What makes a brunch recipe “kid-friendly?

Kid-friendly recipes are typically easy to make, use familiar flavors, have appealing presentations (fun shapes and colors), and are often adaptable to different tastes and dietary needs. While relying on familiar flavors is key, it doesn’t mean excluding all new tastes. It’s a great idea to introduce new ingredients or flavors by pairing them with familiar ones or serving them in a fun way.

How do I get my kids involved in making brunch?

Getting kids involved in preparing brunch is a fantastic way to teach them kitchen skills, encourage healthy eating habits, and create fun family memories. Children can help with tasks like mixing ingredients, setting the table, decorating pancakes, or arranging fruit skewers. Having them measure ingredients can reinforce math skills and teach them a bit about science when it comes to baking. The goal is to get them involved in putting together a meal with you and they may be more apt to try new foods or at the very least, want to cook more with you.

It’s tricky to give a definitive “most popular” list since every child’s tastes vary, but here are some popular picks. Pancakes and waffles top the list but French Toast Sticks are a hit, too. Breakfast tacos are a winner and smoothies can be fun and healthy, like this Chunky Monkey Smoothie. Fresh fruit yogurt parfaits are easy to make and versatile. You can’t go wrong with these cheese and meat lunch kabobs on a brunch platter and this mini pancake muffin charcuterie board is a sampler of many favorites, both sweet and savory.

Drinks to Serve at Family Breakfast

If your gathering consists of children then you want to serve options such as milk, juices, and smoothies. Consider setting up a hot cocoa bar and serving slow cooker hot chocolate or peanut butter hot chocolate drinks. Here are a few other ideas:
