Pancake and Waffle Breakfast Boards Are Almost Too Pretty to Eat—ALMOST

Food boards are having a moment. What was once reserved for cheese and crackers has exploded with new possibilities. Have you seen this spectacular birthday dessert board? @TheBakerMama is back, and she has us wowed with her newest breakfast board creations.

We Love These Breakfast Boards

@TheBakerMama, aka Maegan Brown is the author of the cookbook Beautiful Boards ($19) and shares all her gorgeous board inspirations on Instagram. She continues to inspire us with her creativity, including these two new breakfast boards featuring waffles, pancakes and all the toppings you could possibly imagine.

This delicious board has golden waffles (some with blueberries and some without), crispy bacon and a variety of toppings: butter, peanut butter, Nutella, honey, pecans, chocolate chips, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, raspberries and maple syrup. Maegan recommends in her Instagram post to start by placing the toppings first, then the warm syrup, waffles and bacon just before serving. “I keep our waffles & bacon in a 200° F warming oven until I’m ready to put them on the board.” Such a good idea!

Here are our favorite waffle recipes.

Pancakes are the star of this presentation as they cascade down the middle of the board, surrounded by a variety of toppings like fresh fruit and chocolate chips, butter, peanut butter, Nutella and perfectly baked bacon. Maegan shares step-by-step instructions for this breakfast board on her website, but feel free to get creative! We would add some fresh whipped cream, sprinkles and chocolate sauce for dessert pancakes. Yum.
