Making your own homemade savory breakfast seasoning is easy and delicious! Great for special diets, like AIP, Paleo, Whole30 or low FODMAP.
The other day, I was making one of my famous breakfast hashes and thinking to myself, “Wouldn’t it be great if I had a breakfast seasoning blend I could easily add to my quick weekday breakfasts, without having to measure out a million different spices?”
I’d heard of Primal Palate’s Breakfast Blend before, but never tried it. It’s AIP, Paleo and Whole30 approved, which is awesome for those of us on restricted diets! But when I saw the $10 price tag, I nearly fell out of my chair.
So, I figured I’d save a few bucks and give my own breakfast seasoning blend a try and see how it turned out.
Well, friends, we have a winner. And this breakfast seasoning is not only AIP, Paleo, and Whole30 – it’s also easily adaptable to be low FODMAP, for those of us who are battling SIBO or IBS.
And my spice-and-garlic-loving husband couldn’t stop raving about it, so you know it’s good! Even for those who aren’t on restricted diets.
What spices are allowed on AIP?
If you’re following the Autoimmune Protocol, you might be getting frustrated with all the spices and seasonings that are restricted on AIP. Store-bought spice blends are especially risky. Anything manufactured with (or in the same facility as) gluten is an automatic no-go. And a lot of store-bought seasoning blends have one or more spices that are restricted on the elimination phase of AIP. Anything with nightshades, black pepper, seed spices, or berry-based spices are off limits. And that’s A LOT of spice blends.
Thriving on Paleo has an awesome comprehensive list of herbs and spices that are and are not allowed on AIP. Check it out.
What’s a low FODMAP breakfast seasoning?
I’m no expert on low FODMAP foods, but I know for sure garlic and onions are high in FODMAPS and should be avoided on a low FODMAP diet. (For the authority on low FODMAP herbs and spices, consult the experts at Monash University).
And how many store-bought breakfast seasoning blends do you think contain garlic and/or onions? The vast majority.
There are actually a few low FODMAP seasonings to choose from on store shelves, but who wants to pay the specialty price tag when you can easily make your own at home in under two minutes?
Ingredients for 2-Minute Breakfast Seasoning

The ingredients for this 2-Minute Breakfast Seasoning Blend are spices you already have in your pantry. And if you don’t, you need to go get them, because this breakfast seasoning blend is life!
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp dried sage
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp dried onions (omit for low FODMAP)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
Measure out all the spices and herbs, add to a spice jar and shake, shake, shake! If you are following a low FODMAP diet, omit the onion. The flavor will still be deliciously savory.
Use this breakfast seasoning blend to make homemade breakfast sausages, breakfast hashes, sautéed veggies, or anywhere else you’d like a savory breakfast flavor. I use about 1 tsp per pound of meat or vegetables, but feel free to adjust the amount you use to your taste.
