Some Ideas for New Year's Day Brunch
I know we’re keeping things kind of low key this year but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t start things off on a delicious note.
So in that spirit, I’ve compiled some tried and true breakfast/brunch favorites, many of which can be prepared the day before and just popped into the oven on the morning of January 1, 2021, aka, the day we’ve all been dreaming about ever since March 2020!
So say hello to 2021 with eggs, pancakes, muffins, homemade bread and more. After compiling this list, I want to make them all!
Happy Brunching!!
MAKE AHEAD/SEMI MAKE AHEAD
Some of these are recipes you can entirely make the day before (or even earlier in the case of the breads) and simply reheat.

Overnight Snickerdoodle Scones
Use-Up-The-Bagels Bread Pudding
Weekend Waffles (you must make the batter overnight)
Blueberry Streusel Muffins (you can make the batter and streusel the night before and then bake up in the am
MAKE THE MORNING OF
These are dishes best made for only a few people and when time and hangriness are not part of the equation. That’s not to say that they’re complicated, just that you’ll definitely be spending some time in the kitchen on Day One of the new year (which is not necessarily a bad way to kick things off!)
