Ingredients for Keto Egg Bites
Here’s a brief rundown of what you’ll need. For exact amounts, refer to the printable recipe card towards the bottom of the page.
Eggs: Use large eggs. If you’re egg-free, you can use egg replacements. For egg white-only versions, substitute each egg with 2 egg whites.
Cream Cheese: Opt for full-fat or low-fat cream cheese, and let it come to room temperature before using.
Cooked Bacon: You can use candied bacon, crispy prosciutto, or any other meat you prefer. Store-bought bacon bits can also be used for convenience.
Shredded Cheese: A mix of pepper jack and cheddar is my go-to for a sharp, slightly spicy flavor. Feel free to use havarti, swiss, mozzarella, or any cheese that melts well, avoiding crumbly options like blue cheese or feta.
Coconut Flour (or Almond Flour): Coconut flour creates fluffy, light bites, while almond flour results in denser bites. Both are gluten-free and low-carb, so choose based on your preference.
Baking Powder: This ingredient adds lift and structure, ensuring your keto egg bites are fluffy.
You’ll also need a mixing bowl, a mini muffin pan (or two), and non-stick spray.
What to Serve with Keto Egg Bites?
Pair these nutritious egg bites with a handful of fresh berries and a delicious Keto Frappuccino for a perfect meal. If you enjoy a touch of sweetness at breakfast, consider adding a Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait, which has under 5 net carbs. For a quick and satisfying snack, try some Grain-Free Granola—ideal for those extra hungry moments.
Storage
Keep your bacon, egg, and cheese bites fresh for 3-4 days by storing them in an airtight container in the fridge. Ensure they are completely cooled before sealing them, as residual heat can create moisture that leads to sogginess and a denser texture.
Can I Freeze Egg Bites?
Absolutely! These egg bites freeze well and retain their texture when thawed and reheated. Allow them to cool fully before freezing to avoid condensation and freezer burn. Freeze on a baking sheet or plate for 1-2 hours before transferring to a freezer bag to prevent sticking. Enjoy within 3 months for optimal taste and texture.
Reheating
Reheat your egg bites by microwaving them in 15-second increments at 80% power until warmed through. They can also be microwaved directly from frozen for a quick breakfast option.
How Many Carbs Are in These Keto Egg Bites?
Each egg bite contains just 1.4g of carbs with 0.6g of fiber, totaling a net of 0.8 net carbs per bite. Consuming 5 bites adds only 4 net carbs to your daily intake.
Tips for Making Homemade Egg Bites
- I recommend using a silicone mini muffin tin for this recipe; it ensures that nothing sticks, and the egg bites pop out easily.
- Avoid overfilling the muffin tin. These bites are designed to be small for easy portion control and snacking. Fill the cavities only 3/4 full to prevent spills and yield more bites.
- This recipe makes 24 mini muffins packed with crispy bacon and cheese. For larger muffins, use a regular-sized tin and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- I prefer a blend of cheddar and pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick, but feel free to substitute with your favorite cheeses.
