Sausage Egg and Cheese Bites (low carb + KETO)
Quick, low carb breakfast options can be a tricky thing to master. When you think of a grab and go breakfast it generally consists of muffins or pastries. Lighter options might include yogurt and fruit but if you are watching your carbs even those can add up quickly. These delicious Sausage Egg and Cheese Bites are packed with protein and super easy.
Quick, Easy, and Amazing! That is the only way to describe these Egg and Sausage Breakfast Bites. These are super for quick weekend breakfast before sports, or school day breakfasts when you are in a rush to get out the door.
Really these are just a matter of whipping up the ingredients and popping them in a muffin tin to bake! It’s just that simple. You could even pop these in between a biscuit and make a breakfast sandwich for on the go! The kids LOVE them, my hubby loved them. DEFINITELY a keeper!
The ingredient list for these cheesy bites is really simple. Sausage, eggs, cream cheese, cheese and coconut flour. That makes these KETO and gluten free and they freeze and reheat really well so you can add them to your meal prep list!
If you are actually following a Keto diet here is the nitty gritty on the carbs. According to my recipe calculator each bite (this makes 32 equal size bites with my small cookie dough scoop) has 1.2 grams of carbs and 0.5 grams of fiber. Making each little bite just 0.70 net carb, so even if you pop five of these delicious bites you are only at 3.5 carbs. Check just below the recipe card for the nutrition breakdown.
