5 gluten-free breakfast ideas you’re going to love

You may find it difficult to find breakfast options that are gluten-free, varied and appetising. But don’t worry, in this article, we offer you some gluten-free ideas, both sweet and savoury, with easy and delicious recipes that will give you energy and nutrients to start your day:

Gluten-free waffles

Waffles are a very popular and delicious sweet, which can be served with fruit, chocolate, cream, jam and many other toppings. They are also very easy to make at home, all you need is a waffle iron and a few basic ingredients. Here is a recipe that we have already posted on our recipe blog that @azarfelipe prepared.

Ingredients (for 5/6 waffles):

Preparation:

  1. Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar and vanilla essence until you have a homogeneous mixture.
  2. Add the eggs and beat until well blended, add the vegetable drink and do the same.
  3. Next, add the flours and the yeast to the mixture, and beat very well.
  4. Leave to stand for a few minutes and put in the waffle iron.

Quinoa porridge:

Porridge has become very popular recently. It is a nutritious, filling and very healthy breakfast. Porridge is traditionally made with oat flakes, but we will turn it into a gluten-free breakfast by replacing it with quinoa, and you can also accompany it with any topping you fancy (fruit, honey, jams, homemade granola, cocoa, etc.). Quinoa is a gluten-free pseudocereal that has a high nutritional value, as it contains protein, fibre, minerals and antioxidants.

Ingredients:

  • 40 g dry quinoa (3 tablespoons).
  • 1 glass of vegetable milk (your choice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (can also be cinnamon)

Preparation:

  1. Wash the quinoa in cold water and drain it. If you want it to be even more tender, you can leave it in the fridge overnight to soften it.
  2. Drain the quinoa and put it in a saucepan with the milk and vanilla. Boil on medium-low heat for 15 minutes, until the quinoa is cooked and has absorbed the milk (it should have a creamy texture). Don’t forget to stir often so that it doesn’t stick together.
  3. Put the quinoa in your breakfast bowl and add your favourite toppings (fruit, honey, jams, homemade granola, cocoa, etc).
  4. You can keep it in the fridge and eat it cold or hot.
