Low Carb Broccoli Cheddar Muffins

May 3, 2018 by officially gluten free 4 Comments

Low Carb Broccoli Cheddar Muffins

These 90 Calorie Gluten Free, Keto and Low Carb Broccoli Cheddar Muffins only have .8 g of Carbs and are loaded with 7.2 g of Fat and 5.5g of Protein per Muffin. The best part is they taste amazing. They’re so simple and easy to make and are totally guilt free.  They taste more like bread than a traditional egg muffin, which is nice considering that there isn’t any flours or starches added. They use a mixture of crumbled up Pork Rind or Bacon Puff and Parmesan cheese instead. This makes a surprisingly delicious bread like texture, who knew!

You’ll love how easy these savory muffins are to make. Just beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Then add the Crushed Pork Rinds and the Parmesan Cheese. Mix until well combined, then add in the Steamed Broccoli and 2 of the 3 Tbsp of Butter. Stir until the Broccoli is fully mixed in.

Use the remaining melted butter to grease the muffin tin. Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin tin. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly onto each muffin. Then bake for 8 – 10 minutes.

These Gluten Free, Keto & Low Carb Broccoli Cheddar Muffins are loaded with flavor and provide a nutritious hit of healthy fats and protein. They can be made with many variations. You could use mushrooms or cauliflower instead of the broccoli and you could trade the cheddar cheese for something a little more flavorful like Havarti or Monterey Jack. You could also skip the veggies and just make cheesy muffins instead.  You can have them for Breakfast, as a Quick On-The-Go Snack, or a Delicious Keto Appetizer or Side Dish.

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis. While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

If you love Low Carb Appetizers, then you’ll want to try out these Bacon Crab Rangoon Fat Bombs.  They’re a bite-sized Fat Bomb that’s loaded with flavor and provides a nutritious hit of healthy fats.

    We don’t eat pork. What can we substitute for the pork rinds? I was thinking coconut or almond flour os psyllium husk fiber.

      Yes, I would use coconut or almond flour instead or you could just skip that step altogether and make more of an eggy muffin.
