Ingredients for Quick and Easy Keto Egg Muffins
Here’s everything you’ll need—and yes, I’m very particular about these measurements! These proportions give you that perfect fluffy-yet-substantial texture:
- 6 large eggs, whisked until just combined (don’t overbeat!)
- ½ cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (I use spicy Italian for extra kick)
- ¼ red onion, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped—pack it lightly!
- ½ green bell pepper, diced small (about ¼ cup)
- ½ cup mushrooms, chopped (baby bellas are my go-to)
- ½ teaspoon turmeric (for color and that anti-inflammatory boost)
- 1 scoop Perfect Keto MCT Oil Powder (trust me, this keeps ’em moist)
Pro tip: Prep all your veggies before cracking eggs—it makes the whole process smoother!
Equipment Needed
You probably already have everything you need for these Quick and Easy Keto Egg Muffins—no fancy gadgets required! Here’s my short-and-sweet list:
- Standard 12-cup muffin pan (though we’re only using 9 cups)
- Mixing bowl (I grab my trusty 4-quart glass one)
- Whisk (or fork in a pinch!)
- Measuring cups/spoons
That’s it—told you this was easy! Now let’s get cooking.
How to Make Quick and Easy Keto Egg Muffins
Alright, let’s get these muffins going! I promise, it’s so simple even my 10-year-old niece can do it. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a tray of golden, fluffy muffins in no time.
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
First things first—prep is key! Chop your red onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and spinach into small, bite-sized pieces. If you haven’t already, cook and crumble your breakfast sausage. I like to do this the night before to save time. Trust me, having everything ready to go makes the whole process a breeze.
Step 2: Mix the Egg Base
Grab your mixing bowl and crack in those 6 eggs. Whisk them just until combined—don’t overdo it! Now, toss in your prepped veggies, sausage, turmeric, and that scoop of Perfect Keto MCT Oil Powder. Stir everything together until it’s well mixed but not overworked. You want that perfect balance of fluffy and hearty.
Step 3: Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 350℉ and grease your muffin pan (I use avocado oil spray—works like a charm). Pour the egg mixture evenly into 9 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Pop them in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool for 5 minutes before digging in—patience, my friend, patience!
Tips for Perfect Quick and Easy Keto Egg Muffins
Want to nail these muffins every single time? Here are my go-to tricks for flawless results:
- Don’t overfill: Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full—this gives them room to puff up without spilling over.
- Pre-chopped veggies: Save time by grabbing pre-chopped spinach or bell peppers from the store. (No shame in shortcuts!)
- Grease well: Use a good nonstick spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking—nothing’s worse than muffins glued to the pan.
- Cool before removing: Let them sit for 5 minutes after baking—they’ll firm up and slide out easily.
Oh, and if you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top before baking. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!
Variations for Quick and Easy Keto Egg Muffins
One of my favorite things about these muffins? You can totally make them your own! Here are some delicious twists I’ve tried—and loved:
- Bacon instead of sausage: Swap in crispy bacon crumbles (because everything’s better with bacon, right?).
- Cheese lovers: Toss in ¼ cup shredded cheddar or crumbled feta before baking—melty perfection!
- Veggie mix-up: Try diced zucchini, roasted red peppers, or even sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
- Herb boost: Fresh chives, basil, or a pinch of Italian seasoning take these muffins next-level.
The possibilities are endless—have fun with it and make these muffins your signature breakfast!
Serving and Storing Quick and Easy Keto Egg Muffins
These muffins are just as good on day two (or three!) as they are fresh out of the oven. For storing, let them cool completely, then pop them in an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 4 days—perfect for grab-and-go mornings. Need to save them longer? Freeze them! Just wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. To reheat, microwave for 30-60 seconds or warm in a 350℉ oven for 10 minutes. Easy peasy!
