When you’re following a Paleo diet, your breakfast choices might feel limited to just eggs and bacon. Frittatas, scrambled eggs and Paleo Benedict might be your go-tos, but it can all grow tiring after a while. Luckily, there are plenty of Paleo-friendly foods that can be turned into your old breakfast favorites, like banana bread, muffins and even waffles. All it takes is a little imagination to whip up a delicious breakfast that doesn’t star eggs. Just be warned: These 20 recipes are so good, you might want to make one as breakfast for dinner too.

1. Paleo Blueberry Muffins: Cassava flour is the secret to these gluten-free, paleo-compliant muffins. (via Brit + Co)

2. Grain Free French Toast: Grain-free banana bread is the base for this paleo French toast. Don’t forget a generous topping of chocolate hazelnut spread, a diet-compliant one, of course. (via Eat What You Love: Everyday Comfort Food You Crave, photo via Aubrie Prick)

3. Instant Pot Carnitas: Instead of your usual breakfast meat, serve yourself a portion of pressure cooker carnitas instead (just skip the milk when you make the recipe to keep it paleo). Eat alone, or folded into your favorite grain-free tortillas. (via Brit + Co)

4. Cassava Flour Brownies: Made with cassava flour and sweetened with maple syrup, we see no reason why these healthy brownies couldn’t be eaten alongside your morning coffee. (via Brit + Co)

5. Protein Shake Popsicles: On hot summer days, skip turning on the stove and reach for a protein shake popsicle instead. Use your favorite paleo protein powder and get powered up. (via Brit + Co)

6. Double Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins: Nothing wakes you up like the smell of a fresh batch of double chocolate banana muffins coming fresh out of the oven. Especially when they’re paleo-compliant too. (via The Roasted Root)

7. Make-Ahead Freezer Paleo Blueberry Muffins: If you have a hard time getting going in the mornings, make these paleo blueberry muffins ahead of time. Freeze them, then grab one, microwave it for a few seconds, and be on your way, breakfast in hand. (via Life Made Sweeter)

8. Paleo, Vegan, Grain-Free Granola: Crunchy, nutty grain-free granola is paleo and vegan, so you can please all of the picky eaters in your household with just one recipe. (via Making Thyme For Health)

9. Paleo Porridge With Caramelized Banana: How do you make a porridge without grain? A simple blend of nuts and coconut milk does the trick. Top with caramelized bananas if you really want to get fancy. (via Downshiftology)

10. Paleo Strawberry Banana Cereal Bars: Loaded with protein and fiber, these bars will give you a nutritious start to your morning. (via Physical Kitchness)

11. Chocolate Chip Paleo Vegan Banana Bread: Anytime chocolate, paleo, and breakfast intersect, it means we’re happy diners. This dense bread has a sweet bite, but it’s nourishing enough to keep you fueled until lunch time. (via The Roasted Root)

12. Stuffed Sweet Potato Burritos: Craving breakfast burritos but sworn off tortillas? Hollow out a sweet potato and fill that with your burrito ingredients instead. This is a hearty morning meal that can get you through your morning workout and beyond. (via Physical Kitchness)

13. Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake: Set aside some time to cook this succulent sausage tray bake on Sunday. Portion it out, and you have easy heat-and-eat paleo breakfasts for the week. (via Sweet Peas and Saffron)

14. Paleo Blueberry Lemon Bread: We love the combination of blueberry and lemon. Sunny citrus and bright berry flavors swirl throughout this paleo loaf, putting a spring in your step as you head out the door. (via Smile Sandwich)

15. Keto Paleo Smoothie Bowls: Instead of being loaded with sugar, these paleo smoothie bowls are loaded with protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Take a bite — you’d never guess there was cauliflower hiding in your bowl. (via Life Made Sweeter)

16. Paleo Sweet Potato Hash: If you’re not feeling the eggs, pecans can add protein to your breakfast. Toss them in a skillet with sautéed sweet potatoes, onions, and Brussels sprouts, where they’ll also lend a yummy crunch. (via Eating Bird Food)

17. Paleo Strawberry Chia Pudding: Dairy is off-limits for paleo diners, which can be a hard adjustment for yogurt lovers. Chia pudding, a coconut-based, creamy, cool start to your morning, can help fill the gap. (via Joyful Healthy Eats)

18. Avocado Mango Salad: Some fruit salads can taste overwhelmingly sweet. Avoid that pitfall by pairing one sweet and tangy fruit, like mango, with creamy slices of avocado. A sprinkle of salt and pepper completes the balance. (via Sidewalk Shoes)

19. Paleo Peanut Butter Oatmeal: The combination of unsweetened coconut, hemp hearts, and coconut flour tastes surprisingly like real oatmeal, but it’s totally grain free. (via Life Made Sweeter)

20. Paleo Banana Bread Waffles: Waffles while paleo? You’d better believe it. They’re made with a convenient paleo baking flour mix, so you can spend less time fussing with your measuring cups and more time chowing down. (via Hummingbird High)
