February is here, meaning one of our beloved baking occasions has finally arrived – Galentine’s Day!
No, that wasn’t an autocorrect fail. Ever since Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation deemed February 13 to be Galentine’s Day, both single and paired ladies unite to celebrate female friendships. While we also love Valentine’s Day, nothing can top a ladies’ day in, especially when brunch is involved.
If you’re looking for the perfect way to celebrate what Leslie calls “the best day of the year,” look no further then our Galentine’s Day brunch menu. From drinks to bites, we have everything you need for an epic at-home brunch with your favorite gal pals.
Crack open the bubbly and kick off the festivities with our Vanilla Bean Peach Bellini. This refreshing sipper is an elevated take on the classic mimosa, making it a blissful pairing for your brunch spread. Substitute the sparkling wine in the cocktail with sparkling apple cider, seltzer water or ginger beer to enjoy spirit-free.
Galentine’s Day wouldn’t be complete without waffles, and these homemade Lemon Poppyseed Waffles with Vanilla Blueberry Sauce are sure to be a crowd-pleaser. The recipe uses better-for-you ingredients to make this brunch staple vegan and gluten-free, so all can enjoy the spring-like flavors of lemon, blueberry and vanilla.
Matcha + donuts = a sweet “matcha” made in heaven. These donuts pack double the matcha flavor with finely powdered matcha green tea leaves added to the donuts and glaze. Not only are these delicious, but the caffeine in the tea will give you and your girlfriends the energy to swap stories all afternoon long.
Pumpkin spice may be so last season, but these Pumpkin Sage Madeleines are anything but. Sweet pumpkin and “scent-sational” sage come together in such an irresistible way that you won’t be able to have just one. Soft, buttery and aromatic, these delicate French pastries are the perfect way to wrap up your new favorite holiday.
