Sometimes cereal is the only thing that will satisfy that morning hunger. The cereal aisle used to be a vast sea of endless boxed possibilities, but once you have a food allergy or Celiac Disease, you may think your sea of possibilities just dried up. That is not the case though! Think again! With the rise of food allergies and intolerences, small companies and brands (even big ones!) are stepping up and providing some awesome cereal and granola options for everyone to enjoy. A life should never be deprived of cereal; it’s an American classic and for me, one of my favorite foods! Better yet, a lot of these gluten-free allergy-friendly options are healthier and use whole grain, organic ingredients. No more nasty high fructose corn syrup, BHT, or artificial colors and flavors. So I’ve complied a list of my approved gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, egg-free cereals and granolas for you to try, love, and enjoy! Because who are we kidding? Some mornings are just cereal mornings; that’s life…sweet life!
All products listed below are GLUTEN-FREE, EGG-FREE, DAIRY-FREE, and most are SOY-FREE. I indicted with a “*” on the very few products that do contain soy (usually due to a chocolate). These options are also free of nasty additives, heavy unnatural sugars like high fructose corn syrup, and preservatives like BHT.
I’ve also BOLDED the names of my favorite cereals and granolas so you know which ones I totally adore most!

Awesome list – thank you for posting! I normally make my own cereal, but sometimes would really rather just open a box up ;p
I can’t believe all of the gluten-free cereal’s out there – I will be heading to Whole Foods to find some =)
kimmythevegan recently posted…Mid-year Goal check in
Me too, but like I said, boxed will always be essential too!
This is an awesome list! Thank you so much for sharing on Merry Monday!
Megan @ C’mon Get Crafty recently posted…Merry Monday Link Party #60
Thanks!
Great List!
Elaine Hodges recently posted…What Is Clean Eating? What is “Processed” Food?
Thanks!
A great list of cereal for sure:-) I like Mona’s granola the best. It doesn’t have those hard clumpy crunchy things in it.
Sherry recently posted…Amarena Cherry Gelato
But not allergy-free 😉
Wow what a resource, this is awesome!
Michele @ paleorunningmomma recently posted…Pan Fried Meatballs – Low FODMAP & Paleo
Thanks Michele!
This is a great list! Unfortunately, we also have a corn allergy 🙁
There are tons of corn-free option here!
Quite an exhaustive list you have here! Definitely worth sharing for everyone with allergies.
Cassi recently posted…Weigh in Wednesday with a Probiotic Review
Totally! Thanks Cassi!
What a great list, Rebecca! So many of these are new to me – but I’m partial to Puffins, Love Grown O’s, KIND and Purely Elizabeth!!
Cassie @ Almost Getting it Together recently posted…The Best Free Workout Resources
Those damn Puffins! If they can make 2 flavors, they can make them ALL GF! Hahaha!
This list is awesome! I had no idea there were so many options. We eat Nature’s Path puffed varieties a lot and just add dried fruits and nuts to make it more exciting. We also really love Berry Vanilla Puffs!
Melissa @ vegan does it recently posted…BBQ Tempeh Bowl
Those are the best!!
This is great! My son is allergic to dairy and soya so its good to have a list of things he can eat. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Hi Rebecca
Congratulations!!! This post was in my top two picks for this week’s #AnythingGoes link up. I really thought it provided great information so thank you. See you at next week’s link up!
Sue recently posted…Anything Goes #10
Thanks!
Thank you for such a comprehensive list. I’m sure those who have allergies or are gluten intolerant will really appreciate your work. Thanks for sharing your list with us at #AnythingGoes
sue recently posted…Anything Goes #10
They do!
wow – what a list! this undiagnosed celiac appreciates it! 😀
Coupon Gal (Andi) recently posted…Wednesday Worship – What Is Your Favorite Worship Song?
Wooo! I hope you find some new ones to love and munch!
Wow-this is such a great list Rebecca! I see many of my favorites on there, and it’s impressive that there are so many options for people who can’t eat gluten, but also dairy, eggs, and soy too. Great job!
EA-The Spicy RD recently posted…Cherry Pie for Breakfast! Coconut Chocolate Cherry Macadamia Nut Mini Pies
There are some amazing options! Thanks dear! XOXO
It makes me rather happy to see that I’ve actually heard (and tried) of a good number of these. 😀 I love Nature’s Path!
Wooo! Nature’s Path is the ultimate authority in cereal!
Wow! There are a ton on here that I have never seen nor heard of! Perhaps they are more localized to the east coast?! As for me, most days when I want cereal, I crave and miss some good old raisin bran. The closest thing I’ve found is Mesa Sunrise with Raisins.
Rebecca recently posted…Boysenberry Pie
O, no way! Most you can get online (that’s what I do!)
That combo is about 5000x healthier anyway!
So much cereal & granola!! I’m pretty much in heaven right now haha
You know I love Power O’s and I like the Love Grown Oats granola as well, but I usually just make my own. I haven’t tried many of the others, but I’ll be sure to look for them next time I’m at the store 😀
GiselleR @ Diary of an ExSloth recently posted…Pineapple Quinoa Green Smoothie
I know, I don’t buy granola either, but there are a ton of new ones I’ve never tried either!
Awesome collection! I’ll make sure to refer back to this when my friend who has a gluten allergy comes over!
Cathleen @ A Taste Of Madness recently posted…Coconut Pancakes
Great, thanks!
Amazing list Rebecca! I’ve got one to add … Living Intentions. I think you would LOVE that one!
Alisa @ Go Dairy Free recently posted…Baked Curry Risotto (One Pot, No Stir, Easy & Creamy!)
O wow! All organic too! I’ll add them to the list!
This is such a great list Rebecca! There are so many new cereals on here that I can’t wait to try now, thank you!!
Harriet Emily recently posted…MEXICAN BEAN SALAD

Love this list! You listed some of my favorite brands, including Erewhon, Barbara’s Bakery and Van’s! Currently have those on hand as we speak. So excited to check out some of these new-to-me brands/flavors 🙂
Alanna recently posted…Individual Strawberry Rhubarb Crisps {Gluten-Free}
All good ones! I loved finding a few new ones to me too while I was putting this together!
Tank you Thank you Thank you!!!! my roommate has to eat gluten free and we are all the types to cook big meals and eat together. However since this is recent for her, she hasn’t been able to eat with us. Weve been looking for gluten free meals and this helps so much!!!
Alex recently posted…Strawberries
Well I hope you eat more than cereal though! Haha!
My favourite granola is still homemade, but I never turn down free samples of cereal when I’m in the supermarket. I tried a really good puffed quinoa, rice, and almond one the other day… was very tempting indeed! Maybe I will treat myself to a box this weekend 🙂
genevieve @ gratitude & greens recently posted…Vegan Pizza! Potato Crusted Pizza With Garlic Scape Pesto And Squash Blossoms
Haha, I still only make homemade granola now as you know!
But cereal….there is nothing better then a good old boxed cereal!
Wow what a great resource! I just shared with a client of mine who is GF and will definitely be pinning for future reference!
Well thank you!
YYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! Oh I love you for sharing all these, there are definitely some that I didn’t know about! Like when did Back to Nature start making cereal!?! Totally missed that haha 😀 And TropicOs are good!?! That’s so good to know, I’ve been eyeing them for a while but didn’t know if they were worth 5 bucks! And Erewhon is my go to brand, love them <3 And of course Nature's path with all there super long hard to remember names. And I'm so glad you included the Banana Squash Squares so I know I'm not the only one who eats little kids cereal! Hahahaha those kids know what's up! (Confession: there's this brand of toddler gummies that I ate till i was like 15…so good!) Anyways, I'm totally bookmarking this page for future reference! I wonder if there is a such thing as the all cereal diet? lol Thank you for doing this xoxo
Natalie @ Feasting on Fruit recently posted…Iced Carob Latte
I should have wrote a dedication line on this post….To my dearest Natalie. My favorite cereal foodie friend 😉
TropicO’s are awesome! HEALTHY fruit loops! My mom got me a new box for my birthday which I haven’t dug in to…just yet!
The Back to Nature one was new to me too! I found some new ones while I was putting this together! I hope I get to add more soon! I’ll be updating it regularly!
And seriously….some kiddo foods are just the best! I mean…you know I’m obsessed with baby food jars…my pantry is stocked with them!
Really baby food!?! What do you use it for? Recipes or snacking?
Natalie @ Feasting on Fruit recently posted…Iced Carob Latte
Girl….look at my recipes….pancakes, waffles, granola, baking…FRUIT PUREE LAZINESS!
Well I know that, and I’m a full supporter of it, but for a second I thought you were just eating it straight! 😮
Natalie @ Feasting on Fruit recently posted…Iced Carob Latte
Eh…yea…I’m not THAT crazy…although I would totally be okay with using apple as just normal apple sauce!
This is an awesome resource Rebecca. Thank you. I already love Nature’s Path and Love Grown Foods and now I see more brands I want to try.
jill conyers recently posted…10 Tips for Healthy Grocery Shopping
Nature’s Path is kinda the ultimate! Haha! They really are the best cereal brand, just so many options for everyone!
Wow, that is quite a selection! I love Barbara’s brand, so do my kids.
I wish they would expand the GF line!
Thanks for this list! I do miss cereal. I just gave my husband my bag of Arrowhead Mills Puffed Rice cereal after going completely gluten free, as it is not labeled such. (I assumed it probably is since the only ingredient is puffed whole grain brown rice, but without the GLUTEN FREE label, it don’t want to chance it). I’ve also read threads on other blogs about individuals getting differing answers from the company regarding this product as gluten free or not. I’ve emailed Arrowhead Mills to see what response I will get. Have you had any contact with the company to verify that this product is gluten free?
It’s safe! I have Celiac Disease and have been using that for years!
THanks for this awesome list 🙂 Love grown cereals and puffins are my fav!
