HOW TO MAKE KETO EGG MUFFINS?

To make these Breakfast Egg Muffins, start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees and spraying a 12 count muffin pan with non-stick spray. 

Crack your eggs into a medium sized mixing bowl or a large measuring cup, add spices and whisk to combine. 

Turn your attention to the muffin pan and start layering your ingredients in the pan, leaving a bit of the ingredients off to the side to top your egg muffin cups at the end.

Breakfast Egg Muffins layed ingredients

Carefully pour your whisked eggs into the muffin tins about half way, let settle and then add a little more. 

You want your muffin tins filled almost all the way to the top.  Once your muffin tins are filled, take a fork and lightly stir each of the muffin tins to mix everything together.

Top with reserved ingredients and bake for 25 minutes.  Remove from the oven and let sit in the muffin tin for 1-2 minutes. 

Run a sharp knife around the edge of the muffin tins and gently remove from the pan, using the tip of the knife under the muffin the gently lift out.

STORE AND FREEZE EGG MUFFINS

These little low-carb Breakfast Egg Muffins can stay in your refrigerator for up to a week and are also 100% freezer friendly. 

Want to go buck wild? Make a ton of egg muffin cups one morning, wait until they are completely cool then wrap them up individually in plastic wrap, throw them in a large zip-top bag and freeze them up to three months. 

To reheat, unwrap them from the plastic wrap and wrap them in a damp paper towel. Heat in the microwave in 15 second increments until warmed through.

PRO TIPS FOR MAKING BREAKFAST EGG MUFFINS

  • Mixing your eggs in a large measuring cup is a huge convenience.  It’s not so easy pouring eggs out of a mixing bowl. If you have a large 4 cup mixing cup or larger, I definitely recommend add you eggs to that to make pouring them into the muffin tins easier.
  • Go wild on those ingredients and try different ways of preparing these Breakfast Egg Muffins.  Suggestions? Spinach, tomatoes, red and green peppers, sausage, bacon, ham, different types of cheese and veggies, jalapenos, cilantro, sun-dried tomatoes … the possibilities are endless!
  • Remember to run your knife around the edge of the tins before trying to remove them and then lift them gently with the knife tip under the bottom of the muffin.  The remove from the tin easily but they are still eggs so they need a little extra love.
  • You can use paper liners in your muffin tin but I find that the paper gets soggy if you are freezing your egg muffins or even keeping them in your fridge for a few days. Plan accordingly.

    I have made these a few different ways and love to freeze them. They do get a little chewy when reheated if I have originally cooked them a minute or two too long. Why do they puff like a souffle but then fall? Am I doing something wrong? Love your recipes!

    I would like to make these for sharing at a church social hour. Not everyone comes at the same time. Do you think it would be ok to put them in a crock pot to keep them warm for an hour or so? They sound wonderful and so many times there are so many sweets.

      you may be ok, but i would worry because they are already cooked by the time you place them in the crock pot so they may become chewy with the extra heat

    How do you store them separate? In a ziplock bag?

      Yes, I let them cool and then transfer them to a large ziplock and pop them in the freezer 🙂

    I made my own variations of these and froze them. Mine were still good even after 3 months in the freezer. I just finished my last one and am getting ready to make another batch. I love the ease of just grabbing one from the freezer and heating them in the microwave for quick breakfast. They taste great!

    Hi, want to make these for a work breakfast. Have you made ahead and reheated in oven or can I mix ingredients the night before and bake in morning? This will be a new favorite here!

      Hi Lola! You can mix them all together and bake in the morning or make them and reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds! I eat these every week and they always come out great reheated.

      Hahaha Phyllis, I can’t count how many times I have done this to Heather. She makes them and walks out the kitchen to find me normally on my 4th before she can bag them up. So glad your family enjoys them as much as us.

    Wow!! These turned out great. I ran into one smallish problem. I don’t wash my muffin pans after every use (I promise I”m not gross) so I used cupcake liners. I will NOT be doing that again when I definitely make these again. So glad I found this tasty recipe, it’s hard to find ready made things without onions…I’m allergic and my Honey hates them lol.

      Thanks Karen, We are so happy you enjoyed them. Let me guess the liners to mush, well that’s what we experienced when we tried it. That is why we just use the straight pan. Hope they turn out better the next go round. They are also ingredient friendly, you can put whatever you like in them, except those pesky onions lol.

    These are absolutely delicious; I love the ham in the egg muffins! I also made them using Italian sausage that had been thoroughly browned & any grease was squeezed out of the cooked sausage; along with the Italian sausage, I also added a pinch of Italian seasoning & a teeny pinch of thyme to the beaten eggs along with the sausage.
    Thank you, Heather & Michael, for something different for our breakfast. I truly enjoyed scrolling through your food blog. It is beautifully done & a so easy to go through!
