In fact, with some creative workarounds, it is easy to create gluten-free versions of the classics without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. Inventive ingredients like almond flour, sorghum, or even starchy vegetables offer unique (and delicious) takes on breakfast staples. Besides creating alternatives to wheat-based recipes, it’s sometimes helpful to think outside the grains-for-breakfast box entirely.

Try any of these 12 delicious recipes. Almond Flour Waffles Simply Recipes / Sally Vargas Baked goods made with almond flour can sometimes have a dense texture due to the higher fat content of almonds—but balanced with tapioca flour, these almond flour waffles from Simply Recipes come out light and crispy. Almond milk and almond extract add even more nutty flavor to this filling breakfast. Pro tip: Waffles freeze beautifully!

(You can add a teaspoon of coconut extract to the mix to boost tropical flavor.) After baking in the oven, the granola emerges in crunchy clusters ready to top with a splash of milk. While oats don’t naturally contain gluten, they may be at risk for cross-contamination with other gluten foods.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins Verywell / Patsy Catsos, MS, RDN, LD Yes, you can have chocolate at breakfast, even on a gluten-free diet. A half-cup of mini chocolate chips in these oatmeal chocolate chip muffins starts your day on a sweet note. These muffins also pack a nutritional punch.

Between its frozen cherries, grated carrots, chia seeds, and nuts, you’ll take in antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats galore—whipped up in a matter of minutes. This recipe is endlessly flexible, so customize it to your own preferences by swapping out different fruits, nut butters, or garnishes, if you like.
