We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it’s also the craziest most hectic time of the day.
If you’re trying to lose weight on the keto diet, and mornings aren’t your jam, then you seriously need a few easy keto breakfast recipes that you can make ahead!
Otherwise, you’re setting yourself up for diet failure before the day has even gotten started!
When I started the keto diet (way back in the pre-Pinterest stone ages) meal prep was not in my vocabulary.
Neither was cooking! I was raised in a what do you want for dinner from the drive-thru style-home, so if I prepared anything more complicated than a boiled egg I thought I was Julia Child.
Eventually, I learned my way the stove and I lost 150 pounds and kept it off. (Before & After Weight Loss Photos)
And yes, I’m proud of my weight loss success with keto, but like anyone who has drastically changed with this diet will tell you, ultimately it’s not about the number on the scale.
It’s about getting control of your life. That’s why you’re here, right?
Or maybe you just wanted keto breakfast recipes:)
What I’ve gathered here are 26 easy keto breakfast recipes perfect for weekly meal prep. Of course, I’ve included a few breakfast casseroles, because they’re the perfect make ahead recipes and y’all, I’m from Mississippi-we live on casseroles here:)
You can prep most of these on Sunday and then there will be almost nothing to do but eat when you wake up in the morning. Which is the idea, right?
A Few Things That Make Keto Breakfast Meal Prep Actually Work
You don’t need a kitchen full of gear to pull this off, but a handful of things make the difference between “I meal prepped once and never again” and an actual Sunday habit. A mini waffle maker is the single best twenty dollars you’ll spend on keto — it’s what turns two ingredients into a chaffle in three minutes, and it’s the reason chaffles are the first recipe on this list. A muffin tin with silicone liners matters more than it sounds like it should, because egg muffins weld themselves to bare metal and nobody wants to spend Sunday night scrubbing. A glass casserole dish with a lid means you bake and store in the same container. And a slow cooker does the crockpot casserole while you sleep, which is the closest thing to cheating that meal prep offers.
For the pantry: blanched almond flour and coconut flour are the backbone of most of the baked recipes here, and buying them in bulk is significantly cheaper than the little grocery store bags. Add chia seeds for overnight pudding, granulated and confectioners sweetener for anything sweet, unflavored collagen or protein powder if you want to bump the protein in smoothies, and a set of glass meal prep containers so you can portion everything Sunday and actually see what you made. That’s the whole list. Everything else on this page uses ingredients you already have.
