Here’s what you’ll need to make these savory keto muffins:
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 lb ground sausage, cooked
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup almond flour (for a low-carb alternative to Bisquick)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional for extra fluffiness)
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray.
- Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Mix Ingredients
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked sausage, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
- If desired, stir in heavy cream to make the muffins fluffier.
Bake
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the greased muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Use Pre-Cooked Sausage: Save time by using pre-cooked crumbled sausage, but check for added sugars in the ingredients.
- Cheese Variety: Swap cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or even gouda for different flavor profiles.
- Freeze for Later: These muffins freeze beautifully. Wrap individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
