Breakfast Bowl [vegan, gluten free]
If you need an easy healthy breakfast, then my Vegan Breakfast Bowl is exactly what you need.
Full of fruits, nuts, and with gluten free oats, this is not only nourishing but also delicious.
If you like, you can also make this an amazing quinoa breakfast recipe by substituting the oats. Sprinkle your favorite nut butter over this Breakfast Bowl and be energized for the day.
Fresh fruits are winners. Still it's somewhat difficult for me at times to get my daily dose in.
This is why, about two weeks ago, I started integrating more fruits into my breakfast.
But as I am a slow starter in the mornings, it had to be quick and easy - and this Breakfast Bowl was born.
I'll admit it: this was not intended to be a blog recipe initially. But I began liking it so much that I just had to share it with you guys.
The main component are gluten-free oats that are cooked in coconut milk.
This one combines with fruits and nuts. My favorite combination is the one you can see here: with blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. They go well together with almonds.
Making a Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
For extra flavor, I cooked the gluten free oats in coconut milk. I know that many people also look for inspiration for quinoa breakfast recipes.
Well, then I suggest to use quinoa instead of the gluten free oats.
You might have to adjust the amount of milk and the cooking time a bit according to the package information on your quinoa.
Otherwise, this combination also works very well.
Of course, you have to make sure that the quinoa is really well cooked and has absorbed all the liquid. The last thing we want is a soggy mush in our bowl.
As you can see, I finally sprinkle this vegan Breakfast Bowl with coconut flakes and some nut butter. The one you can see is cashew butter.
But I tried several ones, from almond to hazelnut butters - they all work excellent.
If you need an allergy-friendly version, go for sunflower or pumpkin seeds and sunflower seed butter.
This one probably will come a bit too firm, so you'll have to use a bit of water to thin before giving it over the bowl.
It's all super-quick and super-delicious and gives me an early morning energy-boost.
Truly a great way to kick-off your day! You'll feel full of healthy energy that lasts.

You're right, lady! 🙂

It's 9 am and I haven't had my breakfast and this delicious bowl is now calling my name! This is truly my family's kind of breakfast and love that you cooked the oats in coconut milk! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Yeah, glad you like the recipe, Abigail! 🙂
Wow this looks yummy! I always just soak my oats in water overnight to get them creamy as I don't add milk to my oats, but I'll have to try it sometime! Love all your toppings. The bowl looks just perfect!
Thank you, Brandi! 🙂
I'm not a big breakfast eater but this looks super yummy! Love all those berries!
Thank you Judy! I hope you will enjoy the mornings better than ever with this breakfast bowl! 🙂
I LOVE cooking oats in coconut milk - straight up comfort food goodness! with all the summer fruit we are seeing at the farmers markets (and the cherries I am getting from our tree!), I am enjoying more fruit lately too. I can eat a pint of fresh raspberries without even knowing it!
Comfort food at its best, Kristina! 🙂
My oldest is obsessed with fruit for breakfast so I am all for this breakfast bowl! So pretty too!
Glad you like it!
this is one of my favorite breakfast ideas - SO many good things in one gorgeous bowl

Love oatmeal for breakfast, this looks way more appetizing though!
Thank you, Michelle! 🙂
I love meals that come in bowls. There's something so comforting about it, isn't there? This one is GORGEOUS. Love all the color. I, for one, would be eager to dive into this every morning!
Agreed, bowl meals are the best! Glad you like the recipe and I hope you try it!
This looks so good! How much maple syrup do I add? I don't see it in the ingredient list. Thanks!
You can add 1 - 2 Tbs of maple syrup, depends on your liking!

For sure, Jess. The recipe is good for about 4 servings. I never count calories, I only focused on nutrients.
Eep Love that. I hope to get there eventually! Thank you
You're welcome, Jess!
Great breakfast Florian! So colorful and so nutritious!
I hope you try it, Allie!
Dear Florian. what a wholesome breakfast bowl..this is how every morning should begin. Looks wonderful my friend!
Thank you, Catherine! 🙂
What a great breakfast!
It is, Sharon!
Love this breakfast! I am so bad about morning meals, but I think I need to try this!
Haha, Michelle, then I think this bowl will be 100% right for you! 🙂
Do you use canned coconut milk for this recipe?
Exactly, Kelly! Let me know if you do!
@Florian @ContentednessCooking, do you use unsweetened coconut milk?
Hi Gail! I do. Hope that clarifies and helps. Let me know what you think.
This is amazing! I love breakfast bowls, and this one is really fast and easy.
Thanks for your amazing feedback, Brianna! One of my favorites!
I saw this yummy bowl online last night and decided I was going to make it in the morning. Unfortunately I didn’t have coconut milk on hand so I tried almond milk instead. It still came out really good. Next time I will definitely try cooking the oats in cocunuy milk, I’m sure it’s very tasteless too! Thank you for the recipe! 🙂
I will never eat oatmeal other than this recipe ever again. WOW it’s so good!
Thanks so much for your fantastic feedback, Madi! Happy to hear it was such a big hit! One of my breakfast favorites! I hope you'll find lots of more recipes to try!
This looks amazing! Why do your oats look baked and crubchy as opposed to soft after cooking? I did not see baking in the recipe? Thanks!
Sonja
Hi Sonja. The oats are cooked, they just have absorbed all the liquid. Cheers!
AMAZING!!!! I hate oatmeal as my daughter does as well but I decided to make this anyway. Omg we both cleaned our bowls and my husband and son loved it too. Thanks for such a great recipe!
Thanks for making and sharing it, Fallon! Glad it was such a big hit with your family. I hope you'll find lots of more recipes to try.
