Who doesn’t need easy breakfast ideas?
After all, what you have for breakfast is the foundation for your food consumption and energy level for the rest of the day.
But let’s be real—we are all a bit sleepy in the early morning hours. And it’s a lot of work to get everyone dressed and out the door.
Well, fret no more because we’ve pulled together a list of our favorite ZEGO breakfast recipes and no-cook combos that will make breakfast deliciously easy.
So whether you have one hour to prep on Sunday or you are eating on the fly, you can enjoy a ZEGO Café Breakfast any day of the week with our easy breakfast ideas.
The first step is to order a ZEGO Breakfast Café bundle, or select your own favorite flavors of our Muesli and Mix-Ins as well as our Double Protein Oats and Pure Plant Protein on our website. Then jump into these fantastic recipes.
- Overnight Oatmeal
- Baked Oatmeal
- Smoothies
- Protein Balls
- Pancakes and Waffles
- Oatmeal
- Leftover Waffles
- Muffins
- Scones
- Instant Breakfasts
1. Gluten-Free Overnight Oatmeal
Use ZEGO’s Muesli to make delicious gluten-free, nut-free overnight oats. Invest in some pint-sized Ball jars or use a bowl and simply combine our muesli with yogurt or your favorite plant-based milk. We use about 1/2 muesli for 3/4 cup liquid. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. With 2 flavors to choose from, Cinnamon Twist and Apple Cranberry, you have 2 mornings taken care of in about 15 minutes for a family of 4. This is a fun job for young kids too.
2. Baked Oatmeal
Make one batch of baked oatmeal to use this week and one to freeze for next week.
Use ZEGO’s Double Protein Oats and add in your favorite Mix-Ins flavor (Apple Cinnamon, Cranberry, or Chocolate Chip). We like using a round pan because the slices feel more like a cafe-style breakfast but any shape will do. We have several recipes on our website:
- Pumpkin Banana Baked Oatmeal
- Mix-Ins Berry Oatmeal Bake (with pumpkin and sunflower seeds)
- Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal
- Birthday Cake Gluten-Free Baked Oatmeal
- Gluten-Free Churro Baked Oats
- Gluten-Free Lemon Blueberry Poppyseed Baked Oats
30 minutes for 2 days of breakfast for a family of 4. Make a double recipe and freeze in slices for another week.
3. Smoothie Day
Make Friday smoothie day! Combine 2T ZEGO’s Pure Plant Protein Powder, 2T seed butter, frozen berries, Mix-Ins, 2T Muesli, and water (the Muesli and water replace dairy-free milk you might usually use). You can measure all these out ahead of time into a Ball jar and simply pour it into your blender the day of. Estimated prep time: 10 minutes.
4. Protein Breakfast Balls
With protein balls, be sure to make some extra for snacks between video calls or after school. Pro-tip: These are fun recipes to engage the kids with!
Our Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls tastes like a peanut butter cup but without all the sugar (and without peanuts if you substitute sunflower butter).
If you are looking for a tart chocolatey flavor bomb, you’ve got to try our simple Raspberry Chocolate Protein Balls by @theallergychef.
To bring a little love into your day, make these heart-shaped Chocolate Protein Hearts.
And, don’t miss using our Apple Cranberry Mix-Ins to create scrumptious Cranberry Oat Protein Balls!
5. Make Ahead Gluten-Free Pancakes and Waffles
You may not think of pancakes as an easy healthy breakfast idea. It’s time to rethink.
You see, if you make them right, pancakes can be both healthy and fast. Just use a blender for the batter, two pans for the making, and freeze them so you can toss them in the toaster oven to reheat later.
Insider tip: Sprinkle them with water before you reheat them. It helps keep them from drying out.
We have several delicious pancake recipes on our website. Because oatmeal pancakes may take longer to cook depending on how thick your batter is, use low heat so they don’t burn. Get cooking with one of these delicious gluten-free pancake recipes:
- Banana Bacon Oatmeal Gluten-Free Pancakes
- Double Protein Banana Gluten-Free Pancakes
- Sourdough Gluten-Free Oatmeal Pancakes
- Muesli Sourdough Pancakes
6. Oatmeal
And don’t forget OATMEAL as a go-to easy breakfast!
To make it an easier, make a large batch on Sunday and use it all week with different toppings. Remember that oatmeal needs friends to make sure all the protein is bio-available (it’s low in the amino acid lysine).
So be sure to add a small amount of foods higher in lysine to balance it out. And if you do, your morning bowl will keep you feeling full longer. (Hints: pumpkin seeds, yogurt, nutritional yeast all are high in lycine.)
Here are some easy breakfast ideas for turning ZEGO’s delicious Double Protein Oats into amazingly delicious oatmeal.
- Combine with Cranberry or Apple Cinnamon Mix-Ins
- Add other toppings like berries and nuts/seeds
- Stir in a little yogurt for probiotics
- Add milk or dairy-free milk (though dairy free milk won’t add lysine)
- Add Chocolate Chip Mix-Ins for a treat!
- Make it savory by adding sautéed onion, bacon bits, and 2t nutritional yeast or cheese/cheese substitute – make it simple and savory by just adding 2t nutritional yeast to plain oatmeal (nutritional yeast is high in lysine)
- Having a midnight snack? Try our Sleepytime Oatmeal with pistachios, allspice, cinnamon, and cardamon. It will help you (or your little one) relax and fall asleep faster!
7. Leftover Oatmeal Gluten-Free Waffles
Leftover Savory Oatmeal Waffles? Yup, we said it. It’s perhaps our favorite easy healthy breakfast idea.
You simply use ½ cup of your leftover Double Protein Oats oatmeal, ½ cup tasty dinner leftovers, and an egg (or flax egg) in a mini waffle maker. Be sure to top with complimentary yumminess like guacamole or shredded cheese/cheese substitute. You’ll fall in love! We’ve got a few great recipes on our site like:
- Savory Gluten-Free Waffles with Roots & Radicchio
- Savory Green Gluten-Free Waffles
- Savory Mexican Style Gluten-Free Waffles with Guacamole and Greens
8. Gluten-Free Muffins
Muffins or bread may sound too time-consuming or unhealthy for breakfast. But trust us, you’ll be delighted with all these recipes. And, they freeze and reheat so well–use them anytime you need a quick healthy breakfast idea.
We use our glute-free Double Protein Oats, Mix-Ins, and Muesli for these recipes. Sometimes you’ll grind them into flour. Other times use them whole. Make a batch on Sunday and enjoy them all week long!
- Gluten-Free Cranberry Pecan Protein Muffins
- Pumpkin Muffins
- Sourdough Muesli Muffins
- Mix-Ins Breakfast Bread 3-Ways – Cranberry, Chocolate Chip, Apple Cinnamon
9. Gluten-Free Circle Scones
Why should scones be just a cafe treat? With our recipes and half an hour on the weekend, you’ll have a tasty, flaky, hearty scone any day you want to.
Discover your favority recipe.
- Cranberry Lemon Cookie Scones (more dense and crunchy)
- Cinnamon Twist Cookie Scones
- Circle Scones (lighter, flakier)
10. Instant Breakfast Ideas
No time to prep? No worries. Here are some great ideas for instant breakfasts.
- Combine ZEGO Muesli with non-dairy yogurt or milk and eat like you would cold cereal. If you have time, let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
- Add Mix-ins to your favorite dry cereal flakes to add nutrition and staying power.
- Spread some seed or nut butter on a rice cake, pancake or toast and top with your favorite Mix-Ins flavor.
- Spread some avocado on gluten-free toast and top with Cranberry Mix-Ins.
- Need to jump in the car or bus? Bring a bag of Mix-Ins! They are packed with nutrition and are so satisfying—a couple of handfuls will keep your body and brain happy for hours.
Let us know your favorite easy healthy breakfast ideas using your favorite muesli products! We’d love to add them to our recipes and share them with everyone.
Be well,
Colleen, ZEGO Founder

Carrot Cake is an old favorite around here and it’s definitely a nostalgic dessert that evokes memories of baking at home and lazy Sunday potlucks. Carrot Cake is also one of those sneaky treats that makes you feel like you’re eating healthy (it’s got veggies in it, right?🥕😁!), but it can be so high in processed sugar and calories.
Our friend and plant-based recipe creator extraordinaire Amanda @plant__creations is here to share her recipe for this classic sweet that packs in flavor and nutrition. And, since it’s vegan and gluten-free (and easily adaptable to nix the walnuts), you can share these cupcakes with all your friends and family! 🧁
TO MAKE CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES:
INGREDIENTS
1 cup ZEGO oats (blended into oat flour)
1 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup non-dairy milk
1 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup walnuts
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup vegan cream cheese (for frosting)
1/4 cup agave (for frosting)
1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 and line your cupcake tins with baking
cups.
In a large bowl, add the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder,
salt, and spices. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, add the non-dairy milk, coconut sugar,
vanilla, and maple syrup. Whisk together well and pour the wet
ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Add in the shredded carrots and walnuts. Combine well and
then divide the batter evenly among the cupcake tins. Bake at
350 for 22-25 minutes.
While the cupcakes are baking, make the frosting.
In a small bowl, add the vegan cream cheese, agave, and
vanilla. Whisk together well until a smooth but thick frosting
forms. Place in the fridge.
Once the cupcakes are done, let cool completely before frosting. Top with extra carrots, walnuts, and cinnamon, and enjoy! ✨

📣📣 All oats are not created equal! Our raw oats have active enzymes and a multitude of benefits over other oats on the market. So what *exactly* do active enzymes have to bring to the table, you ask?
-SUPERIOR NUTRITION-
We use a cold process from harvest to rolling so our oats’ enzymes remain intact and protein and nutrients are preserved.
Active enzymes counter anti-nutrient growth so you absorb more nutrients. 💪🏻
-EASY TO DIGEST-
There is no detectable phytic acid (anti-nutrient) due to the preservation of enzyme activity during cold processing. 🙌🏻
-BETTER FLAVOR & TEXTURE-
Just remember, Raw oats have a natural bitterness due to their enzyme activity and either must be cooked or baked to eliminate it. They can also be enjoyed cold with yogurt. Many also enjoy them raw in protein balls or homemade bars with nut or seed butters, chocolate, or cinnamon. 🌱
📣🥣Do not use for overnight oats with milk unless you add 1/8th teaspoon salt for each 1/2 cup of oats. Or, try our muesli instead. Our Cinnamon Twist and Apple Cranberry are perfect for overnight oats!

📢 All chocolate brands should provide traceable heavy metal testing like ZEGO does for our breakfast cereals.
Lab testing by As You Sow and Consumer Reports from 2022 shows that a lot of chocolate, particularly dark chocolate and even more so cacao power, can be quite high in cadmium and lead, which can damage your health. Trader Joes chocolate has consistently had the highest heavy metal content.
But even without that transparency, you can still pick better brands. 🙌🏻
🍫 Take a look at the December 2022 Consumer Report on this issue and As You Sow’s report from March 2022. They tested dozens of chocolate brands and products. Find the ones you like the best that have the lowest metal levels.
And, be sure to only choose organic chocolate. It’s the only way to guarantee child labor and slave labor haven’t been used to harvest the cacao you eat. 🌱
⚠️Spoilers: ⚠️
Chocolove tested very well except for their 88% cacao, and their chocolates are organic. Ghirardelli and some Lindt products also tested well but are not organic.
Trader Joes, Equal Exchange, Endangered Species & Godiva are some of the brands that consistently showed high lead and cadmium. They need to clean up their act. And to be honest, should pull their products off the shelf until they can provide safe products. 💯

Can oatmeal be blood-sugar friendly? 🥣
Our oats are minimally processed and have an intact fiber-rich bran layer, which means your body digests them more slowly, and therefore your blood glucose will likely rise more slowly too.
Another way to calm glucose response: top oats with foods rich in protein, fat, and fiber, such as the ones below:
-Seeds, such as chia, flax, hemp, or pumpkin 🌱
-Our Whole Foods Plant Based Protein Powder 💪🏻
-Unsweetened coconut flakes 🥥
-Spices, such as cinnamon and nutmeg✨

At ZEGO, we have been sourcing our gluten-free oats from the same farmers in the US for years. They have consistently tested as having no measurable gluten at a sensitivity level of 5 ppm (the lowest level possible). We post our results on our website and connect them to each package through the QR code.
Our founder Colleen is celiac and has been for 30 years. Listen to her response to the recent statement by Gluten-Free Watchdog that she cannot recommend any oat brands for Celiacs anymore because of supply chain issues resulting in cross contact. To be clear, this does not apply to ZEGO and we have reached out to GFWD to ask them to be more specific in their statement.
If you are looking for purity protocol, gluten-free oats that consistently test as having no measurable gluten at the lowest possible sensitivity level, we have the oats for you.
If you are looking for oats that have been tested to show that they have no or very low heavy metals, we are the company for you.
If you are looking for oats that do not have mycotoxins, that could hurt your stomach and interfere with your digestion or worse, we’ve got you covered.
And if you were looking for oats that do not have anti-nutrient overgrowth, that will prevent you from digesting and enjoying your oats, you guessed it, our oats are for you.
Our team works so hard every day to bring you the highest quality, safest oatmeal on the market. It is our mission and our honor, and we thank you for your support.
Part of our mission is to make our oats as accessible to you as possible without high shipping fees. So you can find us conveniently at Sprouts stores nationwide, vitacost.com, Natural Grocers, Whole Foods Mid-Atlantic region, and many other retail locations. Find the store nearest you by visiting the product pages on our website at zegofoods.com.

If you are looking for purity protocol, gluten-free oats that consistently test as having no measurable gluten at the lowest possible sensitivity level, we have the oats for you.
If you are looking for oats that have been tested to show that they have no or very low heavy metals, we are the company for you.
If you are looking for oats that do not have mycotoxins, that could hurt your stomach and interfere with your digestion or worse, we’ve got you covered.
And if you were looking for oats that do not have anti-nutrient overgrowth, that will prevent you from digesting and enjoying your oats, you guessed it, our oats are for you.
Our team works so hard every day to bring you the highest quality, safest oatmeal on the market. It is our mission and our honor, and we thank you for your support.
Part of our mission is to make our oats as accessible to you as possible without high shipping fees. So you can find us conveniently at Sprouts stores nationwide, vitacost.com, Natural Grocers, Whole Foods Mid-Atlantic region, and many other retail locations. Find the store nearest you by visiting the product pages on our website at zegofoods.com.
