When I was first introduced to what a Paleo diet was and decided to try some Paleo breakfast recipes, I thought I would be only eating eggs with fruit every morning. I decided to do some research and was pleasantly surprised to find so many different recipes that look good are easy to make, healthy and don’t have a huge list of ingredients.
Although, a suggestion to you that is often overlooked for a fantastic breakfast is leftovers. Yep. Make a little extra dinner and enjoy it the next day. I know this doesn’t always work though so that’s why I found all these recipes. Just click on the image to get the recipe.
Then below that are several other lists of recipes to help you narrow it down to what you are looking for. I have recipes for Paleo cereal, muffins, granola bars, pancakes, cookies, smoothies and more. There are recipes you can make ahead of time and grab that morning on your way out the door or more involved recipes you may want to save for a Saturday or Sunday.
One of my favorite Paleo recipes is for muffins. I like to make those up one day when I have a little more time and then eat the leftovers the next few mornings. The Paleo flours, like coconut flour and almond flour combined with eggs to make a very filling muffin that will keep you satisfied until lunch.
I don’t know about you, but I am definitely not a morning person and when it comes to eating breakfast, that is what gets left out. Not Good! I really do hate making breakfast but I know also that it truly is the most important meal of the day.
I know that making anything Paleo isn’t usually quick and easy because it takes much more preparation than just picking up a box of cereal at the store. Quick and easy are relative, meaning that quick and easy to one person will mean something totally different to another person. Because of that, I tried to include the quickest and easiest Paleo breakfast recipes I could find.
Oh, another thing I want to add is that a lot of Paleo eaters overlook vegetables. I think it’s really important to have at least one vegetable with every meal and breakfast is no exception. A lot of these recipes have vegetables, which are wonderful for variety and to help with your gut health. I hope this list will be helpful to a few others as you try to find some new, go-to Paleo breakfast recipes.
Easy Paleo Breakfast Recipes from Other Readers
I am a member of a large Paleo Facebook group. I think it’s interesting and I get a lot of ideas from other people who also eat Paleo. I’d like to share some of the comments with you.

Paleo Breakfast Recipes from Other Bloggers
Sweet Potato Toast – Family Food on the Table
Sweet Potato – Your Favorite Toppings
This is the easiest idea I’ve seen in a long time. All you do is slice a sweet potato so it fits in the regular toaster. Then you toast it two or three times depending on your toaster and how thick the sweet potato is. When it’s done you top it with whatever you feel like that day. You can either go sweet or savory, it’s up to you.
Some suggestions are almond butter and fruit or a fried egg, pepper and salt and chili powder or hot sauce or salsa. You could top it with either slice or mashed avocado, sliced tomatoes and even a fried egg. Other suggestions are honey or maple syrup and cinnamon and sprinkle it with chia seeds. You could even try honey butter and cinnamon.

If you’d like to make your own sausage from scratch this is the recipe you need. Her sausage includes nine different spices and lard added to ground pork.

I think breakfast casseroles are easier to make than other egg dishes. They sure are great for parties or holidays. You can make it all the night before except don’t add the eggs. Just add the eggs in the morning which is really easy. Adding the eggs just before baking makes it taste so much better and fresher.
Making it the day before makes it so much easier in the morning especially for a holiday or party. You can swap out any vegetables you don’t want and use your favorites instead. It’s especially delicious if you use fresh seasonal vegetables. Some suggestions for toppings are guacamole, tomatoes, pesto, salsa, bacon, and hot sauce.

But that’s the beauty of doing your own cooking you can personalize it to your own taste and likes.
Easy Breakfast Casserole – A Table Full of Joy
Sweet Potato – Avocado Oil – Eggs – Sausage – Garlic – Green Chile – Zucchini – Garlic Powder – Real Salt
Lisa likes to make this over the weekend and then eat the leftover for an easy quick breakfast for the rest of the week. The most time-consuming part of making this is pre-cooking the sweet potatoes and frying up the sausage. But that’s to be expected, right? I sure don’t like raw sausage, do you? Lisa like to use any kind of sweet potatoes. She likes the white ones or the purple ones or just the regular old sweet potatoes. Maybe you could mix them together and get a variety of flavors. I don’t know, don’t blame if it’s nasty.
Plantain & Sausage Breakfast Casserole – Fed and Fit

Cassy is always hunting for time-efficient breakfast options that can be made ahead. She loves casseroles and plantains so this breakfast casserole is a natural for her. It just might be for you too. You do have to pre-cook the plantains and sausage but you have to pre-cook something for almost all of these recipes. So I doubt that is a problem for you. Paleo cooking is always a bit more work than opening a box of cereal. This casserole reheats exceptionally well and it freezes really well too. You could have some spinach or fruit for a side and have an absolutely delicious meal. You could eat it for dinner too. Breakfast food isn’t just limited to breakfast you know. Mix it up, enjoy life.
