Our recipe is pretty simple to whip up, and each guest can have their very own "muffin." They are scrumptious to eat and will look super appetizing when put together on a pretty glass platter, complete with a paper doily, or even spread out on two different platters to balance out your colorful food buffet. Consider adding a few cherry tomatoes and a few fresh basil leaves for a very professional touch on the sides of your serving platter.
Blackberry cobbler adds buttery goodness to your Easter spread
Blackberry cobbler is always a good idea for dessert. Not only is our recipe dangerously delicious, but it will also add a beautiful pop of purple color to your brunch spread. Filled with crunchy, sweet, buttery goodness, your guests will be coming back for second ... and even third helpings.
You will need blackberries, cinnamon, and sugar for the filling, which will be covered with a mixture of cornstarch and water before boiling. We all know the best part of cobbler is the crumble topping, which will require flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, butter, and buttermilk. Digging into this treat will certainly be one of the sweetest endings to everyone's Easter Sunday.

Every Easter brunch needs a basket of fresh blueberry muffins
There's nothing quite like a basket of fresh blueberry muffins straight out of the oven to make a well-rounded brunch. Our recipe for blueberry muffins trumps all the rest, with its streusel topping that is seriously divine. Round up your ingredients such as brown and white sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, two eggs, oil, milk, fresh blueberries, and butter.
