Why You Need Ideas for Egg Free Breakfasts
There are plenty of reasons you might want an egg free breakfast.
To save money – Twice in the last few years egg prices have gotten out of control. While they are still a budget protein compared to some foods, they aren’t the cheapest. You can save money by reducing your egg consumption.
To accommodate all kinds of eaters – Due to allergies or personal preferences, some people opt out of eggs all the time. If you’ve got an arsenal of great breakfast recipes without eggs, you’ll be set to serve any eater.
To avoid going to the store – Let’s face it. Sometimes you just don’t want to make another trip to the store. Bookmark this post so you’ve got instant inspiration without having to find your keys. Or get dressed.
Tips for Baking Egg Free
My kids have dealt with food allergies and food ethics over the years, so I’ve had a fair amount of practice baking without eggs. If a recipe only calls for 1 to 2 eggs, you can easily use Flaxseed Meal as an Egg Substitute.
We’ve done this for years and it’s worked incredibly well. Scroll down for some yummy recipes.
Egg Free Breakfast Proteins
A lot of people wonder how to get protein without eggs. An egg is only 5 grams of protein, so it’s not like it’s a huge source to draw from. You can actually get more protein from breakfast sausage, cottage cheese, whey protein powder, and Greek yogurt.
I typically incorporate one or more of these protein sources into our egg free breakfasts if they aren’t already included in the recipe.
- Serve Greek yogurt with oatmeal or granola.
- Add protein powder to most baking recipes. I usually sub ½ cup whey protein for ½ cup flour in the recipe.
- Cook breakfast sausage or ham to serve on the side.
