Switching to gluten free dairy free breakfasts is pretty difficult because dairy products and the grains that contain gluten, are extremely common in the American diet.
And even though you will find in stores a large variety of sweet or savory gluten free dairy free breakfast options – they are probably not the best options for keeping a healthy digestion.
To my surprise most of them are advertised as healthy. Even if the package advertises whole grains or natural ingredients, when you read the back label you will also find a lot of refined low nutrient ingredients in there.
Make Healthier Gluten Free Dairy Free Breakfast In Your Kitchen
If you are trying to lower inflammation and heal a chronic condition the best thing to do is buy the ingredients separately and make homemade gluten and dairy free breakfast recipes with less sugar.
I know some people prefer to avoid eggs or meat for breakfast, so coming up with healthy vegan and gluten free breakfasts ideas could also be a challenge. But it’s totally doable! Preparing your breakfast with healthy fats, protein and fiber from unprocessed, whole real foods is best achieved in your kitchen. Plusyou will end up saving a lot of money in the long run!
GLUTEN FREE DAIRY FREE BREAKFAST IDEAS
So what can you eat for breakfast if you are gluten and dairy free?
You can still enjoy pancakes, muffins, crepes, waffles, granola, breakfast cookies and bars (gluten and dairy free of course) but you can also make gluten free porridges, dairy free breakfast smoothies, egg based or gluten free plant based breakfasts, and even English muffin sandwiches or toasts.
Here aresome healthy gluten and dairy free breakfast recipes that health-conscious people will like:
1. Gluten And Dairy Free Stuffed Crepes
These crepes are perfect for a delicious dairy free gluten free breakfast or brunch, and you can transform them into adessert if you add sweeteners!
They start with a gluten free dairy free crepe recipe and are filled with nut butter and fresh berries.
The raw walnut butteris a filling, nutrient-dense food with many essential vitamins, minerals and fats.
Instead of the traditional whipped cream I used a dairy free alternative – cashew yogurt, the plain, unsweetened version.
If you really want some sweetness, drizzle some raw organic honey or maple syrup (if you’re vegan).
2. FrenchOmelette
An omelette is a simple classic breakfast that is filling and tasty. In this dairy free option I excluded the cheese and added some buckwheat groats for fibre which will make you feel full longer.
Instead of bacon or ham (highly processed meat products that cause inflammation) I used mushrooms and bell peppers.
3.Sweet Potato Latkes
The classic latkes usually require white potatoes which is problematic for people withnightshade sensitivities. So I used sweet potatoes instead, plus they provide a lot more vitamin C and A.
And since this is a gluten and dairy free breakfast, I used brown rice flour instead of wheat flour. But you can also any gluten free flour you like.
You can change the recipe by adding fresh herbs and different spices. This makes a delicious savory sugar free gluten free dairy free breakfast that can be made ahead when you’re tight on time.
Note: In order to avoid oil, for frying I used a ceramic skillet. With it the latkes turned out perfect and uniformly golden.
4. Beet Pancakes
I love to boost my immune system with abeet, apple and carrot smoothieonce in a while. And this is another way to incorporate the nutritiousbeets into a tasty gluten free dairy free breakfast recipe.
You just throw all ingredients in the blender and the batter is ready in minutes.
I added some sliced avocados between pancakes, cucumbers for crunchiness and my favorite pumpkin seed butter.
You can adjust the ingredients as you like and make a different gluten free dairy free breakfast recipe (sweet or savory).
5. Banana Pancakes
You probably won’t make pancakes every day but theseare the perfect weekend breakfast treat, that won’t mess up your healthy diet.
These pancakes arenaturally sweetened by banana, but you can drizzle some raw honey or pure maple syrup if you like them more sweet.
For extra fiber and flavor I also added some seeds and berriesover the batteras the first side was cooking. For recipe see card below.
Serve this gluten free dairy free breakfast with some plain dairy free coconut or cashew yogurt and fruits.
6. Zucchini Frittata
This frittata is an easymake-ahead gluten free dairy free breakfast and since this is a dairy free option, I skipped the milk and cheese.
I didn’t use a lot of eggs, as I prefer the vegetables barely coated with eggs not the other way around.
After mixing all ingredients all you have to do is pour everything in a bake dish and throw it in the oven, yo don’t even have to grease it with oil.
I used a 9×13″glasscasserole dishsand baked it in the oven. It’s easy to store and reheat right in the same dish.

Dairy Free Gluten Free Stuffed Crepes
To make the gluten free and dairy free crepes see this recipe. Spread some walnut butter or a seed butter and some fresh cut berries, roll the crepes or fold into triangles.
Drizzle some unsweetened cashew yogurt or your preferred dairy free yogurt and a sweetener of your choice. I opted for raw honey.
French Omelette
To the eggs, add the onions (chopped), cooked buckwheat groats (or other gluten free cooked grains), salt and pepper to taste.
Mix well and pour into a preheated skillet. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes at very low heat until the eggs are no longer liquid and the bottom has browned.
In a separate skillet saute the chopped onions, mushrooms, bell peppers until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
When the omelette is ready transfer to a plate, add the mushroom mixture on top, sprinkle some fresh cut chives and greens of your choice. Serve while warm.
Sweet Potato Latkes
Add the grated sweet potatoes to a bowl, then add the eggs, the mashed avocado, spices and the gluten free (rice) flour. Mix until well combined.
If the mixture is still too wet, add a little bit more flour. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil or grape-seed oil in a skillet.
Scoop approximately 2 tbsp of sweet potato mixture, lightly pressing down with the back of the spatula.
Sear on each side until browned. You should be able to fit 4-5 latkes in the skillet.
Banana Pancakes With Seeds and Blueberries
In a bowl mix all ingredients, add the baking soda the last, when ready to cook.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter. Add some seeds or blueberries while cooking on first side. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Serve with plant yogurt, maple syrup and fresh fruits.
Zucchini Frittata
Prepare all ingredients, wash, chop and slice.
In a large bowl gently mix together the eggs, the prepared veggies and seasoning. Pour in a baking dish. Bake for 30 -ish minutes or so, until all looks cooked through.
