Is it me, or has brunch gotten outrageously expensive? I’m talking like $20-for-a-breakfast-burrito-expensive.
Not to mention, you have to drive to the restaurant, wait in line, and more times than not, get subpar food quality and service.
No, thanks. I’m good.
Recently, I’ve been opting for brunch at home. I either whip up my own breakfast tacos or burritos or throw something made with lovin’ in the oven from one of my favorite companies.
Read on to learn how I opt-out of expensive, lackluster brunches.
My Favorite Easy Brunch at Home Ideas
Wildgrain
A few years again Wildgrain sent me one of their boxes with an assortment of delicious baked goods, and I have been a fan since.
They are the first bake-from-frozen subscription service offering artisanal bastries, breads, rolls, pizza, pasta, and croissants.
Simply choose the assortment of baked goods you’d like each month and they will show up at your door. For the breads and pizza, just pop them in the oven and in about 25-minutes you can enjoy high-quality sourdough or a slice at home!
The pastas come frozen as well and simply take them out when you’re ready to enjoy and cook on the stove top according to the directions. It’s restaurant quality at home minus the restaurant prices or hassle.
I’m a huge fan of their blueberry squares for brunch for those days when you want a fancy meal in your pajamas without leaving the house. Pair them with your favorite protein like bacon and eggs, yogurt, Tepeh, or Seitan for a well-rounded meal.
And don’t forget your favorite coffee brand or morning cocktail to complete your brunch at home experience!
Ivy’s Reserve Salted Farmhouse Butter
The only thing better than Wildgran blueberry biscuits is Wildgrain blueberry biscuits smothered in Ivy’s Reserve Salted Farmhouse Butter.
Crafted by Wyke Farms, this luxuriously creamy, carbon-neutral butter is made with fresh cream and gently churned to perfection. Rooted in tradition and sustainability, it’s perfect for baking, cooking, or simply spreading on warm toast. In my brunch-at-home case, I love it dalooped on hot, flaky blueberry biscuits!
This award-winning butter from the English countryside has just arrived in the U.S and is available exclusively at Whole Foods Market.
Blanket Pancakes & Syrup
Another excellent brunch idea, is Blanket Pancakes and Syrup. If you love pancakes but hate all the preservatives and additives in most boxed mixes, you’ll want to try Blanket Pancakes & Syrup.
This family-owned brand delivers crave-worthy flavors like sweet potato, honey butter, and chocolate chip, made with clean, natural ingredients you can actually pronounce.
Their syrups (vanilla, cinnamon, and classic) are the perfect topping, and everything comes together in minutes with their just-add-water mixes. No bleached flour, GMOs, or high-fructose corn syrup—just soft, fluffy pancakes that make any brunch at home feel extra special.
Like the Wildgrain biscuits, don’t forget the Ivy’s to take these brunch essentials up a notch in flavor.
Mini Champage or Prosecco
I don’t know a more luxurious feeling than opening a mini prosecco bottle on your balcony or kitchen table. LaMarcA is a nice option for when you’re solo or only want a single serving of bubbly to wash down your at-home brunch.
Canned Coffee & Lattes
Sometimes you want to wakeup and not have to fumble with a coffee maker, french press, or kuerig machine and immediately put caffeine in your veins. I get it. That’s why I love La Colombe craft lattes.
These are also great if you’re going on a weekend or day trip! Heck, I even took them car camping once and was glad I did as they are super convenient and tasty.
Just put them in your cooler and you don’t have to worry about hunting down the nearest Starbucks, local coffee shop, or fumbling with gadgets and powders to make your own. Just crack one open and caffienate while you stay in your pajamas tucked in the hotel bed.
They have all kinds of flavors including vanilla, pumpkin, mocha, and my favorite—salted caramel!
