Sometimes when you eliminate allergens, certain meals become more difficult.

Breakfast can be a tough meal when you’re on a limited diet. The choices can seem very limited. Maybe there’s a cold cereal or granola bar that you can eat, or fruit salad or smoothies, but it’s easy to get stuck in a breakfast rut.

We have a lot of standard breakfasts that we repeat around here, like pancakes, quinoa porridge, and even gluten free vegan donuts. You might be surprised how easy it is to make tasty breakfast items that are free of dairy, eggs, nuts, and gluten.

It’s very possible to make amazing recipes that your family will enjoy! You just need to stock your pantry with the right ingredients.

This baked oatmeal is a great solution to the breakfast problem.

It’s allergy friendly, it’s delicious, and it’s so easy! You can put it together the night before – then when you wake up, just pop it in the oven while you get ready for the day. Once you’re ready, the oatmeal will be, too!

Are oats gluten free?

If you are on a gluten free diet, you do need to make sure that you buy certified gluten free oats. While oats are naturally gluten free, they are often processed in facilities with wheat, and can become cross-contaminated with gluten. Make sure the label says “certified gluten free.” One brand to try is GF Harvest, which can be found on Amazon.

Can I leave out the ground flax seed?

If you have seed allergies, feel free to leave out the flax seed. It does help hold the oatmeal together, but it’s not totally necessary. It might be a little more crumbly without it, but it’s not a big deal! You can also substitute 3 Tablespoons of applesauce instead if you like.

Ideas for substitutions:

• If you can’t have coconut, leave it out and substitute more oats instead.
• Not a blueberry fan? Use any berry you like!
• If you would rather not use banana, you can use cut up peaches or apples if you prefer.

Recipe Notes

Store leftover oatmeal in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 5 days.

I have never tried freezing this, but if you freeze individual portions and wrap them well, they should stay fresh for about 3 months.
