ISO dairy-free, egg-free, oat-free breakfast ideas

[homemademom]

So, my newest nursling has surprised me (and not in a good way) by being sensitive to most of what I would eat for breakfast (well, I expected the dairy sensitivity, but not the others). Please help me figure out what to eat that has some staying power, in terms of fiber and protein.  Thank you!!!

Sorry about your LO's sensitivities. I know how tough that is! Here are a couple ideas for you:

-Breakfast smoothie. I make mine with So Delicious coconut milk, a scoop of coconut cream (the thick part from canned coconut milk), a scoop of almond butter, a smidge of vanilla, and frozen fruit. Since it has plenty of fat and protein, it's usually enough to keep me going until lunchtime.

-Fried breakfast potatoes. I saute minced onion and red bell pepper in plenty of olive oil, then add cubed baked potatoes (I "bake" them in the microwave, so it's fast and easy). Salt and pepper to taste. If you need additional protein, you could have a bit of sausage or bacon.

I can't have those things for breakfast either. I love nut butters off the spoon, some leftover meat, and my newest favorite- soup.

Thanks everyone. Lately, I've been having a lot of bacon and fruit. Fortunately, I can have wheat, but since I'm also trying to lose weight, I don't want to overdo the breads and wraps.

Creamy buckwheat cereal, creamy rice cereal, quinoa flakes. You can also make the quinoa flakes and some nuts into granola, and have that with some coconut milk yogurt. We use Jones sausage (frozen, precooked) for a quick protein with other things for breakfast. We also do pancakes/waffles, make extra on the weekend, then have them in the freezer to pop in the toaster for a quick breakfast. Dosa is something my son loves to eat for breakfast too. But then, he likes curried chickpeas for breakfast too!

Thank you! I think I've gotten some buckwheat in my pantry right now. I might go toss that in the crockpot for breakfast :)

Here's a response from a thread I previously started:

Quick Quinoa Breakfast with Warm Cinnamon Apples

Try making a double batch of the apples (use a larger pan) and save some in the fridge for the next few breakfasts. You can also add fresh or frozen cranberries to the apples or dried fruit such as raisins or currants. Try using other fruit in place of the apples such as fresh or frozen peaches or plums. We make large pots of quinoa but you can make a small pot like I do in this recipe.

How to Make a Pot of Quinoa:

1 cup quinoa

1 3/4 cups water

pinch sea salt

Rinse and drain the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer to remove the bitter saponin coating. Place rinsed quinoa in a small pot and add water and salt. Cover and bring to a boil, then turn heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.

Cinnamon Apple Topping:.

1 to 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil

3 apples (I used Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and sliced thin

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup water or apple juice

2 to 3 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

pinch sea salt

Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add coconut oil. Once the oil is melted add your apples and saute far a few minutes, stirring frequently. Then add the honey, water, spices and salt. Stir and let simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until apples are cooked as desired.

Top each bowl of quinoa with apples and chopped or ground nuts.

Other Ideas for a Healthy Gluten-Free Breakfast:

·                  A bowl of cooked quinoa and cooked lentils topped with a sprinkling of Herbamare. Sliced apples on the side. (our kids love this - it is a favorite)

·                  Finely diced potatoes sauteed with chopped onions and cumin then rolled in a rice tortilla with black beans and salsa.

·                  Leftover cooked rice and cooked garbanzo beans topped with a little Herbamare, green smoothie on the side.

·                  Sweet Rice Cereal (recipe in our cookbook) topped with pure Grade B maple syrup and chopped nuts.

·                  Buckwheat Pancakes (recipe in our cookbook) topped with fresh fruit and pure Grade B maple syrup.

·                  Teff Breakfast Muffin with a tall glass of Green Smoothie.

These are just a few ideas that don't involve gluten, dairy, eggs, corn, or soy, some of the top foods that can elicit a host of health-related issues.

I am vegan so I do eat oats but no dairy/eggs. Tofu scramble like scrambled eggs but w/ tofu, add whatever veggies seasonings, etc you'd like.  You can also make tofu omelets and fritattas- Vegan Brunch is a great cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz with a lot of ideas.  Polenta with pecans and maple syrup.

Everything sounds so delicious! Do you have a lot of time in the morning? I find Breakfast Smoothies are the best solution. Recipes are very flexible, and I include Ground Flax Seeds for fibre, and Nut Butter(s) for protein. (Rice milk, Bananas, and Frozen Berries are the base). Homemade Granola is also simple to make (and great for afternoon snacking too)! Kamut Flakes are a great alternative to Rolled Oats! I borrow from several different recipes. I tend to include a lot of Nuts and Seeds, because I'm a big fan of protein in the morning. I eat Granola with Rice Milk, but I believe there are Vegan Yogurts (Soy-based) that might work too!

Miso soup! Nice and nourshing and warming, like oatmeal is...

[sunnygir1]

Ditto, soup.  I love bean soup for breakfast, beans and tortillas (avocado, lettuce, hot sauce, etc.), miso soup and rice, rice and steamed vegetables, rice or polenta with sauteed mushrooms and onions, lots of different kind of lunch and dinner leftovers are awesome for breakfast!  Quinoa with a big glug of olive oil and some greens, like cooked kale.  Mmm, this thread is inspiring me to mix up the breakfast menu (unfortunately my kids don't like half this stuff).
