How to Make Keto Muffins

These low carb muffins are so easy! First, steam some broccoli until slightly soft. While your broccoli is steaming, combine your cream cheese, shredded cheddar and eggs. Stir in the broccoli. Next, fold in the coconut flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Very importantly, next you will chill the dough. This step is essential! Following this, spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray and scoop your mixture into the tin. Bake for 15-17 minutes at 350 degrees and you’re done!

Is broccoli keto?

Yes! Broccoli is a naturally low carb vegetable. It is also loaded with fiber, minerals and vitamins, making this an excellent healthy snack!

Can you meal prep low carb cheesy bread?

Yes! These keto muffins are perfect for meal prep. You can make broccoli cheddar muffins beforehand and store them in the fridge in either a glass or plastic container with an airtight lid. These muffins will stay fresh for up to five days. You can also prep these muffins and freeze them! Simply scoop the mixture onto a baking tray and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a plastic bag and bake when you are ready to serve. Add an addition 5-7 minutes to your baking time if making from frozen.

What to serve with keto bread

As you guys may know, I am obsessed with soup, so that’s what I served with these yummy broccoli muffins! Tomato soup is perfect for this time of year, but I made this Instant Pot Chicken Spinach Soup last week and I think these keto muffins would be the perfect side dish. This One Pan Cheesy Pasta would also be the perfect dinner to pair with this cheesy bread. If you’re looking for a kid-friendly meal, make these Keto Chicken Tenders with these broccoli bites for a protein and veggie packed meal!
