Whether you’re eating gluten free because you’re gluten intolerant, or you’re just looking for healthy breakfast ideas to switch up your routine, I’ve got you covered.
These recipes either don’t have any flour, or are made with a gluten-free flour alternatives like oat flour, almond flour, or chickpea flour. Let’s get to the list!

They’re made with a combination of chickpea flour and millet flour for a crave-worthy gluten free breakfast muffin the whole family will love.
Gluten Free Banana Pumpkin Pancakes
Flourless pumpkin spice pancakes are an easy autumn-inspired breakfast! They’re naturally sweetened with ripe banana, and have ground flaxseed and egg for extra staying power (and to bind them together).
I love them topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt and chopped pecans or walnuts, but they’re tasty with maple syrup too – or simply eat them as is!
Mango Chia Pudding
Say hello to the best hands-off breakfast: mango chia pudding! It’s super creamy (and dairy free) thanks to the coconut milk, and doesn’t require any cooking.
Just blend up the mango, toss everything into a jar, stir it up, and let it sit overnight. In the morning, slice up some mango (plus any other fruit you want) and dig in!

It comes together with just a few minutes of prep time, then it sits in the fridge overnight and is ready by morning!

This creamy goat cheese frittata (like a crustless quiche) looks fancy, but is simple to make! Packed with veggies like spinach and mushrooms – and protein from lots of eggs – it’s a perfect brunch option.
Plus, it pairs beautifully with sweeter breakfast food like muffins or fruit salad. Obviously just leave out the toast if you’re gluten free – or enjoy a gluten free toast!

Banana chia pudding is made ultra creamy with coconut milk! It’s dairy free, easy to make ahead, and sweetened with ripe banana and maple syrup (or honey).
Plus, you can add any toppings you like. I love raspberries, shredded or flaked coconut, and extra banana slices.
Berry Quinoa Bake with Lemon
If you haven’t tried quinoa in a ‘sweet’ dish, you’re missing out! It’s a gluten-free whole grain (well, technically a seed!) that’s delicious when paired with fruit, like in this lemon quinoa bake with mixed summer berries.
It’s a lot like baked oatmeal, with a slightly different texture. And, it takes on the flavors it’s cooked with. Try this coconut breakfast quinoa bowl, too!

Serve it on its own, or with a side of fresh fruit or gluten-free bread.

This zesty fruit salad is tossed in a lightly sweet honey yogurt lime dressing and makes a great make-ahead breakfast/brunch side dish! Any fruit works here – berries, melon, grapes, the list goes on.
You can easily incorporate seasonality here, like using pineapple or mango in the summer, and pomegranate seeds and oranges in the winter.
Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins
These adorable fall-inspired pumpkin muffins are made with a combination of almond flour and coconut flour for a lovely soft texture. They’re full of warm spices, pumpkin puree, walnuts, and raisins.

Gluten Free Breakfast Quinoa Bowl with Coconut
Quinoa dishes don’t always have to be savory! This quinoa is cooked in coconut milk for a creamy, coconut-flavored breakfast bowl that’s totally satisfying.
This is a fabulous alternative to oatmeal, and you can top it with whatever you want. I love unsweetened flaked coconut, banana slices, and sliced almonds – but you do you!

This crustless quiche is packed with creamy goat cheese and spring veggies (like asparagus and peas). You can easily switch this recipe up with your favorite vegetables and cheese based on your preference or what is in season when you make it.
It’s fancy enough for brunch, but easy enough for meal prep breakfasts all week.
Savory Oatmeal with Eggs

These are a weekly staple in our house – we make them all the time because the kids love them, too! We usually do the microwave version (detailed in the blog post) on weekdays to keep things extra simple.
Healthy Banana Baked Oatmeal
Banana baked oatmeal is the perfect mix of comforting and healthy. Dried fruit, chopped nuts, applesauce, oats, and ripe bananas all come together for a flavorful oatmeal slice that’ll keep you full all morning long.
This recipe is easily customizable, too – you can use pretty much any flavors and/or fillings your heart desires!
Gluten Free Peach Breakfast Muffins
Juicy peaches are one of my favorite fruits, so it’s no wonder I’m obsessed with these peach muffins! They’re dairy free and gluten free (made with a combination of oat flour and almond flour), but still light and fluffy, with bits of peach in every bite.
So delicious. Try them with a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra boost of protein!
