Not a morning person? Looking for quick gluten free breakfast ideas? Sharing some of my favorites, some which include meal prep, and others that are easy grab and go options. Plus tips on on making a muffin parfait to boost your nutrition in the morning.

Gluten Free Breakfast Meal Prep Recipe

My husband is a public school teacher, and during a normal year, we get up at 5 in the morning. I have little time or energy to make anything creative on weekdays. Therefore, a bit of advance meal prep helps make the mornings run smoother. Here are some recipes that will keep your family fueled up.

Premade Gluten Free Breakfast Foods To Keep on Hand

A good breakfast is one that incorporates fat, fiber and protein. This helps you feel full, while keeping blood sugar levels even. (I learned that from Mary Ellen of Milk and Honey Nutrition, who is a registered dietitian.) Create your own breakfast box with a few of these items.

Fresh and Frozen Fruit (Use both in Evolving Table’s Fruit Smoothie recipe.)
Yogurt Cups
Nuts & Nut Butters (and Seed Butters)
String Cheese
Gluten Free Cereal & Granola
Gluten Free Bread and Bagels (I prefer Canyon Bakehouse)
Gluten Free Muffins & Muffin Mixes

Antonina’s Gluten Free Muffins

Let’s be honest. Some mornings we’re looking for something more indulgent than oatmeal or granola. Antonina’s Gluten Free Bakery makes bakery style muffins in your favorite traditional flavors. Their muffin flavors include Lemon Poppyseed, Blueberry, Cinnamon Chip, Chocolate Chip, and Triple Chocolate.

Not only are Antonina’s products gluten free, they’re also free from peanuts and tree nuts. In addition, most of their products are free from soy as well. (The chocolate chips they use contain soy.) All of their products contain dairy and egg.

You can find their muffins at Fresh Thyme stores and other locations. Use their store locator to find them near you. Plus, you can also order directly from their website! (Antonina’s also makes cakes and cupcakes, which can be found at Kroger stores.)

Gluten Free Muffin Breakfast Parfait

Since I can’t tolerate oats, I decided to turn one of the Lemon Poppyseed Muffins into a breakfast parfait. I broke one loaf into three sections. Then I crumbled one third into the bottom of a small mason jar. Next, I placed a few spoonfuls of yogurt on top.

I repeated with another layer of crumbled loaf and yogurt. Finally, I added more crumbled blueberry loaf to the top of the parfait, and a few blueberries. I used lemon yogurt, but you could use any flavor. Plain yogurt would pair great with it too!
