Gluten-Free Vegan Breakfast: Safety Check

Red Flags for Hidden Gluten in Breakfast Foods

🚩 Oatmeal (unless certified GF—oats are often cross-contaminated)
🚩 Plant-based meats (some contain wheat gluten or barley malt)
🚩 Packaged pancake mixes (many contain wheat flour)

Must-Have GF Vegan Breakfast Staples

✔ Flours: Buckwheat, almond, certified GF oat flour
✔ Binders: Chia seeds, flax eggs, aquafaba
✔ Dairy Alternatives: Coconut yogurt, almond milk (check for barley-derived vitamins)

Cross-Contamination Prevention

✔ Use dedicated toasters and pans for GF cooking
✔ Store GF flours separately from wheat flour
