gluten free, oat free, egg free breakfast ideas needed for 6 year old

My 6 year old is gluten free & oat free, doesn't like eggs or any other breakfast meat besides bacon.  I need help with breakfast ideas!  I feel like all I can get in her are pancakes, yogurt, chex cereal, and bacon.  Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Thanks!

Peanut butter on apple slices or bananas. Waffles. Hash browns - shredded potato. Have you tried just giving her egg whites -- no yolk? Maybe she would like them. Why does breakfast always have to be traditional breakfast food? How about a PBJ for breakfast or a BLT? How about tacos or burritos?

Why not leftovers from dinner?  Grilled cheese?  I like to take cold cuts and lay them on a plate, then sprinkle with some cheese, microwave to melt, roll up and eat.  Or some plain chicken on a corn tortilla with cheese, red pepper ( or tomato if she likes) microwave and fold up. PB on crackers.  

but , lots of people eat the same breakfast every single day.  So maybe she is OK?

Quinoa or amaranth sprinkled with nuts, raisins & a bit of sugar; you could even crumble bacon on top. Grits.

Pocono cream of buckwheat.

My DD likes a less traditional breakfast sometimes such as gluten-free ravioli or perogies.  She also loves Rudy's gluten-free cheese bread.  gluten-free crackers or matzo with peanut butter, cream cheese or Nutella are also popular.  And for a real treat, there's always Lucky Charms which are now gluten-free.

I would be careful with  Cheerios and Lucky Charms if the child has Celiac.  GM doesn't have a very good record of actually testing to see if the mechanical sorting eliminated the wheat/ gluten.  Perhaps they will be more consitant in the future as I believe I have heard that the FDA was investigating.

I agree!

What about a smoothie?  You can add nut butters or protein powder.  Avocado, coconut milk,  spinach, carrots, and cooked sweet potato can be added without even noticing they are in there to amp up calories and nutrients.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions!  I think I felt at a loss when we had to cut oats- we used to do cheerios and oatmeal regularly and now those are out.  She has a sensitivity to oats as well as wheat/barley/rye.  :(

  • If she misses the hot cereal then try quinoa or amaranth as an alternative to oatmeal

We make a bowl if brown rice, kinda like oats.  I cook up a big pot of short grain brown rice...long grain isn't as good for breakfast, in my opinion...but then I keep the cooked brown rice if the fridge.  In the mornings, I put a serving of brown rice into a saucepan with a little milk sub ( we use watered down canned coconut milk, but we've used other milk substitutes in the past...or people who can tolerate real milk could use that), brown sugar and cinnamon, or else maple syrup, honey, etc., just to taste, then we add raisins, diced apples, blueberries, or whatever...sometimes I add walnuts, etc..  Eat it in a bowl like oats...tastes pretty good for breakfast.

another pancake recipe you may want to try that is really easy and fluffy is:

mix 1,5 cup cooked rice, 1 ripe banana, 2 eggs and some cinnamon in a food processor or with any other tool that will blend the rice. Then make really small pancakes from it so they are easy to turn.

The result is the easiest fluffiest sweetest pancakes ever! 

However, I would not recommend eating these pancakes too often, eating more than 3 eggs per week is not healthy. 
Let me know if you try this recipe :)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
