breakfast can be hard on the keto diet for one
you're running out the door you don't have a lot of time you're busy you want something quick
and two you get kind of tired you fall into this rut of eating the same thing over and over
again for me that's bacon and eggs i know that is for a lot of you guys because it is one
of the most common questions people ask is what can i have for breakfast other than bacon
and eggs and i'm gonna solve that for you today i wanna share with you guys my favorite keto
breakfast recipes that aren't just bacon and eggs and i feel like there's a lot of you out there
that either struggle with eggs because you don't like the taste or flavor you're allergic or you
have a sensitivity to it like mike on instagram he reached out to me and wanted some suggestions
that he could have for breakfast looking for maybe some yogurt or something else that didn't involve
eggs so this video is for you mike but there is a caveat not all these recipes are going to be 100
egg free but it just this breaks up the monotony of having eggs and bacon every morning we're
going to go over the macros for each of these keto breakfast recipes and i'm going to share with
you guys my favorite breakfast the first recipe let's talk about is a chuffle now you guys have
probably already heard of this unless you're new to the keto diet and i've done several videos on
keto truffles out there a truffle is a keto waffle that is primarily made up of egg and cheese and
we do add other ingredients to it so it's not so eggy and cheesy like i like to add almond flour to
mine you can add coconut flour if you want there's many different flavors you could add to make it
maybe chocolate or peanut butter but that is one option that you could have for breakfast they're
quick they're easy you can make them in under five minutes so here we go for my basic truffle recipe
you're gonna need one egg and then you're gonna add a half a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and
two tablespoons of almond flour and then a half a teaspoon of baking powder mix that together until
it's combined and then we're gonna pour this into our waffle maker now you have options when it
comes to using a waffle maker i like to use the mini dash waffle maker because it makes it like an
eggo size but you could use like a belgium waffle maker or a square one you could even use this
batter and make pancakes if you wanted to but you're going to add this into a preheated waffle
maker close it and let it cook for probably around like three to five minutes you don't want to
open it up until it cooks all the way through one of the common mistakes people make when they
make truffles is they open it up too soon and then it's just like leaves this gooey cheesy mess
all over the place like the waffle stuck to the waffle iron that's because you open it up too
soon so the solution is to close it and let it cook some more and then it will release
from the nonstick part of the waffle maker as you can see it's super easy to make i like
to top mine with some butter and some sugar-free syrup i'll have my favorite syrup listed down
below for you guys there's so many different variations of a chocolate you can do i have a
video that you can click up here it's my six amazing truffle recipes i also have a chawful
playlist that i'll have listed down below in the description box for you another thing that i
want to say about truffles is that you can meal prep these you can make them ahead of time store
them in your freezer store them in your fridge it's an easy go-to keto breakfast macros for
my recipe of the original chocolate waffle it'll make two small truffles are one large one
depending on what sort of waffle maker you make but just for this entire batch which would be
one serving it's 320 calories 24.3 grams of fat 21.7 grams of protein don't worry you guys i am
putting total carb information on my website soon the total carbs are 4.6 grams and the net carbs
are 3.1 grams and this is filling too it has a lot of fat in it so it's going to fill you up all
right another recipe that you guys can make that isn't just bacon and eggs are pancakes and i have
a delicious cream cheese pancake recipe for you guys i've done it before on my channel i'll have
it listed down below or you can click up here if you want to but i thought i'd do a variation on
this recipe and we're going to make some chocolate pancakes the cool thing about this recipe is that
you mix everything in a blender and so cleanup is super easy because you just pour it straight into
your skillet cook up the pancakes put it in the dishwasher as long as your blender is dishwasher
safe but you could use an electric mixer if you wanted to it's just since this recipe uses cream
cheese they don't really mix up all that well you might get lumps you might have to mix it longer if
you're using electric mixer to mix up the batter to make my keto chocolate pancake recipe you're
going to need to add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese 4 eggs a half a cup of heavy cream
or you could use a nut milk of your choice 1 3 cup of coconut flour now i like to use
coconut flour in this recipe because if you were to use almond flour when you cook with
almond flour it tends to burn faster than coconut flour but you could substitute you would
just probably have to add one cup of almond flour but don't worry it does not taste like coconut
it does not have the underlying coconut flavor these pancakes are fantastic i get a ton and ton
of compliments on them for sweetness we're going to add a quarter cup of monk fruit sweetener or
you could use whatever sweetener you want and then for the chocolate flavor i'm going to be using
cacao bliss for this cacao bliss is a raw cacao powder superfood blend so it contains cinnamon
and turmeric lucuma black pepper salt mct oils it's so flavorful i think it's better than just
using plain cocoa powder which you could use in this recipe if you wanted to so you would either
add a quarter cup of cacao bliss or a quarter cup of cocoa powder but i just love the flavor of the
cacao bliss it just those extra little ingredients they have in there those superfoods add a ton of
flavor plus i know i'm getting great nutrition you'll also need to add two teaspoons of baking
powder to help the pancakes rise we're going to blend that up and then pour it onto our griddle
now i do like to use a griddle for this you could use a skillet if you wanted to i just feel like
the temperature is better controlled if you used a griddle now i have a few tips when it comes to
making these pancakes first off just pour a little bit down first maybe make two pancakes because
you know those first two pancakes that you make whether or not you're making keto pancakes always
turn out to be flops like it just takes you a while to get the temperature right on the griddle
and how much you're adding so only add maybe just two pancakes first before you do a whole batch
the second tip i have for making these pancakes is make sure that you're using a very low heat you
want to go low heat for longer so lowest possible setting on either your stove top or the griddle
and then let them cook until the edges start to set around the sides a spatula should easily fit
underneath it and slide your pancake and then you know it's ready to turn if it doesn't do that
let it go for longer a big thanks to the cacao bliss for sponsoring this video if you guys are
interested in their product and i highly suggest you try it because you can use it for a ton of
different baked goods or put it in your coffee and add a little bit of sweetness to your coffee
and a little bit of chocolate it's so yummy i'll have a link down below in the description box if
you guys want to check them out these pancakes are really good and especially with that cacao bliss
in it it adds just that little extra bit of flavor now the macros for these pancakes if you had two
around three inch pancakes you would probably get eight servings out of it so for two of
those three inch pancakes it's 210 calories 19.4 grams of fat a protein is a 5.7 4.7 total
carbs and the net carbs is 2 grams of net carbs so that's really good if you're getting like a
decent portion of like two pancakes out of this now i know that we said that we weren't doing
bacon and eggs but have you guys ever tried pepperoni and eggs so good you guys have to try
this recipe basically we're making scrambled eggs but we're gonna add some pepperoni to
this for my scrambled eggs i added three eggs and then to make it creamy i'm adding some
cream cheese this is one ounce of cream cheese you don't have to add that if you don't want
to or you could add in some heavy cream too and then season with salt and pepper now the trick
to making really good scrambled eggs that aren't watery it has to do with when you add the salt and
there's two ways that you can make scrambled eggs and two ways of when you would add the salt first
is you add the salt right away and then you add it to your skillet and scramble your eggs this
will prevent any of the moisture from leaking out or you season your scrambled egg mixture
let it sit for 20 minutes and then you cook it if you season it and then try cooking it like
within like two minutes three minutes five minutes you're gonna get watery eggs it's just
the way that the salt's interacting with proteins i usually don't have time to wait 20 minutes so i
will add my salt just right before i scramble my eggs i'm also adding pepperoni to this you
could either use those small pepperonis or i've just quartered a larger pepperoni so that's
in smaller chunks and add it to there i feel like it's the fat that gets released from the pepperoni
that just really up levels these scrambled eggs bye and you can turn this into like a pizza
scramble egg and add on some cheese maybe some veggies a little bit of marinara sauce on
top it is so good and all of these recipes i'll have listed down below in the description box but
they're also gonna be on my website ketofocus.com and the macros for these eggs are so good mostly
because it's like this is really gonna fill you up and this makes like if you did one serving
on this entire thing it is 420 calories a fat it's 35 grams of fat 25 grams of proteins and
then one total carb and one net carb so really good macros on this you guys is probably one
of the best keto breakfasts that you could have next i want to make something for the grab-and-go
person that doesn't necessarily need to have protein in the morning i want to show you how to
make these keto lemon blueberry muffins these are amazing they are so good you won't even know that
they're keto they're that good we're gonna start by adding our dry ingredients to a bowl you'll
need one and a quarter cup of almond flour three tablespoons of coconut flour two teaspoons of
baking powder and a quarter teaspoon of salt you wanna mix that together and set it aside we're
going to work on our wet ingredients so in a small bowl i'm going to add two tablespoons of coconut
oil with four tablespoons of butter and four tablespoons of cream cheese you want to melt this
in the microwave for around 30 seconds just until everything's just softened and melted so that it
can easily incorporate into your dry ingredients to these wet ingredients you want to add a half
a cup of sweetener of your choice i'm going to be using a monk fruit blend sweetener along with
a quarter cup of sour cream sour cream is like my secret ingredient for anything keto bread it
just really makes it taste like regular bread then we're gonna mix in four eggs along with a
teaspoon of vanilla a juice and the zest from one lemon then add in your dry ingredients and
then we're going to put in some blueberries now blueberries do have carbs in it so i've i'm adding
in one cup of blueberries but you guys could add in less if you want to pour these into your muffin
liners and then we're going to bake these at 350 degrees for around 20 minutes now you can
just have these muffins just like this or if you want to up level them then just
mix a little bit of powdered sweetener along with some lemon juice to create
a lemon glaze and drizzle that on top now let's talk about the macros so this makes
12 muffins so each muffin has 185 calories it's 16.2 grams of fat 5.4 grams of protein a
5.7 total carbs and it's 5.3 net carbs per muffin so pretty good aikido wise if you wanted to have
this um you could probably even have two of them in the morning if you wanted to now a great recipe
that you guys can make up ahead of time this is a meal prep recipe and it's good for if you are
avoiding eggs is to make chia pudding it's so easy to make you can add everything to the blender
mix it up and then your chia pudding's ready or if you don't want to mix up your like mix it up in a
blender you could just add your ingredients pop it in the refrigerator overnight and then those chia
seeds will absorb some fluid and puff up and make it a pudding consistency but it's probably one of
the easiest breakfast ideas that you can do when you're on keto and you're trying to avoid eggs and
you want a meal prep i have a bunch of different recipes on my website i'll have some of them
linked down below there's like a lemon blueberry one strawberries and cream one there's just
there's lots of recipes out there that you guys can do and they're they're very very clean too
it's a good way to have good whole ingredients on the keto diet and i won't go over the macros just
because i do have a bunch of different recipes but like for one of them like my strawberry and cream
chia pudding just know like a serving of that it's a pretty decent serving it's gonna keep you full
it's like 1.5 net carbs and it makes a great snack too so if you didn't want to have a breakfast
you could have it as a dessert or snack option another recipe that you guys can make that won't
contain any eggs is to make a smoothie bowl i'm going to show you how to make like a healthy
avocado green smoothie bowl this recipe is so simple to make too i'm going to make mine in my
food processor you could use a blender too if you have a high-powered blender but we're going
to add a half of an avocado to your blender and then i'm going to use a half of a cup of
mixed berries these are frozen berries you could use fresh ones if you wanted you could
use maybe all strawberries all raspberries just any of the keto approved berries
like strawberries raspberries blueberries and blackberries along with a couple handfuls of
spinach you could use kale too if you wanted to or you could just omit this part if you didn't
want to add that in and then you'll also need a half of a cup of nut milk i'm going to be using
macadamia nut milk because that's my favorite you could use heavy cream here too if you wanted to
and just mix that up i don't feel like this needs any additional sweetener but you could add it as
an option if you needed it to be sweeter and then you can put whatever toppings you want from nuts
coconuts seeds a little bit of sugar-free syrup maybe some of that cacao bliss powder you could
add that in here too to make it a chocolate version super delicious and this is another
great recipe that you could meal prep just add in your avocado spinach berries into a baggie put
it in your freezer let it freeze and then when you want to make a smoothie bowl you pull it out
and then add your nut milk mix everything together so simple it's really great way that you could
just package up a little individual smoothie bags the macros are really good on this smoothie
bowl too so i would say all of these would probably make a serving for one it's 189 calories
13.2 grams of fat and 4.2 grams of protein total carbs are high but that's because the avocado so
it's 17.1 total carbs and then net carbs is a 4.8 this next recipe is one that i pulled from tiktok
it's a viral recipe it's called baked oats and obviously we're not having oats because oats are
not keto approved but we're gonna make our own oats and we're gonna bake them and it's delicious
this will make one large serving for you guys or you could split it into two if you wanted to but
bake oats are basically like oatmeal that you're gonna bake i'm baking mine in the microwave
because ain't nobody got time to use an oven in the morning in my household but feel free to
use an oven if you want to but it's just it makes these it's like almost like a dessert it's so good
kind of like a cobbler basically we're going to be adding in a quarter cup of pecans 1 tablespoon
of almond flour a tablespoon of flax meal a scoop of protein powder i'm going to be using
like you can use vanilla unflavored protein powder whatever whey protein powder you have that's low
in carbs i'm going to add that to there and then a teaspoon of chia seeds i'm putting this in a mini
food processor just because it is a small amount basically you just want those nuts to be kind of
ground up a little bit you don't have to use a food processor you can just chop up your nuts more
finely consistency if you want to and you're going to need one teaspoon of sweetener half a teaspoon
of baking powder and a quarter teaspoon of salt then to those dry ingredients we're gonna add one
ounce of cream cheese and a quarter cup of nut milk i'm gonna be using macadamia nut milk and
then i'm also gonna stir in some raspberries so this is around a quarter cup of fresh raspberries
but you could use whatever berry you wanted to i'm putting this in a greased ram can you
could put it in a mug too if you wanted to or like i said you could bake it in the
oven and i'm going to bake this on high for one to two minutes you just want to
cook it until it's set it will still be kind of moist in the center but that's the
amazing part of it is that it's it's just like a baked oatmeal it's a heated up oatmeal
but with tons of flavor and those berries are so good you guys if you miss oatmeal
then you really want to try this recipe now talking about the macros on this this will
keep you full because it's 585 calories 47.2 grams of fat 36.2 grams of protein total carbs are
high because we do have a lot of nuts and seeds in there it's like the chia seeds and the flax meal
it's so it's 15.3 total carbs and then the net carbs is 6.1 grams of net carbs but like i said
this is going to keep you full so it is a great breakfast recipe or you could have it for lunch
too and it's something you can meal prep too just have everything in your refrigerator ready to go
pop it in the microwave first thing in the morning now i did save my most favorite recipe for last
this isn't something that i have all the time but it is delicious and it is perfect if you're making
something for like a casserole in the morning like you got brunch it's christmas morning it's sunday
morning it's the weekend whatever excuse you have this is a great recipe and you can meal prep
it so it's something you can make on sunday and eat throughout the whole week we're gonna
make some keto baked french toast now all these ingredients are gonna go in a blender because
once again it's just so much easier to mix up plus clean up is easy we're gonna add
in eight ounces of softened cream cheese a half of a cup of unsalted butter that's
softened you're going to need 8 eggs yes 8 eggs because it is french toast it doesn't taste that
eggy though a third cup of golden sweetener you can use the golden sweetener of your choice but
i do recommend golden just because it adds that extra little caramel flavor to it a quarter cup of
coconut flour then for some flavoring we're going to add in a half a teaspoon of cinnamon and then
you'll need a half a teaspoon of baking powder and a quarter teaspoon of salt blend that together
until it's smooth and we're going to pour this into a greased casserole dish and you're going
to bake it in the oven bake it in a 350 degree oven for around 40 minutes you just want to cook
it until it's like set on top and it's not still mushy in the in the center and then it's done
you can take it out let it rest for a little bit and then you can top it with like whipped
cream berries sugar-free syrup it's so good and this is like i said it's something
that you can make up ahead of time have like one square in the morning put it in the
fridge and then eat off of it the rest the week now the macros for this french toast casserole i
would say that it makes around eight servings it just depends on how you cut it but if you got
eight chunks out of it each slice would be 285 calories 26.5 grams of fat 8.3 grams of protein
3.1 total carbs and the net carbs is 1.8 like such good macros on this so you could afford to
have a little bit of sugar-free whipped cream or syrup or some berries on top but it's
delicious on its own too i hope this video gave you guys some ideas of what to make in the
breakfast in the morning check out my other keto breakfast recipes down below i'll have them listed
there's different videos that you guys can watch
