Gluten & Dairy-Free Breakfast Planning

I’ve been on a gluten and dairy-free diet for over a decade now, and I am still discovering new and delicious recipe ideas. In this post, I’ve compiled 125 ideas and recipes that you can use to plan a menu to meet your dietary needs.

You can keep it simple and stick with items like fruit, eggs, gluten-free toast, dinner leftovers, or smoothies, or get fancy and make full on recipes.

I hope this list is helpful of anyone with food allergies who is looking to upgrade the first meal of the day.

Basic tips

Whether you’re planning gluten-free and dairy-free breakfast recipes for just you or for the whole family, try to start with simple ingredients that you have on hand (such as chia seeds, non-dairy milk, orange juice, etc). Then, you can develop a plan to make your first meal of the day as nutritious, easy, and delicious as it can be.

On busy mornings, stick with make-ahead or very simple recipes. Gluten-free oats or smoothie bowls come to mind. If you want more elaborate dairy and gluten-free breakfast recipes (like for a weekend brunch or special occasions), shoot for breakfast casseroles or breakfast hash made with eggs and sweet potatoes.

Try to always get a balance of macronutrients with your meals including protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. This way, your breakfast will energize you for the morning and carry you to lunchtime.
