Breakfast Ideas for Spoonies

Here, you’ll find my favourite gluten-free breakfast ideas for Spoonies: from five-minute breakfasts and grab-and-go options to simple breakfasts you can assemble from ingredients you already have at home. I’ve also included some make-ahead recipes you can prepare when you have a few spoons to spare, so future you will have less breakfast stress.

Every Spoonie Deserves to Eat Well

Some breakfast options are listed more than once. That’s intentional. 

A muesli parfait, for example, is both a quick breakfast and a fantastic make-ahead option. A hummus wrap can be either a build-your-own breakfast, or grab-and-go (if prepared in advance—which also makes it a make-ahead breakfast). 

I purposely grouped recipes based on how they can help with different kinds of mornings. Let’s start with the breakfasts I eat most mornings: the quick and easy ones.

Quick Gluten-Free Vegan Breakfast Ideas

These are the breakfasts I fall back on most days. Fast, easy, and low-fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten-Free Vegan Breakfasts

What is a good gluten-free vegan breakfast?

A good gluten-free vegan breakfast needs to be filling, healthy, and easy enough that you’ll actually eat it. A muesli parfait, a smoothie, a grab-and-go hummus wrap, or a make-ahead breakfast like date balls or Dutch pancakes are just a few options.

What are some quick gluten-free vegan breakfast ideas?

A muesli parfait, yoghurt with gluten-free muesli, a smoothie, or e.g., a Dutch vlaflip take just a few minutes to prepare. Date balls, chickpea-cherry brownies, or a hummus wrap are great grab-and-go options if you’ve done some prep ‌ahead.

Can you make gluten-free vegan breakfasts ahead of time?

Absolutely. Date balls, chickpea-cherry brownies, Dutch pancakes, muesli parfaits, and tiramisu-style cheesecake cups can all be prepared in advance. You can also make a batch of hummus to use in wraps, with breadsticks, or as part of a breakfast bento box.

What can I eat for breakfast when I have low energy?

I like to keep some grab-and-go breakfasts in the fridge for low-energy mornings. Muesli parfaits, date balls, or e.g., wraps filled with hummus and vegetables. Lacking that, I typically fall back on a simple bowl of yoghurt with muesli.

How can I add more protein to a gluten-free vegan breakfast?

Add a spoonful of tahini to your yoghurt and/or sprinkle with some hemp seeds. Also, most of the recipes I link to in this post are already protein-rich—even the Dutch pancakes.
