33 Keto Breakfasts That'll Keep You Full All Morning
A diet that includes bacon is one we can get down with.
Imagine this: The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and you're ready to start another day killing it on your keto diet… until it dawns on you, Uh oh, what’s for breakfast? Sound familiar? It’s never a good idea to not have a plan when it comes to keeping things keto. Sometimes it leads us to eating something boring and unsatisfying, or, the horror—skipping breakfast altogether. Don’t let this happen to you. Whether you’re new to keto or are an old pro, find some inspiration with our list of 33 keto breakfasts to help you start your day off right.
Secret ingredients are the name of the game here; your mind will be blown when you see what we’ve done with mozzarella or zucchini. Cauliflower also gets a lot of play, of course, and we’re not mad about it. We’ve used it for breakfast pizza, avocado toast, hash browns… is there anything cauliflower can’t do?
Are you looking for something sweeter? Giving up carbs doesn’t have to mean fighting your sweet tooth in the morning. Check out our top keto sweeteners, and prepare to have the world of sweet breakfasts open back up to you. We’ve got pancakes, waffles, and cinnamon rolls when you’re craving fancy brunch options, or cereal and smoothies for those more low-key mornings.
Nothing says breakfast like eggs and bacon—luckily, they’re also perfect low-carb, high-protein options. Turn them into our bacon, egg, & cheese roll-ups, our frico fried egg tostadas tacos, or our egg muffins for a solid grab-and-go breakfast that’ll keep you feeling full all morning. Cooking for a low-carb crowd? Try our keto breakfast casserole, our classic frittata, or our loaded cauliflower bake. They’re super-simple to throw together, and are sure to wow your guests.

Chia Pudding

Keto Cinnamon Rolls
We know, we know, cheese in a should-be sweet morning bun sounds wrong. But trust us, it really works. Stretchy mozzarella helps add some of the fluffy chew so that they're not totally crumbly. The end result is a sinfully delicious and cinnamon-y roll that has no business being keto.

Best-Ever Egg Muffins
Egg muffins are one of the BEST healthy breakfasts for meal prepping because you easily make a big batch of them at once. They will keep in your fridge for up to 7 days, so you can grab them on your way out the door all week!

Keto Pancakes
Lots of keto pancake recipes use basically two ingredients: eggs and cream cheese, which make them a little eggy and way more tangy than we like. Almond flour makes these a bit more cake-y, and lemon zest adds another layer of flavor that makes them completely irresistible.
Get the Keto Pancakes recipe.
Bunless Bacon, Egg & Cheese
True genius move: Using the egg for the bun on this version of a classic breakfast sandwich. We loaded ours up with bacon, cheddar, and avocado, but go for some of your favorite fillings! Sausage and Gruyère would be killer too.

Get the Gluten-Free Pop-Tarts recipe.
Keto Smoothie
Raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries are lower in carbs than other popular smoothie fruits like bananas, pineapples, and mangoes. Add fat with coconut milk, and feel even better about your healthy breakfast with baby spinach (or kale!).
