Carnivore Bacon Muffins Recipe

These Carnivore Bacon Muffins are the perfect savory snack or meal for those following a carnivore diet. With rich, flavorful bacon, eggs, and cheese, these muffins are packed with protein and fats, making them a satisfying and keto-friendly option. They’re easy to make and can be enjoyed as breakfast, lunch, or even a snack.

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but adds great flavor)
• ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled (about 6-8 slices)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional if you’re allowing minimal non-carnivore ingredients)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or line it with parchment paper muffin liners.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess fat. After it cools, crumble it into small pieces.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and beat them until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix well. If you’re using cheese, add it at this point along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Add Bacon and Optional Baking Powder: Stir in the crumbled bacon. If you’re using baking powder (to add a little fluff), mix it into the egg mixture.
5. Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg and bacon mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full.
6. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

• Cheese: If you’re strictly carnivore, you can omit the cheese, though it will change the texture slightly.
• Bacon fat: You can use the bacon grease for greasing the muffin tin to add extra bacon flavor!
• Make it ahead: These muffins store well in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.

These Carnivore Bacon Muffins are not only easy to make but also versatile. They can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast, packed for lunch, or simply enjoyed as a savory snack. Perfect for those looking for high-protein, low-carb, and high-fat meals!
