Stuck for gluten free breakfast ideas?

In fact, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.

What did you eat in the morning before you were diagnosed with celiac disease? Cereals? Toast? Muffins? There is no reason why you can't substitute those foods with gluten free equivalents, but there are so many other options you can try!

Don't take my word for it. At the bottom of this page you will find ideas and recipes shared by other visitors to the site, in addition to my own recipes and suggestions below...

• Kedgeree

• Potato bread

• Almond flour pancakes

• Buckwheat porridge

• Breakfast bar recipe

• Gluten free muffin recipe

• Avocado chocolate mousse

• Baked bananas

Something quick and easy

I know, I know! You are so rushed in the mornings that there is little time for cooking a nutritious gluten free breakfast, just for you. It was so much easier when you could just tip some cereal in a bowl, pour on milk and eat it while getting ready for work or school, wasn't it?

You still can! There are a number of manufacturers who produce safe versions that you can eat, such as Nature's Path.Just because Shredded Wheat and Weetabix are not gluten free, it doesn't mean you have to go without your cereal fix.

I have to admit it was a bit of a blow when brands like Kellog's started putting malt flavorings in their cereals, effectively putting them off my menu. But in the long term it made me much more adventurous as I had to look for alternative gluten free breakfast ideas.

Healthy gluten free breakfast ideas

• Banana and strawberry smoothie: Whizz up a banana and some strawberries with some milk (or a milk substitute such as soya, rice or almond milk if you need a gluten free dairy free breakfast). Add a couple of ice cubes for a quick, healthy summer treat.
• Baked eggs. Wipe a small dish with butter or margarine, grate some cheese into the base, crack an egg on top and add a little more cheese on top of that, season with salt and pepper and pop it into the oven for 10 minutes. Gorgeous!
• Gluten free toast and marmalade can be made in your own toaster (don't let the non-celiac's use it!)
• Go to work on a boiled egg. Soft boil a couple of eggs per person and serve with a slice of gluten free bread or crispbread
• Add some grated cheese to your scrambled eggs and serve on gluten free toast
• Fill up with a bowl of muesli. You can buy gluten free muesli or make your own with your favorite ingredients. Serve with milk, or milk substitute, and top with fresh fruit (I like bananas or mixed berries on top of mine)
• A similar idea is a gluten free breakfast health bar, again either bought or homemade, a solution that you can take with you if you run out of time!
• Peel and slice an apple, pop it into the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped almonds and serve with a dollop of gluten free yoghurt. Tasty and quick.
• Make an adult sized portion of the babies ground rice with apple, for yourself, while cooking theirs

Weekend Specials

• With extra time available, and the family spending the day together at home, we make the most of it and often enjoy a full English breakfast, consisting of bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and even a gluten free sausage from the local farm shop. Sometimes we also throw in a hash brown or potato waffle, but only after checking the ingredients didn't include anything suspect!

• Although oats are only safe if they are certified gf, there are many other grains that can be used to make gluten free porridge. Be adventurous and try buckwheat, quinoa or my favorite, millet flakes.

• In the Orient a popular breakfast dish is made from rice. Congee is a savoury soup containing rice, that has been cooked in lots of boiling water until it is really soft and fluffy, and meat or fish.

• My favourite Potato bread recipe, or Fadge, is a traditional Irish dish that can make use of those leftover potatoes from the night before.

• An omelette is always a popular gluten free breakfast, filled with cheese, mushrooms or bacon. If you haven't made an omelette before you will find easy instructions at the-first-time-cook.com

  Or why not try a Spanish omelette. If you have leftover boiled potatoes you can also cut them up into small chunks and add them along with cooked peas or sweetcorn kernels. You could also throw in chopped ham and make your gluten free breakfast into a brunch that will keep you going until your evening meal.
