Rich eggs Benedict, crisp waffles, juicy fruit salad and coffee flowing like the Mississippi are the key to opening your eyes with joy in the morning. And these joys should not be off the menu if you or a beloved breakfast-mate keep gluten-free. Here, we’ve rounded up breakfast classics that scratch all the itches, with no gluten in sight (but always check the labels on your ingredients if you are unsure!). So, get that coffee brewing, grab the paper, and enjoy.

The perfect recipe to get you started? This hearty country omelet. Chunks of potato and bacon and a shower of fresh chives make for an unbeatable breakfast, but also a darn good last-minute lunch or dinner. This kind of simplicity channels the spirit of the French countryside, with its spare, elemental cooking.

Oats themselves are naturally gluten-free. However, since they are usually grown side by side with wheat, transported in the same truck as wheat and manufactured on the same production lines as wheat, the cross-contamination of typical oats make them not gluten-free. However, the good news is that companies like Bob's Red Mill now sell certified gluten-free oats. Oatmeal, you're back!

This gluten-free pastry flour is formulated especially for those baked goods you want to have the lightest, flakiest texture. If you don't have a doughnut cutter, you can use an empty tin can.
