as good as it gets.
