I want to thank my readers for helping me compile this gluten free dairy free breakfast list. Sometimes, no matter how much you watch for new products, you find new things by talking to other allergy moms. Together we are stronger together. So, do me a favor, and if I missed your comment in my social media, or you have something new to add, add it in the comment section below.
Important info before looking at the gluten free dairy free breakfast recipes:
- PLEASE be sure to read the actual package in the store before you buy it, as recipes and manufacturing processes may have changed since the time of publishing and company websites aren’t always as up to date as actual labels.
- Also–there may be some suggestions I’ve either personally tried, or added because a reader submitted it that you might not agree with. And that’s OK. As people with food allergies, medical conditions, Celiac, vegan or other dietary restrictions, there is a huge spectrum of what we feel comfortable eating or giving a loved one. Some have to check manufacturing processes and some are OK with “may contain” or “certified” statements. This list is not something you have to follow, but simply a guide to help get the creative juices flowing, and to help you, not to shame you. So, please refrain from negative comments.
- All of the homemade breakfast recipes include a vegan option as well, since my son also can’t do eggs due to an egg allergy. If you can do eggs, feel free to always sub those back into the recipe. (Though ground flax seeds are a wonderful egg replacer and are always great way to sneak in a nutritious breakfast ingredient!)
- If any of the recipes call for a milk substitute, you can use any non-dairy milk you prefer. You’ll notice I always call for rice milk, because I believe that has the least after taste and is the easiest taste to mask. But, you’re welcome to use almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk or coconut milk. Whatever works for your individual diet. The same goes for the butter alternatives as well.
- If there’s a recipe that calls for a gluten-free flour blend, you can use my homemade recipe, and if not, each individual recipe page should help guide you to a store bought option as well. Be sure to read the text above the recipe card. In my recipes, I never call for almond flour or coconut flour, making all of my recipes nut free as well!
- I’ve tried to add links to any that I can, so you can personally check them out before shopping for them. Some I couldn’t find, but hopefully this will still be helpful.
I hope that this long list of delicious gluten free dairy-free breakfast recipes will help you all enjoy breakfast once again, after all: it’s the most important meal of the day. Despite your food intolerances, I hope you can find something new and maybe something store bought that will make your mornings go a bit easier. You may find you’re like us, and you like these recipes so much, that no matter the time of day, you’ll eat them. Now that we some recipes we can’t get enough of, we have them as breakfast-for-dinner all the time!
