Keto Broccoli Cheddar Muffins

20 ratings

A snack or part of a savory breakfast; these broccoli cheddar muffins taste just like you want them to with minimal egg flavor. Bake them straight in the pan so the muffins gain a golden brown edge to hold in all that chopped broccoli. They’re nutritious and delicious!

    OMG!!!!! I could not use broccoli or cauliflower because my husband is allergic, so I made one batch with just cheese, he loved it then I switched it up and added nacho popcorn salt in place of salt, again we both loved it. Finally I used the nacho popcorn salt and bacon. I thought these would be a nice snack but the can be habit forming, our snack turn into our lunch.

            These look delish... I'm wondering if you could use cauliflower or spinach instead of broccoli?

                    I’ve made this over 5 times! It’s a hit. I ran out of heavy cream and subbed sour cream instead… as well as half sour cream half whipped cream cheese, and all variations of this recipe were awesome! Per other ppls recommendation, I also only use 3/4 c almond flour and I’ve had no issues with dryness.

                      Just want to say I appreciate everyone's suggestions and substitutions. Im new to this and feel bound by the recipes-makes me feel less uptight about changing it up if I want. Thanks!!

                        Just made these for the first time, pretty yummy. Next time I will use 3/4 cup almond flour for less dryness and maybe add sausage or bacon. Good on-the-go snack or lunch.

                          I reduced the almond flour to 3/4 C and the broccoli to 1 C (4 oz). Then I exchanged Heavy Cream for Light Sour Cream. I also added 1/4 tsp each of garlic powder and onion powder. They were light, fluffy and very, very good. Some of my muffins had turkey sausage added and they had soooo much great flavor. This is a new addition for my breakfast in the future. I substituted shredded parmesean cheese to 2 muffins and feta cheese crumbles to 2 muffins. Not sure which ones we love better.

                            Just use recipe creator of the app and it calculates all macros.

                            Yes, how do you calculate the macros with the changes? Does @RecipeWriter have any insight?

                            looks delicious, but can I ask you how you calculate the nutritional values for your dish? Just to learn

                          These are awesome! I have made them 3 times. For breakfast for family and also for a gathering for all my keto friends. I have perfected the recipe as I go. What has been a great success it’s to use less almond flour to make them moist and not so dry. Instead of 1 cup I used 3/4 cup and it made such a difference

                            I have tried this 2x. Each time I have batter that makes 6 normal muffins and 12 minis. Not sure why. They are very dry. Any suggestions? Is the 5oz broccoli by weight or in cups? Thinking I have way more than the pic using scale to weigh 5oz

                              These are great! I use a bit more salt & pepper, add some garlic & onion powder. I also add some grated Parmesan cheese. I substitute the butter for coconut oil. I then put them in mini muffin tins. 3 minis equals 1 muffin. Perfect size for a quick snack. I cook at same temperature, but only 15 minutes at 350 and then 10 minutes at 325.

                                Just made these last night to have for breakfast. They were very easy to make, although they did stick to the pan a little so I think I will use something different than the spray next time. They reheated nicely. I like the broccoli flavor but can’t taste the cheese at all. And they are a little dry for my tastes. Any suggestions on how to change that are welcome. In all honesty I will be making them again because they were easy to make and then just grab on my way out the door. But as far as flavor I will need to tweak the recipe a little.

                                  I used an extra sharp cheddar and added garlic and onion powder for flavor

                                  Maybe sour cream added to recipe or right on top of muffin??
