Gluten-free breakfast ideas for the whole family
Breakfast is where gluten hides in plain sight: toast, cereal, pancakes and muffins. These recipes are gluten-free as written, from eggs and smoothies to pancakes made with gluten-free flour, so one breakfast works for everyone.
What Gluten watches for: oats that aren’t certified gluten-free, granola, malt in cereal, and flour in pancake and muffin mixes.

Gluten-free breakfast cooking questions
What can I eat for a gluten-free breakfast?
Eggs, yogurt, fruit, smoothies, potatoes, corn tortillas, certified gluten-free oats, and pancakes or muffins made with a gluten-free flour blend.
Are oats gluten-free?
Oats have no gluten of their own, but most are grown and milled next to wheat. Buy oats labelled certified gluten-free, and leave them out for anyone who reacts to oats too.
