Egg Muffins

Sugar-free, low-carb egg muffins loaded with bacon and cheese — a perfect grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings.

Prep Time:15 minCook Time:20 minTotal Time:35 minServings:4Difficulty:Easy

These egg muffins are my go-to for hectic mornings and packed days—rich, savory, and completely sugar-free. Crispy bacon, sharp cheddar, and tender spinach bathed in fluffy baked eggs create a portable breakfast that still feels indulgent while staying strictly keto and low-carb.

Make a batch on Sunday and you’ll have breakfast or a quick snack ready all week. They reheat beautifully in a microwave or toaster oven and travel well in a lunchbox or insulated bag for truly on-the-go eating.

Directions

  1. 1
    Greased muffin tin ready for keto egg muffins

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with avocado oil spray or butter.

  2. 2
    Frothy eggs and cream whisked with keto muffin seasonings

    Whisk together the eggs and heavy cream in a large bowl until frothy. Stir in salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. 3
    Spinach cheddar bacon and chives folded into egg mixture

    Fold in the chopped spinach, shredded cheddar, cooked chopped bacon, and chives until evenly distributed.

  4. 4
    Unbaked keto egg mixture divided among muffin cups

    Divide the mixture evenly among 8 muffin cups (reserve 4 cups empty or make mini-muffins). Fill each cup about 3/4 full.

  5. 5
    Baked bacon egg cheese muffins set and golden in the tin

    Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted should come out clean.

  6. 6
    Finished keto egg muffins cooling beside a storage container

    Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Ingredients

  • Large eggs:8 pieces
  • Heavy cream:1/4 cup
  • Shredded cheddar cheese:1 cup
  • Cooked bacon, chopped:6 slices
  • Baby spinach, chopped:1 cup
  • Fresh chives, chopped:2 tbsp
  • Salt:1 tsp
  • Black pepper:1/2 tsp
  • Garlic powder:1/4 tsp
  • Avocado oil spray (or butter):as needed

Tips & Notes

  • For extra convenience, bake a double batch and freeze individually wrapped muffins—reheat 60–90 seconds from frozen in the microwave.
  • Swap bacon for diced ham or cooked sausage, and use kale or arugula if you prefer instead of spinach.
  • Use silicone muffin cups for easy removal and minimal greasing.
