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.
