These keto cottage cheese breakfast muffins are the perfect recipe to make in advance to have breakfast ready to go for the week ahead. Eat them fresh out of the oven or store in the fridge and grab a couple on your way out the door (they’re a fantastic keto breakfasts for on-the-go).
Packed with 9g of protein and only 2g net carbs per muffin, they’re sure to keep you feeling nice and satisfied throughout your morning. The cottage cheese ensures they have a lovely moist texture and full body, plus it adds a good dose of protein to the mix! They’re easily one of my very favorite keto cottage cheese recipes.
Everyone I’ve made these for have loved them – even my picky little nieces and nephews!
What substitutions can you make to keto breakfast muffins?
The great thing about breakfast egg muffins is that they’re very versatile. You can easily substitute the bacon for diced ham.
Additionally, you can swap the cottage cheese for ricotta cheese, or the cheddar cheese for mozzarella cheese. You could also add any of your favourite vegetables or extra seasonings that you wish. I find that a few bits of cherry or grape tomatoes goes great along with some baby spinach leaves. I often also bolster the base with some finely chopped onion.
How do you keep these keto cottage cheese breakfast muffins from drying out?
Keeping them in an airtight container in the fridge will stop these from getting too dry. If you do leave them out, or find they have dried out for any reason it can be hard to get the moisture back in. In that case, eating them with some condiments does the trick. I love my homemade ketchup or relish, and these go great with either!
How long will they keep in the fridge?
These muffins will last in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave for about 20 – 30 seconds. You can eat them cold too, but I don’t think they’re nearly as yummy that way.
