4 Amazing Grain-Free Breakfasts

It’s time for some breakfast inspiration! All of these breakfast ideas are gluten-free, grain-free and absolutely delicious. Cutting out grains can be extremely beneficial to your health. Grains contain compounds called phytates that block the absorption of minerals, so eliminating grains is a simple way to boost your health.

American breakfasts are so often based on grains, but trust us, these 4 breakfast ideas are so good that you won’t miss the bread.

2. Banana Almond Butter Pancakes

Making these Banana Egg Almond Butter Pancakes! They are my go-to for a protein-packed breakfast when I have bananas sitting around that need to be used up. Plus my kids love them! 2 ripe bananas 5 eggs 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vanilla 2-3 heaping tablespoons almond butter coconut oil/butter for cooking Mash the bananas with a fork until they resemble baby food. Whisk in the eggs, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Spoon the almond butter into the mixture and gently swirl it in, not mixing all the way. Heat a teaspoon or so of coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is heated, reduce the heat to medium. Scoop out 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the pancake is set before flipping. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. (These pancakes cook at a lower temperature and for a longer time than regular pancakes because of the eggs.) Serve topped with bananas, berries, or maple syrup. Enjoy!

No toast? No problem. Grilled portobello mushroom to the rescue 🙂

4. Southwestern Breakfast Skillet

My “Southwestern Breakfast Skillet” has made its way to the blog! I will link to the recipe in my bio.??? I used sweet potatoes, chicken apple sausage, bell pepper, onion, & a little spinach to make the “hash” on bottom- then cracked in some eggs to up the protein factor & make it that much prettier! ? This recipe is Whole30 compliant & can easily be made eggless. Enjoy!
