Gluten free breakfasts?

Great ideas. I usually cook large flake oatmeal in the microwave. It takes about 5 minutes and is delicious. I top it with berries, rice milk and agave. Yum.
Vans Waffles for a quick treat but I sometimes make my own.0 -
I have Porridge just about every morning. It's good fuel to start the day, and good for keeping cholesterol low.

Vans gluten free waffles are good.0

During the work week, greek yogurt with organic golden flax seed thrown in, and coffee--0

I also had some Canyon Bakehouse gluten free multi-grain (or 7-grain) toast today, from a loaf that has been in the freezer for months (a gift we didn't get around to using), and I enjoyed it perfectly well--I'm glad to find a company that tastes good and makes good toast!0

I eat oatmeal (McCann's Irish Oatmeal or Bulk quick oats from Earth Fare, never have given me problems) with dried goji berries, ground flax seeds, and blueberries when they are in season. When I don't feel like that I have tofu scramble (tofu, nutritional yeast, mushrooms, and vegetable based butter.) If I am in a hurry I usually just have a piece or two of fruit.0

I love to make protein pancakes, especially after a workout. I sneak spinach in mine (chopped so tiny you can't even tell it's in there) and have some greek yogurt on the side. This recipe makes two pancakes and is about 100 calories for the whole thing.
Recipe:
1 scoop protein powder
1 tbls flax meal
1 tbls psyllium husk
1 egg white
1 handful spinach, chopped
1/4 cup water (add a little more if you like your pancake mix runnier)
Pinch of salt
Cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Mix everything together and cook as you would regular pancakes. You can also easily add other spices, flavors, etc.
I top mine with a little yogurt butter (http://www.makinglifebetter.com/brands/brummelbrown/) and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.

Oatmeal with milk and stevia is my regular weekday breakfast. It's fast and simple, and not having any sugar keeps me from becoming ravenous a few hours later, sometimes I throw in a little honey for extra flavor. It seems boring, but when I consistantly eat this I am more likely to make better choices the rest of the day (like commercials tout for nutra-grain bars, but they are actually just sugary junk food).
If I go on a long run or do a heavy workout in the morning, I make "super oatmeal!" and add some almond or peanut butter, half a banana (the dog gets the other half) and a bit of honey along with the milk. Sometimes a scoop of protein powder too.
I have been reading articles about olympic athletes' diets, and many of them are big advocates of honey and almond butter for energy. Given, almond butter is very calorie-dense, and honey is very sweet, and professional athletes burn a LOT of calories, but they have high-quality nutrition, so we can eat them too, just really have to watch how much you eat.0 -
I make big batches of waffles on the weekends and freeze them for easy breakfast foods.0

I make up a big egg bake once a week and we just cut pieces off and nuke them in the morning. It's pretty versatile but the basics are:
24 whole eggs
1-2 tsps mustard powder (roughly. I don't measure)
1/4 cup milk, half and half or heavy whipping cream (although forgot this part last time and it didn't make much of a difference)
salt, pepper and cayenne pepper to taste
Then you clean out the fridge! Often I'll do cooked sausage, cheese, peppers and onions (i precook the onions because that's how I like them.)
We also like broccoli and cooked chicken with a variety of cheeses. Mixed vegetables with ham and cheese, spinach and chicken with parmesan, chicken, pork or spicy sausage with salsa, cheese and sometimes potatoes.
Like I said, it's pretty versatile and you can add whatever you want into it. If you're dairy free just don't add the milk and skip any dairy (cheese) products. Oh, diced, parboiled (precooked) potatoes are really good in most combos too. I have been known to throw a tater tot or french fry in if they happen to be on hand and skip the potato cooking.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. I should note that this is for my big Pampered Chef 9x13 baker that is deeper than the typical 9x13 pan. If you're using a glass Pyrex type 9x13 you'll want to reduce the eggs to about 20. Yes I know it's a lot of eggs but they're inexpensive to buy and I happen to have 20 chickens so we're up to our eyeballs in eggs!0 -
I've been known to make great gluten free waffles! I use blue cornmeal and use a gluten free mix like Arrowhead. I took the recipe on the box and put about 1/4 of a cup of blue corn instead of the mix. You add it to a waffle maker and they end up sorta thick and really tasty. I don't know if you have issues with corn but if not - you'd like this. I hate the really fluffy no satisfaction feeling from some store bought waffles. These will fill the belly and taste great with maple syrup.

Dear JamBkur
I like savoury breakfasts: bacon, eggs, sausage (gluten free of course), black pudding........ah well there's not many of those whilst trying to diminish those kgs.
So I make a savoury breakfast with 'poha' rice. Poha rice is precooked, flattened and dried rice and is a traditional Indian food and here in the UK is available in big Indian food shops.
There are lots of Indian recipes online, for example see http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/2011/03/21/poha-or-chudway-flattened-rice/ .
But then I also anglicise it by using herbs used in British cookery such as sage, thyme and parsley instead of spices. I also include lots and lots of vegetables. It's not an exact food - throw in what you have/fancy.
It freezes really well: and so cooking every day is not necessary.
By my calculation a really big bowl contains about 300 calories.
Happy breakfasts

Am I the only kid at heart here? My gluten free breakfast is Fruity Pebbles, Coco Pebbles, and Chex! All Gluten free!0

I have a few breakfast standbys
A Visalus protein smoothie, 2 TB plus a small banana and [any fruit] or a TB of PB2, powdered peanut butter -- YUM!
A greek yogurt
One whole egg plus one egg white, with a sprinkle of Pampered Chef Southwest Seasoning and shredded raw baby spinach
Or the above eggs with a teaspoon of light pesto. Insanely delish.
On Sundays - Pamela's pancakes. made with almond milk instead of water.0 -
I make all kinds of stuff for breakfast.
I'm a huge fan of hot rice cereal (I use almond milk...sometimes even chocolate almond milk).
I make my own granola using GF oats, millet, quinoa, and raisins/craisins.
Homemade coconut milk yogurt
Vegan GF pancakes (pumpkin is especially awesome)
I also like to make muffins or other breakfast pastry stuff and freeze it in individual bags and then I'll pull them out at night and eat them in the morning...0 -
I've been having scrambled egg whites (10 tbsp) with avocado, red bell pepper, green & red onion, spinach, and a pinch of shredded parmesan, and lately adding 2 slices of peppered turkey bacon as well. It's protein-packed, pretty low in fat and carbs, and has a decent amount of fiber... AND it's delicious!0

I usually eat a cup of turkey chili with two tbl spoon of whole fat sour cream and a half cup of blueberries. I don't eat processed gluten free products at all. way too much other crap in them. I believe in good fats, whole foods, ample protein, carbs from most plant based things. I also eat fresh eggs (1 egg and 4 egg whites) in a homemade flax wrap (takes 3 minutes to cook) then I add sourcream, avocado, peppercinins and maybe some franks red hot to spice it up! OR.... I toast some homemade flax bread, split it and throw some pureed avocado and an egg on it. OR.. some yummy homemade turkey sausage with flax bread and an egg...hope this helps! 0

My breakfast options vary with the weather. Right now since it's been hot, I've mostly been having fresh fruit and plain greek yogurt (either in a bowl or smoothie style with some added soymilk).
When it's cooler I'll have cream of buckwheat; gluten free oatmeal; Pamela's pancakes; eggs; fried rice; tofu scramble; quinoa and vegetables; thin rice noodles with fried tofu, garlic, and bok choy; pak bung fai daeng (stir-fried ong choi with garlic and thai chilies)... there are a ton of choices.
If I'm in a hurry, I'll have boxed cereal, but I don't like how much sugar is in the ones that taste good and it doesn't keep me full for long, so that tends to be my emergency choice.0 -
I usually have three medium eggs, 1 oz swiss cheese, 1 serving prunes and occasionally a slice of Udi's or Rudi's multigrain bread.
If I'm feeling frisky and have the cals to burn- I make cornbread fritters.
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup water
2-4 tsp baking powder (high in sodium so FYI)
Soak cornmeal in water while 2 tbsp oil heats up in a pan. Mix in baking powder to soaked cornmeal. Drop into hot oil and cook like pancakes.
Smear with peanut butter, cream cheese, syrup, fruit or just plain ol salt and pepper. they're delish and an easy way to get cals up on weight training days.
I skip baked goods most of the time. They leave me hungry in half an hour anyway.
Oh yeah...corbread fritters...They are so tasty with some applesauce and maples syrup on top!! And no cheating, you need REAL maple syrup. It's amazing.0 -
bump...some yummy ideas!0

I got a recipe idea in another thread,
using a silicone muffin pan or liners
beat 1 egg per muffin cup, add some vegetables, cheese (I use goat as i'm lactose-free)
bake 20 minutes @ 350
they can be frozen or reheated throughout the week... I personally heat them up for 30 seconds in the micro-wave 0 -
I eat Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles or Marshmallow Pebbles with Almond Milk. Or Sausage with a little chesse. I do not cook breakfast, takes too much time.
Another option, Kind Bars or bananas.0 -

I usually do scrambled eggs with goat yogurt mixed in! I pretty much eat eggs every morning. 8 get bloated from oats but I can tolerate them okay (minor stomach pain) but are so good for you and low calorie so I will do quick oats with almond milk and fruit.
I will also make goat yogurt ranch that goes well in the eggs, 1 cup goat yogurt (or your choice yogurt) 1/2 almond milk, 1 packet ranch dressing mix. Makes a lot of servings, you can add more yogurt to make thicker or more milk to make it thinner.0 -
It depends, but lately since I loved Sonny Boy (creamed wheat) cereal as a kid, I've come close to something that satisfies (with only a little imagination). I had been trying Bobs Red Mill Creamy Buckwheat and Creamy Brown rice cereals, but the texture wasn't quite there - so I mixed them 50/50 and it makes for a pretty close match, add a little cinnamon & brown sugar, hemp hearts or flax meal to mix it up a little.0

Lately I've settled into plain Greek yogurt w/wild blueberries and a cup of coffee. Later on I have 1/8 c of some type of raw nuts or seeds---walnuts, almonds, pistachios, sunflower seeds, pepitas. I rotate these. I don't add any sugar to the yogurt and do not eat nuts/seeds w/salt. To me---delicious!0

Wow, I thought I was having a pretty good breakfast with Yoplait Light Yogurt and one of Udi's great bread products. I'm impressed with the green smoothie, too, though I'd never have one. My son-in-law drinks them, too; says they're good. I'm going to have to try some of these other ideas like the pancakes. Glad I checked in today.:laugh: Since I have just a wheat allergy, I've found that I can also eat oatmeal and now that it's cold outside, I'm probably going to eat more of it.0
