Whether you have gluten intolerances/allergies or simply choose to avoid gluten, the recipes below include a variety of classics recreated into delicious gluten-free versions everyone can enjoy.

Everyone loves waffles, and just because your child is gluten-free doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy them. These cinnamon waffles are so much tastier than store-bought gluten-free waffles with simpler ingredients. It’s a win-win! Bonus points if you drizzle them with Homemade Cinnamon Syrup.

Gluten-Free Pancake Ideas

Time to ditch the gluten-free pancake mixes for any of these homemade versions. It doesn’t take fancy ingredients to achieve the ultimate stack of perfectly, fluffy pancakes while adhering to your gluten-free lifestyle. For recipes using a 1:1 all-purpose gluten-free flour, I like this one best, for pancakes.

Gluten-Free Oatmeal Recipes

We love making overnight oats around here, and once you master the basic overnight oat recipe, it’s fun to get creative and experiment with all sorts of incredible flavors and add-ins. They’re also useful for prep-ahead breakfasts because they stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days! Which is why I lean on this recipe often for breakfast and even lunch! 

All of the recipes below can be made dairy-free by swapping regular milk for your favorite non-dairy alternative, I like using almond milk. 

Recipe: Apple Pie Overnight Oats
With just a couple of ingredients and a few active minutes of preparation, you can make these simple apple pie inspired overnight oats for a satisfying breakfast option. 

Recipe: Bananas Foster Overnight Oats
Can you imagine eating Bananas Foster for breakfast and calling it healthy? You can with these overnight oats. By quickly sauteeing sliced bananas with cinnamon and maple syrup you’ll add a TON of flavor to oats while keeping your breakfast on the light side.

Hot baked oatmeal with tart cranberries and fresh orange zest is the kind of breakfast that tastes like the holidays, but shouldn’t be limited to the holidays only! Enjoy this for breakfast any time of year, swapping the cranberries for strawberries, blackberries, and whatever berry is in season.
