Sweet Brunch Recipes You’ll Love

I thought it would be fun to have my readers decide what to make next using Truvia®, so I did a little crowdsourcing and one of my readers suggested that I make one of my mom’s favorite recipes. I loved this idea, so I decided on her famous Créme Brûlée French Toast. Seriously, it’s one of the best recipes and it’s something you would share with a best friend. My mom makes this recipe pretty much every holiday, but I especially love it when we are hosting family and friends for brunch!

And of course, no brunch is complete without a little boozy goodness (for the adults), so I decided I’d also make a delicious Strawberry and Peach Sangria, that I promise you will be making all the time! There’s nothing better than brunch casserole and fresh berries in a cocktail. If you like savory brunch recipes, this will not be the one for you, but those with a sweet tooth who want to make something other than cinnamon rolls, will want to make this the perfect addition to the brunch table. The best part is that these recipes are beyond easy to do! As a family tradition in my home, it’s safe to say these are breakfast favorites and the best way to make memories around the breakfast table.

I made both of these recipes with Truvia ® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener and I love it because it has zero calories per serving and sweetens and measures cup-for-cup to sugar, so it’s easy to substitute in any recipe. Moreover, something about this recipe tastes like Christmas morning! It’s one of my favorite brunch recipes and you can totally sub out your milk and bread options for any dietary restrictions for this sweet dish. For example, swap out white bread for a gluten free option or use almond milk instead of dairy. It’s great because there isn’t really added sugar, since we are swapping it out for Truvia. The entire family will be begging for this as a weekend brunch each week!

I hope you’ll watch my video and give both of these sweet brunch recipes a try. They’re delicious and so easy to make and I think you’ll enjoy their flavors. Cheers to your next brunch!
