Many of us think of roasting lamb or ham for Easter celebrations, but for some of us, Easter brunch is what's on the menu after the egg-hunt. For a special occasion like this one, you can go with classic homemade treats like parfaits and muffins, or break out unexpected treats like Carrot Cake Pancakes, Savoury French Toast and Vegan Shakshuka. This is the perfect excuse to impress with an indulgent, Southern-style Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, for instance!

To ensure success, start thinking now about ways to get ahead of the game. If you're going with these Fig & Walnut oatmeal Muffins, you can bake up a batch and freeze them beforehand. And the day before, prep your yogurt for these Lemon & Berry Chia Parfaits.
