100+ AIP Breakfast and Brunch Ideas and Recipes

If you're looking for some awesome AIP breakfast and brunch ideas, you are in the right place! Figuring out breakfast on AIP can feel bewildering at first. You may be wondering what the heck to eat if you can't have grains, eggs, or dairy.

If you're new to the AIP diet, you may want to check out my Beginner's Guide to the AIP Diet, AIP Reintroduction Guide, and 7 Day AIP Meal Plan.

In this post. you'll find an extensive list of AIP breakfast recipes as well as some handy store-bought breakfast items, some FAQ's, and breakfast tips. 

Select from the table of contents to jump to a specific food category.

All of the recipes in this post are Paleo and elimination phase compliant, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, dairy-free, and nut-free.

Many of them are also keto, vegan, vegetarian/meat-free, coconut-free, and/or Whole30 compliant as well.  I tried to make note of these additional dietary restrictions in each recipe description.

What Can You Eat for Breakfast on AIP?

This is a super common question for those doing AIP and with good reason. Obviously, this post is all about that and there are tons of recipes and products below that you may like.

That being said, you don't have to use fancy recipes or products to do breakfast on AIP. You can start out as simply as you want.

A Few Simple, Quick AIP Breakfast Options

• Smoked Salmon or Prosciutto- These are getting a bit fancy and a bit pricey but they're pretty easy to find and usually AIP compliant (check ingredient labels though). Just pair these with some sliced cucumbers or add them to a salad, sweet potato, or bowl of steamed veggies.

• Coconut Yogurt Parfaits- If you can find coconut yogurt, this is a fun and super easy option. You can make a parfait by topping it with fresh berries, shredded coconut, sliced tiger nuts, AIP granola, honey, etc.
• Smoothies- Use a mixture of frozen fruits, vegetables, coconut yogurt (optional), and some sort of liquid like water, coconut water, coconut milk (without guar gum), or juice (but go easy on this one and make sure it's 100% juice).
• Soup/Bone Broth Bowls-This is one of my favorites because you can do it in so many ways and it's very easy. Mix a little bone broth with some precooked veggies- I often will use leftover veggies from other meals.

Do the same with any leftover meats or just omit the meat. Add some seasonings as needed for flavor- I usually add a little sea salt, garlic powder, sometimes apple cider vinegar for a little tang, coconut milk for some creaminess, and coconut aminos.

My AIP turkey brussels sprouts soup is a great example of this approach.

*When it comes to making bone broth, you can check out this slow cooker bone broth recipe. If you prefer to buy it, this Epic Bone Broth is AIP compliant.

Turkey Mushroom Brussels Sprout Soup, Food Courage

• Baked Sweet Potato-This is a very easy thing to make ahead of time. Then you can just pull it out of the fridge and add some toppings.

Make a sweet baked potato with coconut yogurt, unsweetened shredded coconut, cinnamon, and raisins.

Make a savory one by adding some leftover cooked ground beef, meal prep ground turkey, instant pot pulled pork, or shredded chicken with a little 4 ingredient guacamole (or diced avocados).

• Fresh Fruit (not too much, maybe 2-3 servings/day as we want to go easy on sugar)

Try to go for lower glycemic options like berries, pears, plums, peaches, grapefruit, apples, oranges, etc. 

• Dates with Tigernut Butter
• Celery or Apples with Tigernut Butter
• Steamed Cauliflower Rice- I often use frozen cauliflower rice heated in the microwave or on the stove. You can do a lot of different things to it.

Noatmeal is one example- add a little coconut milk, fruit, and maple syrup. This cinnamon apple noatmeal recipe does something similar. 

If you want to go the savory route, you can add smoked salmon or canned tuna, or chicken. Better yet, have some chicken/beef/fish already prepped and ready to add to the cauliflower rice.

Aside from cauliflower rice, you can of course take advantage of other frozen vegetable options as needed. Use seasonings, coconut aminos, diced onions, and guacamole for a little extra flavor. 

• Pre-cut Pre-Washed Veggies in a Bag- Think coleslaw mix, broccoli slaw, baby carrots, shredded carrots, shredded brussels sprouts, even bagged salad mixes (though you can probably only just the lettuce mixture and not the toppings/dressing).

These can be used for salads, a quick skillet meal or just snacking on. Get the steamable veggie bags that you can microwave to save time (on occasion). I try to limit this method in case there are any health implications but it sure is handy.

If doing a salad you could try one of these: cherry balsamic dressing, cinnamon orange dressing, or AIP ranch dressing.

• AIP Compliant Bacon- Make a batch of bacon on the weekend and then just grab a couple of slices on the go or add it to a quick meal.

I have a  post all about AIP, Paleo, and Whole30 Compliant Bacon Brands and also How to Cook Bacon in an Instant Pot.

• Cook Some Veggies in a Pan- If it makes your life easier and it's in the budget you can even use precut veggies to save some time.

One of my favorite (and most popular skillet veggie) recipes is my rainbow chard with sweet potatoes and mushrooms. Ok, so the sweet potatoes take a little time to cook but it's delicious and you can prep them ahead of time. Just be sure to keep the sweet potatoes separate from the other veggies to prevent sogginess.

Breakfast Tips

• Don't Restrict Yourself to the Typical "Breakfast Foods"

AIP requires a mindset shift in so many different ways. In this case, it's helpful if you stop trying to look for typical breakfast options on AIP because they are limited.

Instead, open up your mind to eating any AIP-compliant foods at breakfast. What I mean is, breakfast foods can be savory, they can be soups or salads, and they can be leftovers from other meals. 

• Take Advantage of Leftovers

As mentioned above, if you can wrap your head around eating foods that are non-typical for breakfast, it opens up options. I know not everyone is a fan of this and that's ok, but using leftovers from dinner the night before can make life easier.

It frees you up to not worry about meal prepping breakfasts or scrambling to make breakfast every morning. Just plan ahead and double the recipe when you make dinner so there's enough for the next morning. 

• Have a Plan

Having your meals planned for the week can make all the difference between success and failure. When it comes to breakfasts, experiment with some recipes to find a few you like, and then if possible, prep them ahead of time. 

• Don't Overdo It on the Sugary Stuff

There are a lot of beautiful, enticing AIP breakfast recipes that have a fair amount of sugar in them. This post includes some of those recipes. These should be considered "once in a while foods."

Pancakes and donuts for example should be reserved for the occasional weekend treat or special occasion. 

• Use AIP Store-Bought Foods When Needed. 

Obviously, we don't want to lean too heavily on store bought-products. However, if you're super busy or traveling, these can be useful in staying on track.

Wild Zora, for example, has AIP-friendly hot cereal packets. Their meat and veggie bars are great too. You can use this link to save 15% on your order if you decide to try it. 

I'll talk about some other store-bought AIP breakfast foods below. However, first, let's get into the recipes!
