There are a few meals that become those family favorite, go-to meals. Whether they’re easy to prepare or just please everyone’s palate, they get rave reviews every time they’re made. Which just reinforces their rank as one of the best meals to make.
It may sound strange, but breakfast is one of those for us.
Eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, hash browns, yes, everything you think of as traditional ’breakfast’ food is one of my family favorite meals.
Breakfast gets such high marks with my family that I swear it’s the only meal that everyone will eat without hesitation. No picking at the food, no wondering when we can have (fill in the blank here) – nope, everyone enjoys bacon and ham with a side of eggs.
And, in another strange revelation, our ‘breakfast’ is not reserved just for morning hours.
Not at all... I’m talking breakfast for dinner here.
Dinner time is the perfect time for breaking out the skillets and scrambling up some eggs. In fact, breakfast for dinner has become one of our weekday favorites.
So today’s recipe takes breakfast and puts it in a sandwich. Even when you have no time to make anything for breakfast, you can warm up a breakfast sandwich and head out the door.
It’s that easy.
And it’s a great way to start your day (or end it, depending on when you are enjoying these taste-bud tempting sandwiches).
Tips for Making Gluten Free Breakfast Sandwiches
But these are not just any gluten free breakfast sandwich. There’s a secret to these sandwiches that make them unlike any others you’ll ever have.
No storebought sandwich stands a chance!
The secret to these is that big, cheesy gluten free bread bun that holds everything together.
Look at those flecks of shredded cheddar cheese scattered throughout. It almost makes you want to just take one and eat it by itself.
The homemade bread takes these sandwiches from good to out-of-this-world amazing.
And they are easy to make too.
Just mix up the dry ingredients, then the wet and then just mix them together.
Add a little cheese and you are ready to bake.
Baking and Assembling a Gluten Free Breakfast Sandwich
For baking, I recommend an over-sized muffin pan, like this one. The muffin cups are the perfect size for making into breakfast sandwiches. I’ve found the regular muffin pans are just too small – using an over-sized muffin pan means you’ll get nice sized sandwiches.
Assembling these hearty sandwiches is about as easy as spreading jelly on a biscuit.
While the buns are cooling, scramble your eggs and get your meat ready.
Once the eggs are ready, slice up the buns. On the bottom half, stack the eggs, slice or fold the meat and then add the bun top.
If you aren’t eating the breakfast sandwiches right away, wrap them in plastic wrap and either freeze them or store them in the refrigerator. Reheat them for 30 seconds – 2 minutes (if frozen) and enjoy.

Gluten Free Breakfast Sandwiches
Ingredients
Bread
- 145 grams Almond Flour about 1 ½ cups
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 2 Eggs
- ⅓ cup Sour Cream or buttermilk, can be dairy free
- 4 Tablespoons vegan butter melted
- ⅓ cups shredded cheddar cheese can be dairy free
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, salt and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
- In a small bowl, add the eggs, sour cream or buttermilk and melted butter. Using a hand mixer, mix for 1 minute or until the ingredients are completely combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir just until blended.
- Fold in the cheese. Let batter sit while oven preheats.
- Heat oven to 400 F. Prepare a 6-cup, oversized muffin pan by spraying each cup with non-stick cooking spray.
- Divide batter evenly into the 6 muffin cups and bake for 14 -17 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly.
While the bread is cooling, scramble eggs and cut up the meat. I’ve used bacon, ham and sausage with amazing results.
- Slice each bun in half.
- Layer the eggs and meat on the bottom bun and top with the bun top.
Notes
- These breakfast sandwiches freeze really well - just wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze. Then defrost and enjoy.
- Sandwiches can be filled with anything - spinach, tomato, ham, bacon, sausage, turkey, the list goes on and on!

I'm really excited to try this recipe and and a few of the bread machine recipes.
However, I cannot use almond flour due to my tree nut allergy.
Would oat flour be a good substitute?
If not, what flour would you recommend?
Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary,
Thanks for asking.
So oat flour would the best alternative - I haven't used it in this recipe, so no guarantees, but it would be my best recommendation.
Thanks,

Love your gluten free breakfast sandwiches recipe but I am lactose intolerant . What could I use instead of the sour cream?
C.J. Brady
Hi Brenda,
Thanks for asking!
So the best alternative would be a dairy free sour cream. Or the brand So Delicious makes a dairy free Greek yogurt that would also work well.
Hope that helps!
Wilma
Hi could these be made using plain gf flour
Thanks
Christine
Hi Wilma,
I haven't tested it, so I can't say for sure - the almond flour is my go-to for this recipe. But if you do, please let me know how they turn out!
