How to Make Keto Egg Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-slot muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, cream, salt, and pepper.
  3. Fold in cheese, bacon, and spinach (or any other add-ins).
  4. Pour evenly into muffin slots. Fill each about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until set in the center. Let cool slightly before removing.

Storage & Meal Prep Tips

  • Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in microwave for 30–60 seconds.
  • Perfect for batch cooking — double the recipe for the week.
  • Pack them in lunchboxes or grab as a post-workout snack.

Nutritionist’s Note + Pro Tips

Eggs are nature’s multivitamin — packed with protein, B vitamins, and healthy fats. Pairing them with high-fat ingredients keeps you satiated and in ketosis. This is one of the most efficient fat-burning breakfast options available.

  • Pro Tip: Use silicone muffin liners to avoid sticking.
  • Pro Tip: Sneak in some microgreens or collagen powder for added nutrition.
  • Science Fact: Cholesterol from eggs doesn’t raise your blood cholesterol — your liver balances it naturally.
