PARTNER POST: We’ve teamed up with Bonne Maman to bring you the best homemade breakfast and brunch recipes to show Mom you care this Mother’s Day and all spring long.
Layered with whipped ricotta and apricot preserves and topped with a coconut crumble, this is a special bite we could eat for breakfast (or even dessert!) everyday.
I tend to shy away from sharing breakfast dishes, in part because my first meal of the day usually consists of some semblance of fruit, chia pudding, oatmeal or green juice; clean, simple, healthful, fare. In general, I want things that I can throw together in a matter of minutes, and like to keep my refrigerator and my pantry stocked with items that fall into those categories [clean, simple, healthful], as well. 
When I am not able to make something from scratch, I shop for brands that emulate the things that I value (that still taste like they are homemade, too). Bonne Maman is one of those brands. Their jellies, spreads, and preserves are crafted from natural, quality, ingredients. In addition, Bonne Maman is Non-GMO project verified.
Here I used their Apricot Preserves to make a sweet breakfast in bed treat that would be perfect for Mother’s Day. This recipe fits all of my personal requirements (See above!), but is special enough to make for my Mom on her special day, too!

I think my favorite part about this recipe is the wording you used at the very end –
“Repeat as desired.”
That’s gonna get me in trouble because I’m sure I’m going to desire multiple helpings!
