7 EASY KETO BREAKFAST RECIPES

You won’t be surprised by this, but eggs are a popular keto breakfast for a reason. Not only can you make them fried, scrambled, or hard-boiled, they’re so versatile and you can easily whip up casseroles, breakfast sandwiches, egg cups, quiche, and more.

But an easy keto breakfast doesn’t stop with just eggs, of course, you’ll be thrilled to learn there are many other egg-free recipes out there to help you get a variety for breakfast.

Since eggs are often the most popular easy keto breakfast recipes for beginners, we’ve definitely included a few. But it doesn’t stop there! Keto “oatmeal”, smoothies, and baked goods like muffins, also make terrific easy keto meals for beginners when you want a little variety in your life.

Sausage & Egg Breakfast Sandwich

Making a keto sausage and egg breakfast sandwich is easy to but it’s also SO delicious. No need to crave the McDonald’s line when you can make a keto-friendly substitute for a sausage and cheese “biscuit”.

Keto Green Smoothie

While my husband prefers a bullet coffee for breakfast every morning, my personal go-to is a keto-friendly smoothie. Smoothies make the perfect way to have a plant-based low carb breakfast on the go with protein, healthy fats, low carb greens, and low carb fruits.

We love this refreshing green keto smoothie by Low Carb Yum, avocados are so tasty in a smoothie, plus they make it nice and thick. The addition of lime and mint make for a unique and flavorful addition.

Bacon & Egg Cups

Making easy bacon and egg cups makes the perfect meal prep breakfast and is also beloved by all when served at a brunch or for the holidays.

You simply partially bake the bacon in a muffin tin, add in eggs, cheese, and cream, and bake until the yolk is thickened but not all the way cooked through.

Yum! These are a favorite for sure!

Keto Oatmeal

If you thought you had to give up oatmeal on the keto diet, you’re mistaken! Instead of using traditional high carb oats, both chia seeds and hemp seeds make a delicious alternative.

Both chia and hemp seeds are very low in carbs yet high in fiber. A perfect breakfast to keep your system “regular.”

Keto Blueberry Muffins

If you thought you had to give up baking on the keto diet, think again! You can still eat muffins on the keto diet when you substitute all-purpose flour with low carb options like almond flour and coconut flour.

This 5 star low carb blueberry muffin recipe that’s both keto and paleo is a great place to start.

Bullet Coffee

Keto bullet coffee is one of the most popular keto breakfasts out there and it’s my husband’s personal favorite. When you want to do intermittent fasting and want to skip keto food for breakfast, this surprisingly delicious keto coffee drink is very tasty AND filling!

The added fats will keep you full all morning long, seriously!  And at first adding butter and coconut to coffee sounded odd, but it’s honestly super good! If I wasn’t so obsessed with drinking a keto smoothie every morning, this would be my go-to breakfast. 

Keto Bullet Coffee:

• 12 oz hot coffee
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1 Tbsp butter 

Add the coconut oil and butter to your coffee, you can either stir until melted or add it to a blender cup.
