Waking up can be hard to do, especially if you're living that gluten-free life and missing all the buttery pancakes of your dreams. When you're trying to navigate new ideas to spice up your brunch or breakfast rotation, it's hard to dodge many of the gluten-packed options. But just because you're avoiding gluten doesn't mean you have to lose out on fluffy pancakes, savory breakfast casseroles, and even Mexican classics like migas and chilaquiles verde. Got more nostalgic cravings in the morning? We've even got a gluten-free pop tart recipe that will really take you back.

Some of our favorite gluten-free breakfast recipes also happen to be keto, if you're watching your carbs. With a few swaps you likely already have in your pantry, you'll be whipping up our recipes for loaded cauliflower breakfast bake and coconut flour pancakes in no time.

Gluten-free breakfasts might seem intimidating, but you'll be surprised that some of your favorites are already naturally gluten-free. Our favorite gluten-free breakfast staples? Corn tortillas make ideal breakfast tacos. And obviously, gluten-free oatmeal is the Swiss Army knife behind many of our favorite breakfasts (though do be aware that some oats experience cross-contamination from shared equipment, so make sure they're certified gluten-free if you have Celiac disease). We even love using leftover rice for a savory breakfast fried rice.

A gluten-free brunch staple we can always rely on? Well, mimosas, of course. And vanilla-peach Bellinis. Oh, and Bloody Marys. You see where we're going with this, so go on, be free with these delicious gluten-free recipes that you'll be craving all week long. You just might want them again for dinner.

Buckwheat Pancakes

Breakfast Tostadas

Breakfast meets dinner in this marinara- and mozzarella-topped dish. Fittingly, the Italian word "affogato" means drowned, which explains the marinara topping. It lends this dish a vibe somewhere between a breakfast frittata and pizza, meaning it’s enjoyable for pretty much any meal of the day.

Savory Oatmeal

25 Gluten-Free Breakfasts That'll Have You Practically Jumping Out Of Bed (15)

We know and love classic oatmeal, laced with brown sugar and cinnamon and other sweet toppings, but your next bowl should be this savory version. It’s creamier, bolder in flavor, and a runny egg makes everything better. It’s the breakfast version of risotto and that can never be a bad idea.

Blended Baked Oats

Green Shakshuka

Originating in North Africa and now strongly associated with Israeli cuisine, shakshuka typically involves a sauce of tomatoes and red peppers. Our take on this simmered skillet breakfast spins the color wheel, thanks to roasted tomatillos and Swiss chard, and takes flavor inspiration from Mexico.
