With Motherโ€™s Day just around the corner, we sharing some last-minute edible gift ideas that children, young and old, could whip up in the kitchen.

No matter if your mum enjoys breakfast in bed, indulges in a sweet treat at night or prefers a protein ball after a workout, Mayverโ€™s has a recipe sure to spoil every mum.

For those who donโ€™t live at home or arenโ€™t able to visit their mum or grandmother this year, a lot of these recipes are super portable and make great additions to a Motherโ€™s Day gift basket to be left from afar.

Mums deserve to be spoiled every day and these recipes are a fantastic way to treat your mother any day of the week, if for no reason at all, just to let them know how special they are. Hereโ€™s to the mums!

For the sweet tooth

Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Avocado Mousse

Time: 10 minutes | Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 Avocado
  • 2 Tbspย Peanut and Cacao spread
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp cacao powder
  • A drop of vanilla extract

Method

  1. Place all ingredients in a blender and whiz until smooth
  2. Decorate with raspberries
  3. Enjoy!

This delish recipe was provided by the talentedย @hazel_and_cacao


Chocolate Tahini Bliss Balls

Time: 25 Minutes | Serves: 12

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup of unhulled tahini
  • 1/8 cup of maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup of finely shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup of almond meal
  • 1/4 cup of quinoa flakes
  • 1/8 cup cacao
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp instant espresso โ€“ to help enhance the richness of the chocolate
  • Sprinkles
  • Cacao
  • Coconut flakes

Method

  1. Place all ingredients into a medium-size bowl and stir to combine.
  2. If the mixture is a little dry add a splash of water (a teaspoon at a time) until it sticks together to form a sticky โ€œdoughโ€
  3. Scoop a small section of dough and shape roll in the palm of your hand to shape into bite-size balls, repeat until all the mixture has been used. FYI โ€“ I use approx 1 heaping teaspoon per bite which makes them the perfect size for popping into your mouth on the down low so you donโ€™t have to share ?
  4. If you are going to coat your bliss bites in cacao, coconut or sprinkles simple place your cacao, coconut and/or sprinkles into a small bowl or ziplock bag and gently press/shake until nicely coated. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
