Aran Goyoaga, the face behind the food blog Cannelle et Vanille, whips up seductive breakfast dishes that just happen to be gluten-free.

With breakfast being prime family time in the busy Goyoaga household, she’s been particularly focused on developing morning meals to please the whole gang. “A lot of traditional breakfast dishes contain gluten,” she says, “so I tackle one recipe at a time, trying not to compromise on texture, flavor, or healthfulness.”

This whole-grain cereal is good for instant breakfasts and portable snacking. The pistachios can be swapped out for hazelnuts, dried cherries -- even dark chocolate.

Coconut milk lends this elegant but easy clafoutis (think frittata meets souffle) an uncommon richness.

Goyoaga makes her bread with flours milled from nutritious ancient grains, including quinoa and teff.

Combined with grated apple and steamed squash, healthy-fat-rich hazelnut flour ensures a perfectly moist texture in these autumnal treats.
