When most people think of brunch, they picture stacks of syrup-drizzled pancakes, muffins fresh from the oven, or sweet baked goods galore. But for those following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), finding savory, inflammation-friendly brunch options can be a little trickier—especially ones that feel as satisfying as their traditional counterparts.

At Eat G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R., we love reimagining classic meals using our AIP-compliant baking mixes. While our products are often celebrated for sweet treats, they’re just as powerful for creating savory, satisfying dishes that keep your weekend brunch game strong—without grains, dairy, or inflammatory ingredients.

Here are three delicious, fully compliant recipes to bring savory flair to your next brunch table.

1. Herbed AIP Muffins

A warm, savory muffin is the perfect start to a slow morning. Using our Cake Mix as a base, you can transform it into a herb-packed delight.

What You’ll Need:

• 1 bag Eat G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Cake Mix
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• Optional: chopped green onions or sautéed mushrooms

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mix all ingredients until just combined.
3. Spoon into a greased or lined muffin tin.
4. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

The result? Light, fluffy muffins with earthy herbal notes—perfect alongside eggs or a fresh salad.

2. Cheese-Free Quiche Crust

Think quiche is off-limits without eggs or cheese? Think again. Our Cookie Mix works beautifully as a grain-free crust for a veggie-packed brunch centerpiece.

Crust:

• 1 bag Eat G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R. Cookie Mix
• 1/3 cup coconut oil (solid)
• 3–4 tbsp cold water

Filling Ideas:

• Sautéed spinach, mushrooms, and zucchini
• Ground turkey or chicken with fresh herbs
• Coconut milk for a creamy, dairy-free base

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine crust ingredients and press into a greased pie dish.
3. Par-bake for 10 minutes.
4. Add filling and bake until set (time will depend on filling ingredients).

The crust holds beautifully, adding a subtly sweet, nutty flavor that balances savory fillings.

3. Savory Pancake Bites

Our Pancake & Waffle Mix is endlessly versatile, and these bite-sized savory pancakes are ideal for brunch grazing boards.
