I have 3 new breakfast recipefavorites, and they all happen to be gluten free. They’re so delicious they’ll make you want to jump right out of bed! These gluten free vegan breakfast recipes are good for you, and made with cleanfiber-rich ingredients to keep you full for hours. If you’ve ever struggled with finding gluten free vegan breakfast ideas, you’ve come to the right place. All three of these recipes are a great jumping off point for exploring more breakfast options that don’t use animal products or gluten.
On most days for breakfast I will have a simple bowl of oatmeal or teff porridge topped with dates, nuts, and fresh fruit. But sometimes I want something fancier or even savory, yet still energizing. I’ve long relegated meals with processed flour and sugar to once or twice a yearindulgences. A true treat for me is a breakfast that tastes amazing, looks lovely, and makes me feel really good. Processed ingredients usually leave me hungry an hour after eating, or cause uncomfortable blood-sugar swings. No thank you. I’ll take fluffy pancakes made with almond flour and banana any day.
Gluten Free Recipes
As you know, I am not gluten free, butI don’t go out of my way to consume products that contain it. Instead, I focus on eating a whole food vegan diet, and if something happens to contain gluten I prefer it in its most wholesome form: farro grains, freekeh, sourdough bread, whole spelt flour, etc. That said, I believe a gluten free vegan breakfast can be equally as delicious and filling as gluten heavy recipes. The key is to stick to whole foods as much as possible. For most people the processing might be thereal problem, not the gluten.
Whether or not you have a gluten intolerance, these recipes are for you. It’s hard for me to say which one I love the best. If I’m craving a sweet breakfast I’ll take the Almond Flour Pancakes. They’re full of fiber, sweetened with coconut sugar and banana, and feature mineral rich teff flour. On a savory day I crave the Sweet Potato Breakfast Burrito. It’s filled with a smoky mix of sweet potatoes, spinach, gluten free vegan sausage, and black beans.When I’m running out of the door early, the creamy nutrient-dense Chocolate Spinach smoothie is the way to go! 🙌🏾
Vegan Gluten Free Pancakes | Almond Flour Pancakes
If you do not have teff flour you can sub that for one of the following gluten free flours: buckwheat flour, brown rice flour, coconut flour, gf oat flour, or a gluten free vegan flour blend. I love teff flour because it is high in protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamins. It is the flour used to make Ethiopian Injera bread 🙂 I buy my almond flour from teff flour online at Thrive Market, and other gluten free grains mentioned too.

Chocolate Spinach Smoothie | Gluten Free Vegan Breakfast
I buy my cacao powder and cacao nibs from Thrive Market. As you see in the photo and video, this smoothie is pretty green. To hide the spinach more, use less of it 😉 This smoothie is also great as a dessert or sweet snack made with or without the spinach. For a morning pick me up, add some cold coffee or coffee beans to the blend.
