Savory Keto Breakfast Cookies
✨ Breakfast That Makes Cozy Memories
I have such clear, vivid memories surrounding delicious breakfasts during hectic mornings. Growing up, mornings were always a blur in my family—three kids, rushing out the door, backpacks flying, and mom calling after us not to forget breakfast. She always insisted we at least grab something warm and satisfying to start our day right.
Fast forward to my culinary journey, busy mornings in culinary school were exactly the same—no time but still craving something comforting and savory before a long day in the kitchen. That’s when I first fell in love with the magical combination of eggs, sausage, cheese, and veggies baked to perfection into handheld beauties.
These Keto Breakfast Cookies remind me so much of those hurried mornings. They’re comfort food, reinvented to fit into a healthy, quick, keto-friendly lifestyle. Even better, they’re freezer-friendly, providing you that cozy, home-cooked feeling anytime you want, without the hassle. Bake a batch now, thank me later!
Let’s hop right into it, shall we?
🧾 Your Savory Keto Breakfast Cookies Shopping List (Makes 12 Cookies):
You’ll need just a handful of easy ingredients:
– 4 oz pork sausage (your favorite breakfast sausage will do!)
– ½ cup onion, finely chopped
– ½ cup green bell peppers, finely chopped
– ¾ cup almond flour (a keto kitchen staple!)
– ½ tsp salt
– ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (feel free to experiment with other cheeses!)
👩🍳 How to Whip Up Your Savory Keto Breakfast Cookies:
Let’s get cooking! Don’t worry, these are a cinch to make, even on busy weekdays!
Step 1 – Prep the Kitchen
First, preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to make cleanup a breeze!
Step 2 – Cook the Sausage & Veggie Goodness
In a skillet, crumble and cook your breakfast sausage until it’s browned nicely. Toss in your chopped onions and green peppers, sautéing just until veggies turn soft and fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool.
Step 3 – Mix Your Dry Ingredients
While the sausage mixture cools, grab a mixing bowl and combine your almond flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Whisk gently just to combine—easy-peasy!
Step 4 – Whisk Up the Egg Mixture
In another bowl, whisk your eggs until nicely beaten. Stir in ½ cup of that yummy shredded cheddar cheese (set the rest aside—it’ll top those cookies!).
Step 5 – Form Your Keto Cookie Dough
Pour your egg-and-cheese mixture into the dry mixture and stir together until a nice, thick, sticky dough forms. Fold in the cooled sausage and veggies until evenly distributed.
Step 6 – Shape & Bake
Drop generous spoonfuls of the dough onto your prepared baking sheet—aim for about 3 inches wide. Flatten slightly with a spoon or your fingers (a little water on your fingers keeps dough from sticking!). Sprinkle each cookie with the reserved cheddar cheese.
Pop into your preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, just until they puff slightly and turn golden brown around the edges. Cue the heavenly aroma!
Step 7 – Cool & Store
Allow the breakfast cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. Stored in an airtight container, they’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to five days, or you can freeze them for up to three months. Say goodbye forever to skipped breakfasts!
🥗 Serving & Pairing Ideas:
These mouth-watering keto breakfast cookies are delightful all on their own! But if you really want to elevate your breakfast experience, here are some delicious pairings I recommend:
1. Sliced avocado or fresh guacamole on the side (healthy fats for the win!)
2. A dollop of sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt.
3. Enjoyed alongside a simple low-carb salad like fresh spinach or arugula tossed with lemon juice and olive oil.
4. Packed along with your favorite keto smoothie or iced coffee to power your morning commute!
