1. Eggs in Clouds
Egg whites, cheese, and bacon form cute little nests for perfect, soft yolks. Recipehere.
2. Instant Cinnamon “Oatmeal”
This “oatmeal” is grain-free and made from a mixture of chia seeds, flax seeds, and coconut. Not an exact substitute for the real thing, but totally delicious in its own right. Recipe here.
5. Swiss Chard and Ricotta Pie with Sausage Crust
Regular pie crust can’t hold a candle to one made of sausage, IMO. Recipe here.
7. Stuffed Breakfast Bell Peppers
If you think about it, they’re like mini quiches with pepper crusts. Recipe here.
9. Jumbo Chickpea Pancake
It’s like hummus and crepes had a delicious, savory love child. Recipe here.
10. Perfect Scrambled Eggs

Perfectly scrambled eggs are an art. Here’s how.
11. Gluten-Free Cinnamon and Coconut Pancakes
Coconut flour makes for some pretty delicious breakfast ‘cakes. Recipe here.
12. Gluten-Free Five-Ingredient Banana Blender Muffins
It’s probably more accurate to call these lowish-carb, thanks to ripe bananas that make the muffins delicious. But, they’re gluten- and grain-free, and not nearly as high-carb as your average breakfast pastry. Plus, the batter comes together in a blender and requires no bowl or whisk! Recipe here.
13. Egg-Crust Breakfast Pizza with Pepperoni, Olives, Mozzarella, and Tomatoes
FWIW, the olives are optional. Recipe here.
14. Skillet-Fried Eggs with Ground Beef and Kale
Use whatever meat and greens you have on hand to make this fast and easy breakfast. Recipe here.
16. Avocado Green Tea Power Shake
Even creamier than a smoothie made with… well, cream. Recipe here.
18. No-atmeal
1) Grind nuts, seeds, and spices in the food processor.
2) Whisk together almond milk, egg, and a mashed banana to a custardy consistency.
3) Combine nut mixture with custard mixture, mix to combine, then heat or microwave.
You have to be careful not to heat it too much or too quickly (the egg will scramble), but this makes for a really delicious, hearty alternative for anyone who loves hot cereal. Recipe here.
