Are you following the keto diet? If so, you have probably experienced the challenge of finding keto breakfast recipes that are interesting, delicious, and diverse.
Keto is a great way of eating, and you can enjoy so many delicious and filling foods. Whether you’re eating keto to lose weight or for other reasons, some of the best keto recipes are for breakfast. From rich vegetables to savory meats, there is something for everyone on the keto diet.
On one hand, it’s easy enough to eat eggs and bacon every day (and who doesn’t love that?).
On the other hand, sometimes you may be craving something a little different now and again.
Embarking on a ketogenic journey means adjusting one’s eating habits to ensure daily meals consist predominantly of low-carb, high-fat foods. This dietary change can be particularly challenging during breakfast, as many traditional options tend to be carb-heavy. However, with a little creativity and preparation, one can enjoy a variety of delicious and satisfying keto-approved breakfast dishes.
A well-planned keto breakfast can provide both the energy and nutrients needed to fuel a productive day, while keeping those on this popular diet within their ideal macronutrient range. With a focus on nutritious ingredients such as eggs, avocados, nuts, and seeds, these morning meals have the potential to become diverse, appetizing, and enjoyable.
Variety is the spice of life, right?
We scoured the internet and found 31 delicious and nutritious easy keto breakfast recipes.
There is something for everyone on this excellent list of the best keto breakfast foods.
Whether you’re a vegetarian or a devoted carnivore, you will find something here that is the perfect easy keto breakfast.
Let’s dive in and check out all of these amazing keto breakfast foods!
Most of what makes crepes decadent are the things we love to top them with.
It’s actually easy to make keto crepes when you use almond flour, and there is a bonus to making your crepes with this versatile flour. They stay flexible in the fridge even after a few days.
Another key ingredient in these crepes is cream cheese. The liquid used is unsweetened almond milk.
These crepes are the perfect breakfast or brunch dish, and you can also serve them as a dessert.
To make a savory breakfast meal, you can use these crepes without any sweetener and make a breakfast burrito.
When you want a hearty vegetarian option, this breakfast casserole with mushrooms, eggs, goat cheese, and spinach will hit the spot.
This breakfast casserole is great to serve when you have company because the ingredients feel a bit luxurious.
The great thing about this casserole is that it’s completely customizable. If you don’t have goat cheese on hand, you can use cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, or even Parmesan or fontina cheese.
For the milk, you can use unsweetened almond milk if you prefer that.
The blueberry muffin is a timeless breakfast treat. However, traditional blueberry muffins have too much sugar.
If you love blueberry muffins, take heart. You can still enjoy this beloved muffin when you’re following a keto diet.
Moreover, these muffins are made with almond flour, so they are also gluten-free.
You can use your choice of milk, whether regular milk or almond milk.
To make these blueberry muffins vegan, you can also use vegan egg options such as a flax egg.
When blueberries are in season, these keto breakfast muffins are delicious with fresh blueberries. However, you can also use frozen blueberries to make the perfect blueberry muffin.
The best thing about following a keto diet is that it can be incredibly versatile.
You don’t have to give up all of your favorite foods when you’re looking for an easy keto breakfast. All you need to do is tweak the recipes a little bit.
Have you been looking for the perfect keto pancake recipe? These delicious keto pancakes have only six ingredients and they’re made with coconut flour and almond flour.
We love a filling pancake breakfast and keto pancakes are super easy to make.
For the topping, you can use sugar-free maple syrup or top your keto pancakes with whipped cream, berries, and nuts.
As delicious as a hearty breakfast casserole, a frittata is just as filling and a little bit fancier sounding.
This savory spinach frittata gets tons of flavor from bacon and goat cheese, plus it’s gluten-free and low carb.
If you don’t have fresh spinach, that’s totally fine. You can use frozen spinach for this recipe. Just be sure to thaw the spinach and squeeze out the excess water before you add it to the recipe.
For extra flavor, toss in some cooked chorizo if you have some in the fridge or freezer.
Who said you can’t have salads for breakfast? Hey, you make the rules, so enjoy whatever you want.
We love this salad because it’s like a BLT on a bed of healthy greens.
The greens in this recipe are kale, and the salad has poached eggs (or a fried egg), bacon, ripe avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes.
This recipe comes with a special recipe for a cooked dressing that has white wine vinegar, goat cheese, mayo, and olive oil. However, you can use a store-bought dressing if you prefer.
To make this an even heartier meal, serve it with a keto bagel with cream cheese.
Eggs have been a favorite breakfast food for centuries, and these little breakfast bites made from hard-boiled eggs are as cute as they are nutritious.
Who doesn’t love a cute and yummy little egg bite?
To make these, all you have to do is hard-boil your eggs (or make them in an egg cooker). Then, cut them in half and stuff them with cheese and bacon.
To make these breakfast bites, you can use whatever type of cheese you like, including cheddar cheese or American cheese.
The recipe calls for mayonnaise, but you can technically skip the mayo if you like.
Bacon, scrambled eggs, and avocado. Sounds like heaven to us. How about you?
One great thing about this recipe is that you are upping your good fat by adding some sour cream to your eggs.
The sour cream makes the eggs super creamy. You can also stir in a bit of cream cheese for extra creaminess.
When the eggs are cooked in bacon grease, you use some of your bacon grease so it doesn’t go to waste.
Be sure to cook your eggs slow and low in a good-quality nonstick skillet. Scrambled eggs cooked this way are fluffy and soft, just like they should be.
You get not just the nutrition from the seeds and milk, but also the collagen. This recipe is a win/win.
We love recipes that offer options, and with this keto oatmeal recipe, you can make your oatmeal four different ways: strawberries and cream, maple pecan, cinnamon roll flavored, or chocolate peanut butter.
We love overnight oats because it’s so easy to have a breakfast already prepared for us and ready to go the next morning.
To make overnight oats, you don’t cook them in the microwave or on the stovetop. Instead, you soak your oats in liquid overnight to make them nice and soft.
How easy is that?
The good news is that you can make overnight oats that are keto-friendly and low carb.
This recipe is awesome because it’s easy to customize. With just five ingredients, you can use add-ins to make eight different flavors.
