10 brunch trends we're loving right now

Chia seeds are packed with nutrients and antioxidants, which is why they're the perfect way to get your day off to a great start. Stir them through this creamy parfait for a quick and easy brunch the whole family will enjoy.

Mexican food is so hot right now. Create a brunch-time flavour fiesta with this fiery mince and baked eggs combo. 

Bring a retro brunch, like French toast, back into fashion with a few gourmet tweaks. First, start by using a good-quality fruit bread like Tip Top Café Brioche style with Fruit rather than a plain loaf. Dip two pieces of the bread in a mixture of sweetened mascarpone, before filling sandwich-style with beautiful black cherries. Keeping the sandwich intact, dip it into the egg and milk mix before frying. We guarantee that once you try French toast like this, you'll never go back.

Sweet potatoes contain folate and dietary fibre, are an excellent source of beta carotene and vitamin C, and are also a good source of vitamin E. These modern pancakes may not be the healthiest, but we bet the sweet potato in the mix will definitely win you over.

Go bigger and better with this hash brown tray bake that will satisfy even the biggest appetites. Everyone will be sure to accept these bacon roses, which are filled with wilted spinach and baked eggs.

From freakshakes to rainbow centres, doughnuts have been a major trend this year. It's easier than you may think to make your own with these free-form doughnut bites. Don't forget to serve mugs of hot chocolate for sneaky doughnut dipping!

Freekeh is the new super grain that has found its way on to all the trendiest restaurant menus. Freekeh is wheat that is picked while still green, then roasted. Compared to regular wheat, freekeh contains higher levels of protein and dietary fibre, as well as calcium, potassium, iron and zinc. Try it in this satisfying brunch salad with beetroot and dukkah-rolled eggs.

Bring finger food back to the brunch table with these fun skewers. Thread the skewers with mini pancakes, fresh fruit and small rounds of fruit toast for a sweet treat that will make you the 'toast' of the town.

Making food from scratch is a food trend that is becoming more popular as people are discovering the goodness in the foods that their grandparents used to make. This simple raspberry jam requires no special ingredients and is made in the microwave in less than 15 minutes. Smother it generously on a slice of fruit toast for the ultimate brunch indulgence.

One of our favourite new trends is the smoothie bowl. Grab your spoons - these brunch delights are packed with protein and fibre, but taste like a decadent dessert. 

These brilliant brunches are proudly brought to you by Tip Top Café Brioche style with Fruit.
