How on earth are we going to manage quick, easy gluten free breakfasts?

A bowl of fruit, even with some cottage cheese is just not going to be enough to keep anyone going. Especially a pair of always hungry teenagers.

My budget just does not allow to stock gluten free breads, etc. so that’s not even a option.

Eggs, bacon, sausage, ham – all are good sources of protein and will keep you going for longer than the fruit would but they all take a bit more time and thought to have ready on time.

Tonight I’m making a big pot of coconut rice pudding. My thought is to have it ready so that all the kids have to do is heat up a bowl in the morning and they’re all set. Both of my teens dislike rice pudding and it’s not something I make usually. They like the taste (especially if I make it with coconut milk and cinnamon) but they hate the texture. I’m hoping that instead of cold rice pudding as dessert I can convince them that warm rice pudding is almost exactly the same thing as eating warm oatmeal porridge. I’ll let you know tomorow of this ploy works (along with the recipe).

What are your gluten free breakfast favourites?
