I want to thank my readers for helping me compile this gluten free dairy free egg 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 (and adding a link to it is even better!). Thanks in advance.
Why We Have to Eat Gluten Free Dairy Free Egg Free
My son was a baby when he was diagnosed with a wheat food allergy, dairy food allergy and egg food allergy. I remember thinking that we might possibly starve. Those three food groups feel like they’re in everything–ESPECIALLY breakfast recipes. Add to it that my husband is gluten intolerant and I thought I might go crazy.
After years of practice, I’ve found there are still some really good staples that we can enjoy as a whole family. I like to cook to the lowest common denominator, and there’s some breakfast recipes we like SO MUCH that we even will have them for dinner (since our mornings are so rushed.) I hope whether you have food allergies, intolerances, are on an elimination diet, have Celiac disease, or a medical or lifestyle necessity that you’re able to find some new favorites and start your morning off right.
Important info before looking at the gluten free dairy free egg 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.
- If any of the homemade 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 (we prefer Earth Balance).
- 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 (I like to look for is made from white or brown rice flour, potato starch and tapioca starch). Be sure to read the text above the recipe card. In my recipes, I never call for almond flour making all of my recipes nut free as well! I also stay away from more rare type of flours, like cassava flour or coconut flour just for simplicity and budget.
- Do these work as a vegan option? Yes and no. Technically, all of these recipes should be vegan as well, since they don’t have dairy products or egg products, therefore eliminating animal products. However, there are many vegans who don’t like to eat something unless they’ve checked all of the sourcing and manufacturing to ensure no animals were used at any portion. So, before feeding any of these to vegans, be sure to check with them on their comfort level.
- 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. None of these are sponsored.
I hope that this long list of delicious gluten-free dairy-free egg-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. Whether you have a sweet tooth, and you want something like homemade donuts or waffles, or something savory like faux egg frittatas there should be something for everyone.
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 a special breakfast-for-dinner as they’re too good to only eat in the mornings!

This website just saved me! We are still trying to find out what my youngest is allergic to so we have to eliminate dairy, eggs, and wheat. I was so overwhelmed but you’ve put it ALL right here to help this busy mama! Thank you so much!
Megan Lavin
I’m so glad you found my site when you needed it. A God wink! Yes, I figured if I had to figure it out for my family, I may as well share it because there are plenty of others who would need it. Create the thing you wish you had!
Deanna
Do you happen to have a flour that doesn’t contain potato starch? I’m also allergic to potatos as well as eggs dairy and gluten.
Megan Lavin
You could try my flour blend with corn starch instead of potato and see if that works?

hello. under your gf, df and ef section you put malt o meal as a gf cereal. malt is a no no, contains gluten. the rice version is fine. i do like that you and so many others have out this together because breakfast is hard without eggs!
Megan Lavin
It really is hard without eggs. “Malt o Meal” is a brand. Not a cereal I’m suggesting. If you click on it, you’ll see it take you to the actual product and can read the label there. Thanks for being vigilant too.
Jessica
Omg. Thank you so much for this list. I am so glad I found your blog. My 7 month old is dairy and egg sensitive since birth and now I just realized gluten is causing a face rash. I was about to spiral because I have never had to deal with cooking with so many limitations! Health eating is so important to me and I already was having a tough time but this gave me so many options. Thank you for sharing !
Megan Lavin
Hey Jessica! That makes me feel so good. I appreciate your kind words and am glad my post was able to give you some ideas. You’ve got this!

We have been buying Carbonaut Gluten Free White Bread. It is plant based and gluten free. It is expensive, but it makes a soft PB sandwich for our kiddo. I feel like most GF breads aren’t very good unless toasted. Wanted to share for anyone else looking for a soft white bread. None are as good as your homemade recipe though! 🙂
Megan Lavin
Never heard of that bread. Thanks so much for letting me know.
KELLY
I just found your website during a search for egg and gluten free recipes. I was just diagnosed with a wheat and egg allergy, bad enough that I need to cut these items immediately. I honestly felt like my world just caved in, however, your website and insight into this world has given me HOPE! Thank you:))
Megan Lavin
Oh, I’m so glad to hear that. Yes, having to take things out immediately is so overwhelming, I know that feeling too well. But, once you find some recipes you enjoy, you’ll get in the groove of it. I hope my site can be helpful. Everything on my site is wheat and egg free, so go crazy and find some new normal.
Tara
Thank you for all of these suggestions! The only thing I saw that seems to be inaccurate is the oui yogurt (https://www.ouibyyoplait.com/product/coconut/). It is not dairy free. Thank you!
Megan Lavin
Hello Tara. Thanks for stopping by. Oui does have coconut dairy alternative flavors. They are (as listed on their site): “Dairy Free Pumpkin Caramel, Dairy Free Vanilla, Dairy Free Strawberry, Dairy Free Raspsberry, Dairy Free Mango and Dairy Free Coconut.” You have to scroll down to the “dairy free” section. https://www.ouibyyoplait.com/products
Sam
There are tons of GF egg free breads and bagels. You just aren’t looking. 😬
Megan Lavin
Hi! I do live in a small town, so if you are able to shop at more places and have brands you could list for other readers, that would be great! Please share.
