Gluten is a composite protein which is found in certain foods like wheat and barley. This makes it difficult for people who are gluten intolerant or gluten sensitive incorporate these ingredients in their recipes. But there are substitutes which can be used to make the most important meal of the day without compromising its taste. Here are some of the classic breakfast and brunch dishes which can be made gluten free using these simple diet substitutes, for kids and adults. Gluten and grain free muffins: Made with bananas and eggs, nut butter, vanilla, apple cider vinegar and raw honey, blended together in a food processor to make a nice smooth batter to be baked at 400 degrees. Unlike regular muffins made with white flour which has gluten, the bananas act as the base substitute for the batter. Baked for about 15 to 20 minutes and served hot with the toppings of your choice. Gluten free waffles: Waffles are made with flour as the base ingredient which is a strict no-no for people with gluten intolerance. A substitute in the form of gluten free flour blend can be used instead of traditional flour to make the classic waffle recipe, served with maple syrup.

Breakfast is regarded as the most important meal of the day. Recipes range from a variety of bagels to fresh fruit, cold cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, donuts and even leftover pizza among the top foods consumed daily. Most recipes are quick and easy to make requiring minimum efforts. Egg is the all-time favorite, be it scrambled, fried, boiled or just your hale hearty omelette. Here is a list of egg breakfast recipes which can be made in a matter of minutes. Scrambled eggs: Perhaps the easiest to make, a couple of jumbo eggs whipped nicely with little milk, salt and pepper to taste finally sautéed and tossed in butter. At the most you will be investing about five minutes to make this simple recipe, to be served with toast. Eggs in a mug: Tired of scrambling eggs in a pan, try a cup. With cheese added to the classic recipe, just whip all the ingredients in a cup and put in the microwave for about 40 seconds and stir once to form the scramble and then leave it for over half a minute. No messy pans and bowls to clean after enjoying a hearty breakfast, easy to make in a couple of minutes.
