Keto Sausage and Cheese Mini Muffin Ingredients

Breakfast sausage: You’ll need one pound of breakfast sausage or your sausage of choice.

Shredded Cheddar Cheese: For this recipe, I used 2 cups of sharp shredded cheddar for added flavor.

Sour cream: You’ll also need 2 tablespoons of sour cream.

Butter: Breakfast always needs a little bit of butter, add 4 tablespoons of melted butter.

Eggs: This recipe calls for 4 eggs to keep your mixture together and add another breakfast staple.

Coconut flour: To keep this recipe light, I’ve opted for ½ a cup of coconut flour.

Baking powder: You’ll also need a dash of baking powder, ½ teaspoon should do the trick.

Salt: Everything is better with a bit of salt! ¼ teaspoon should be enough to add a bit of flavor.

Questions you might have

How can I make my keto sausage and cheese mini muffins last longer?

These muffins are freezable! You can store them for up to a week in your fridge in an airtight container. Or you can freeze your muffins and bake them whenever.

What can I do if I don’t have a muffin tin?

You can still make keto sausage and cheese mini muffins without a tin! They might lose their shape, but using a 1-inch scoop you can place your muffin mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake. You might want to check on them or adjust your baking time to prevent over-browning.

Do I need to use coconut flour?

You can use almond flour instead of coconut in a pinch. If you’re opting for almond flour, just know that it’s not a 1:1 swap. The conversion is one part coconut flour to four parts almond flour. You may need to cut the eggs in half when using almond flour because it is not as absorbent as coconut flour.

However, keep in mind that coconut flour will keep your keto sausage and cheese mini muffins lighter and fluffier with lower net carbs.
