Dairy Gluten Sugar Free Breakfast Recipe Ideas
Lowering your sugar intake and eating foods that fight inflammation can really contribute to improving your overall health.
So put down those store bought gluten free baked goods because they will always make you overeat. Here are four filling gluten free, dairy free and sugar free savory breakfast ideas to try:
1. Savory Gluten & Dairy Free Avocado Toast With Sardines

This is one of my favorite sugar free savory breakfast recipe that is really quick to make.
This savory breakfast it’s really satisfying for those days when you have salty cravings. The rich fatty flavor and texture of this avocado toast helps cut down on the fishy notes of the sardine, turning this simple gluten free dairy free breakfast into something very delicious and filling!
For this I used a gluten free sourdough bread bun that I previously made. I keep them in the freezer and in the morning, I just throw a few buns in the toaster, slice or mush some avocado, and top them with caned wild caught sardines.
I like those sardines because the fish is cleaned and deboned, they’re in olive oil, not soy, plus they’re wild caught, not farmed. Farmed fish are usually genetically modified and fed with chemicals.
The best part about sardines is that they are also one of the most nutritious fishes in the sea. They have one of the most concentrated sources of omega-3 fatty acids plus they’re a great source of vitamin D, and vitamin B12.
2. Gluten Free Dairy Free Savory Breakfast Casserole

I know people who are constantly on the hunt of new sugar free savory breakfast ideas rather than sweet, so this is a great option especially if you’re looking for gluten free dairy free breakfast ideas.
This meatless skillet casserole is made with cabbage instead of traditional potatoes. It has a lot of fibre, healthy fats, less carbs and makes a delicious savory breakfast idea if you are sensitive to nightshades.
The great part about making this savory breakfast casserole is that everything can be done in one pan. Just start cooking everything on the stove top, and then finish it off as a baked casserole.
Cooking it in a ovenproof ceramic skillet, saves on clean up by allowing transition from stove-top to oven in one pan. This skillet casserole is also a great make ahead sugar free breakfast, you can store slices in airtight containers for a convenient gluten and dairy free breakfast on the go!
Savory Breakfast Ideas Made With Gluten Free Tortillas
Having a tortilla based breakfast is not a problem anymore. These soft gluten free vegan tortillas are flexible enough to be used for wraps and burritos. They make a healthy, savory gluten free breakfast ready to be packed in your lunch box as well.

3. Gluten Free Dairy Free Egg Free Savory Breakfast Burrito
You can easily prep elements of this savory breakfast idea ahead of time making it a cinch to pull together for an easy weekday breakfast or lunch!

Instead of the regular bean and potato vegan burrito I incorporated some healthy complex carbs, a probiotic rich ingredient (sauerkraut), nutrient rich sprouts and a delicious avocado sauce that provides moisture and enhances all those flavors.
For an extra kick I added this organic sugar free ketchup – it has clean ingredients, absolutely no sugar and it comes in a glass bottle.
4. Gluten Free Dairy Free Breakfast Tortilla Roll Ups With Salmon

This makes a delicious, gluten and dairy free savory breakfast on the go or you can cut them into pinwheels and serve them as appetizers. Once you have the sauce and tortillas ready it only takes a few minutes to assemble.
These gluten and dairy free breakfast tortilla roll ups have my homemade gluten free tortillas as a base, a creamy dairy free avocado sauce, some greens and wild caught smoked salmon. It gives a smoky, tangy, savory, and refreshing flavor!
