20 Paleo Breakfast Recipes That Aren’t Eggs
When you’re following a Paleo diet, your breakfast choices might feel limited to just eggs and bacon. Frittatas, scrambled eggs and Paleo Benedict might be your go-tos, but it can all grow tiring after a while. Luckily, there are plenty of Paleo-friendly foods that can be turned into your old breakfast favorites, like banana bread, muffins and even waffles. All it takes is a little imagination to whip up a delicious breakfast that doesn’t star eggs. Just be warned: These 20 recipes are so good, you might want to make one as breakfast for dinner too.
1. Paleo Blueberry Muffins: Cassava flour is the secret to these gluten-free, paleo-compliant muffins. (via Brit + Co)
2. Grain Free French Toast: Grain-free banana bread is the base for this paleo French toast. Don’t forget a generous topping of chocolate hazelnut spread, a diet-compliant one, of course. (via Eat What You Love: Everyday Comfort Food You Crave, photo via Aubrie Prick)
3. Instant Pot Carnitas: Instead of your usual breakfast meat, serve yourself a portion of pressure cooker carnitas instead (just skip the milk when you make the recipe to keep it paleo). Eat alone, or folded into your favorite grain-free tortillas. (via Brit + Co)
4. Cassava Flour Brownies: Made with cassava flour and sweetened with maple syrup, we see no reason why these healthy brownies couldn’t be eaten alongside your morning coffee. (via Brit + Co)
5. Protein Shake Popsicles: On hot summer days, skip turning on the stove and reach for a protein shake popsicle instead. Use your favorite paleo protein powder and get powered up. (via Brit + Co)
6. Double Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins: Nothing wakes you up like the smell of a fresh batch of double chocolate banana muffins coming fresh out of the oven. Especially when they’re paleo-compliant too. (via The Roasted Root)
