Living gluten-free has really gotten me into experimenting in the kitchen. Where I was usually the yoghurt and granola for breakfast type, I recently brought some variety into my breakfast routine with these 2 easy gluten-free recipes. A little heads up they are no groundbreaking new recipes but they involve very few ingredients and only take about 5 minutes and that’s what we’re looking for in our busy morning routines, right?
Banana & cinnamon oatmeal
The first breakfast option is a simple banana and cinnamon oatmeal, which is perfect for those crisp fall mornings. You can whip it up in about 5 minutes and it is very filling so snacking between breakfast and lunch is no longer a necessity.
For 1 portion you will need:
- 1 banana
- 100 gram (or half a cup) of gluten-free rolled oats
- 125 ml almond or regular milk
- 125 ml water
- A pinch of cinnamon
- Topping of your choice (I use almond flakes & cacao nibs)
Let’s start cooking:
- Start by pouring the rolled oats, water and your choice of milk in a small pan and put it on medium heat on the stove.
- Cut up the banana in slices and add half to the pan.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon and your oatmeal will be done and more solid in about 5 minutes. Remember to stir regularly.
- Pour the oatmeal into a bowl and decorate it with the remainder of the banana and your topping of choice. I usually add almond flakes and cacao nibs, for some texture and chocolate flavor.
- Your gluten-free breakfast is served.
Banana & egg pancakes
This banana & egg pancake recipe is even easier than the first one. It is however my go to recipe for when I have hardly any food in the house.
For 3 small pancakes you need:
- 1 banana
- 1 egg
- Cinnamon or chocolate paste as topping.
Let’s start cooking:
- Start by cutting up your banana into thin slices.
- Mix half the banana slices with the egg (in the blender or by hand) until you have a smooth batter.
- Now all you have to do is bake you pancakes.
- I decorate mine with the remainder of the banana and cinnamon.
I hope you enjoy these very simple gluten-free breakfast ideas. If you have any gluten-free recipes you would like me to try, please send them to me on Instagram. I would love to try them.
