Mornings are for making choices. Pancakes, muffins, and pizza for breakfast may sound like your childhood dream breakfast, and guess what – now you can make your dreams come true.

So let’s see what’s on the menu.

Blueberry Keto Muffins

These Keto blueberry muffins are a delightful treat that is worth getting out of bed for. These gluten-free, low-carb muffins have a lusciously rich texture thanks to plenty of butter and cream.

Ingredients (9 muffins):

• 2 ½ cups finely ground almond flour (280 g)

• ¼ teaspoon baking powder (1.25 g)

• ½ teaspoon salt (2.5 g)

• 1 egg

• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature (60 g)

• 3/4 cup heavy cream (180 ml)

• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (1.25 g)

• 4 drops of liquid stevia (or less)

• ½ teaspoon baking soda (2.5 g)

• ½ cup fresh, small blueberries (optional) (70 g)

How to prepare:

Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C and line a muffin pan with 9 paper liners, or use a silicone muffin pan. Combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, heavy cream, egg, almond extract, stevia, and baking soda. Stir gently to combine the almond flour mixture and the wet ingredients. The batter will be fairly thick. Fill the muffin cups almost all the way to the top with the batter. Bake for about 16 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted into one comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving. Store these keto products in the refrigerator for maximum freshness.

Bacon Pancakes 

These flavourful bacon pancakes are topped with sour cream, chives, and a splash of hot sauce. They’re a great weekend breakfast as they’re fluffy and salty.

Ingredients:

• 6 slices of bacon

• 3 egg whites

• 1/4 cup coconut flour (30g)

• 1 tablespoon purified granular gelatin (like this) (15 ml)

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (30 ml)

• 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives (30 ml)

• 1/2 cup water (120 ml)

• Optional: 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream for topping

How to prepare:

In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon. Allow the bacon fat to remain in the pan. Set aside the bacon, which should be crumbled or finely chopped. Whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks (an electric mixer works well for this). Place aside. Combine the coconut flour, gelatin, butter, chives, and bacon in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the water thoroughly, then gently fold in the egg whites until combined. The batter will be lumpy and thick. In the frying pan, reheat the bacon fat over medium heat. Scoop small amounts of batter (about 2 tablespoons) into the pan, gently smoothing it out with a spoon to form small pancakes. Set a 3-inch biscuit cutter in the frying pan and drop the batter in.

Homemade Breakfast Sausage

Homemade sausage is free of sugar and additives, and it can be made in advance and stored in a freezer for convenience. These savory patties are filling enough and don’t need to be served with eggs.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of ground pork

• 1/2 tablespoon salt

• 1/2 tablespoon fennel

• 2 teaspoons pepper

• 1 teaspoon dried sage

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

How to prepare:

Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Mix spices in with the ground pork until all combined. Use ground pork mixture in breakfast skillets, or freeze or heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Form patties 1/3 inch thick and place in a hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook sausage patties for 4-6 minutes on each side, until no pink remains in the middle. Serve immediately, store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for meal prep later!

Summer Breakfast Meatloaf

Meatloaf is a simple breakfast to prepare in advance and have each morning for a protein-rich start to the day.

Ingredients: 

• 1 pound of ground beef

• 10–12 ounces bulk pork breakfast sausage

• 1 tablespoon bacon fat (or other fat)

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 yellow onion, diced

• 1 medium zucchini, diced

• 4 ounces of button mushrooms, sliced

• 2 tablespoons dried parsley

• 2 tablespoons dried basil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• salt and pepper, to taste

How to prepare:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fat along with 2 garlic cloves and diced onion. Once the onions begin to become translucent, add diced zucchini and cover to help steam the zucchini. After about 3-4 minutes, add the mushrooms on top and cover again for about 4-5 more minutes. Once vegetables have softened, add parsley, basil, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Mix well then remove from heat to cool. Once vegetables are cool, add ground beef, breakfast sausage, and cooled vegetables to a large bowl and get dirty with your hands. Mix well to combine, trying not to squish the zucchini too much. Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper and place the meat mixture into the dish. Press firmly to make sure it all sticks together and to keep it from falling apart. Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the meat presses back at you when you poke it. Let sit for 10 minutes after baking.

• 1 small red onion, very thinly sliced

• 1/3 cup or more crumbled feta

How to prepare:
