Dishes prepared for the morning meal that exclude common cereal grains such as wheat, rice, oats, corn, barley, rye, and their derivatives. These recipes often incorporate alternatives like nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, and non-grain flours to provide sustenance and flavor. An example is a baked avocado with egg, a coconut flour pancake, or a smoothie made with berries and almond milk.
Exclusion of grains can be beneficial for individuals with sensitivities or allergies to gluten or those following specific dietary approaches such as the paleo or ketogenic diets. Historically, eliminating grains was a necessity in regions where grains were scarce or unavailable. The potential benefits include improved digestion, reduced inflammation, and better blood sugar control, although individual results may vary.
