How To Make Egg Muffins
Keto breakfast egg muffins with bacon are surprisingly simple to throw together at the start of the week. Whether you are making them for a weekend brunch or the week ahead, you don’t have your work cut out for you!
Start by combining your eggs, heavy cream, dry mustard powder, and pepper. Whisk this mixture until it is well combined. The cream will help fluff up the eggs, creating a fluffier keto egg muffin that isn’t as dense.
Grease your muffin tin very well with cooking spray or olive oil. You don’t want your bacon egg muffins to stick! Next, create your muffins by dividing the bacon, cheese, and green onions throughout the cups.
Then, pour your egg mixture evenly throughout the cups. Bake your keto egg muffins in a 375 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes or until your eggs are set. They’ll puff up nice and big and will sink down a bit once they cool.
Serve immediately or allow them to cook and refrigerate them for up to 5 days.
Can You Freeze Egg Muffins?
To reheat your keto egg muffins, place them in the microwave for 30-45 seconds from fresh or 1-1 ½ minutes from frozen. Enjoy!
Short answer, you sure can! I love making keto egg muffins in advance and freezing them for up to a month in advance.
Allow your bacon egg muffins to cool completely before you freeze them. Place them in a freezer bag and label it before you freeze them.
When you reheat low carb egg muffins, you will need a little bit longer than if they are fresh.

How many muffins do you consider a serving?
2 muffins is one serving.
It says there are 12 servings. I would say 1
So glad you loved them Marcella, we couldn’t just have one either!
Could you make these with diced ham instead of bacon? If so, how much would you use? A 1/2 cup or 1 cup maybe?
I have only tried this recipe as written, but ham sounds delicious. I would use 1 cup of diced ham.
I make them with everything. You can switch out the proteins or remove them. I add garlic to
Mine.
Yum, LOVE garlic! Great idea Shari!
Are these Texas muffin trays or normal patty trays
These are regular muffin tins Di. Enjoy!
We decided to make these with what we had on hand:
Used extra large eggs-made 18 muffins. We made them with diced ham and spinach. Added chopped up tomato to just three of them-wish I’d done more. Used 2% milk, didn’t have cream. Added 1/4 tsp. each garlic and onion powder (didn’t have green onions or dry mustard.)
Delicious!!
Already thinking about other add-ins like mushrooms, sausage, artichoke hearts, jalapeños…
These are so great and versatile Karin. I’m so happy to hear you love them!
I make those with diced ham, often.
I use the red silicone muffin pans. The muffins slide out easily. No greasing required.
Great idea Patricia! Thank you for sharing.
To freeze them, do you do it before or after baking them?
Prepare your bacon egg muffins and allow them to cool completely before you freeze them. Place them in a freezer bag. To reheat your keto egg muffins, place them in the microwave for 1-1 1/2 minutes from frozen. Enjoy Julia!
I’ve just put these in the oven. In Australia we must have bigger rashers of bacon I only needed to use three, though did not cook them prior to putting into tins and only needed 11 x 60 gm eggs.
Thank you for sharing Cheryl! Enjoy!
Did I see 12 eggs on the recipe? Is that correct?
Yes, this recipe uses 12 eggs. Enjoy Uvi!
Are these gluten free?
So long as you confirm that none of the ingredients contain gluten, you should be good. Occasionally, spices and cheese (pre-shredded) may contain gluten. Always best to check each ingredient. Enjoy Michelle!
Can you make these in mini muffin tins?
Would you reduce heat or cook time?
While I have only made the recipe as written, I think mini versions will work well. I’d check them at about 8 minutes, and bake until set. Let us know if you try as mini-muffins Lissa!
Great to have pre-prepared foods on this Keto lifestyle. Thanks so much. Great for kids too.
You’re welcome Diane! Glad to hear you and your kids love these!
If you don’t freeze these – about how long will they last?
These will last in the fridge for about 5 days Berkeley. Enjoy!
I made these, so yummy. I put Bacon, cheese, tomato, spinach, onion & garlic . I used 1% milk & 12 X Large Eggs. I got 24 muffins. They are soooooo delish!!!!
Great substitutions Kathy! That sounds delicious.
Delicious! I added mushrooms, red peppers, which I cooked separately, and tomatoes.
Thank you for sharing and comments were helpful too! ❤️❤️
Those additions sound delicious Robin! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi I’m from uk can you use skimmed milk or semi skimmed milk instead of cream?
Donna, we’ve only made this recipe with cream. If you try making this recipe with skimmed milk let us know!
I’m making about 80 of these 4 a Brunch… Can these be warmed up all together in the oven!!
Wow! You are cooking up a storm Kellie, that’s awesome! You can warm them up all together in the oven. We have not tried with this quantity so you may want to allow a little extra time to ensure they are all warmed up!
