Keto Egg Muffins – An Easy, Low-Carb Breakfast Recipe

These Keto Egg Muffins have been a life changer for my family! Not only are they low-carb, they are absolutely delicious and easy to make.

Keto egg muffins filled with your favorite omelet fillings. An easy breakfast recipe that you can make ahead of time.

In fact, we make a batch every Sunday and refrigerate the leftovers so that we have a make ahead breakfast (or low-carb snack) anytime we need one. And just like our Breakfast Bombs recipe, you can customize them based on your eating preferences or what you have in the refrigerator.

For instance, below we have included one of our standard Keto Breakfast Muffins recipe that uses ground sausage, diced onions and peppers and Cheddar Cheese.

However, if you prefer bacon, by all means, use that! And if you have some extra chicken from last night’s dinner, you can make a Buffalo Chicken Breakfast Muffin as well.

Here are some of our other favorite Keto Egg Muffin combinations:

  • mushrooms, onions, spinach
  • chicken, buffalo sauce, green onions
  • bacon, onions, peppers, salsa, cheese
  • sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, Parmesan cheese
  • ham, cheese
  • jalapeno, chicken, pepper Jack cheese
  • bacon, sausage, ham, cheese

As you can see, there are many possibilities to make this recipe your own. However, the cooking process will remain the same no matter ingredients that you choose.

Be sure to whisk your eggs very well before adding them to the muffin tin.

How To Make Keto Breakfast Muffins

In the recipe card below, we have included the ingredients to make our standard Sausage Keto Egg Muffins.

Ingredients

  • Eggs
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Cooked Ground Sausage
  • Diced Onions
  • Diced Bell Peppers
  • Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

You will need to use a standard muffin tin for this recipe. And I find it very helpful to use silicone muffin liners instead of spray the pan with non-stick baking spray.

silicone cups
Fill the cups about 1/2 full of the eggs. This will allow enough room to add your fillings.

Not only do the Keto egg muffins come out of the liners easier, the clean up is much quicker as well!

Once you have your muffin tin ready, preheat the oven to 400°F. Then in a large mixing bowl, whisk 10 large eggs with salt and pepper until the eggs are nice and fluffy.

Then pour the egg mixture into the muffin tin until each cup is half full. Now it is time to add the toppings. Evenly divided the toppings among each cup.

Place the fillings in each cup into the beaten egg mixture.

Be sure not to overfill the muffin cups. After you add the toppings, the Keto Egg Muffin cups should be no more than 3/4 full. Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through and set.

When you remove the pan from the oven, let the eggs sit for a minute or two. They will deflate some, and just like with any frittata or breakfast casserole recipe this is normal.

Remove the muffin liners or run a knife around the inside edge of each cup to loosen the breakfast muffins away from the pan if you used non-stick spray.

When the eggs are cooked through and set, remove them from the oven and let sit for a minute or two before removing them from the muffin pan.

Eat immediately or let cool and place in the refrigerator or freezer for an easy make ahead breakfast meal.

Reheating Instructions

To reheat the Keto Egg Muffins simply place them in a microwave and heat for 30-40 seconds. It can’t get any easier than that!

And remember, these not only make a great low-carb breakfast. You can eat them for a snack or appetizer as well!

Enjoy!
