I’ve been on my elimination diet for over a week now, and I (surprisingly) haven’t had any major cravings. But I’ve been feeling like I need a breakfast change up.
I’ve been struggling with breakfast because I can’t have gluten or eggs! I eat oatmeal for breakfast five or six days a week, so I bought gluten-free oats to help get me through my three-week elimination diet.
To make my mornings move a bit quicker, I made this baked oatmeal. It’s perfect because I threw the leftovers in the refrigerator and I can just heat up a serving in the morning!

Before I tell you about this recipe, I want to say that I normally don’t make a lot of recipes that are gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, etc. But I’ve eliminated those things from my diet for a short time to see if I have any food sensitivities. So this recipe is perfect for those with food allergies or even if you just want a quick and healthy breakfast on workdays.
This oatmeal isn’t as sweet as I usually like it, but because I’ve been off sugar for over a week my sugar cravings have diminished and I was ok with a not-so-sweet oatmeal. The apples, banana and stevia add a bit of sweetness, but you can add honey or pure maple syrup if you want a sweeter oatmeal.
I topped my oatmeal with some sunflower seed butter and goji berries. Top your oatmeal with your fave toppings!
