A satisfying, make-ahead keto meal for mornings when you don't have time but still want sausage and eggs. These breakfast sandwiches cover all your early morning cravings.
Most store bought frozen breakfast sandwiches, like Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches, or fast food options, like McDonald’s Egg McMuffins, are not keto friendly. The bread is full of carbohydrates and wheat, plus they are filled with processed ingredients and preservatives.
Luckily, it’s pretty easy to make homemade breakfast sandwiches that are low carb with the right bread, scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese and sausage. How to make keto breakfast sandwiches
- Make the bread by combining coconut flour, eggs, heavy cream, butter and a few other ingredients.
- The bread batter is poured into a muffin top pan or ramekin and baked at 350.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sandwich fixings – eggs, bacon or sausage patties.
- Assemble the breakfast sandwich.
Key ingredients
- The bread – In this recipe, I make my own bread using almond butter, coconut flour, eggs, butter, heavy cream, baking powder and salt. It’s an easy way to make a gluten-free bread with ingredients you already have in your pantry. Other options for different breads are listed below.
- Egg – Scrambled, fried, over easy, over medium eggs.
- Sausage and/or bacon – Add your favorite breakfast meat. Look for sausage and bacon without added sugar.
- Cheese – Cheddar, pepper jack, colby, mozzarella – there are endless options for making a cheese breakfast sandwich.

I was surprised how nicely the almond butter blended with the eggs to make soft, fluffy buns! The muffin top tins gave them that perfect round shape that held the sausage and cheese without falling apart. Prepping eight tops made sandwich assembly feel super quick all week.
I made a batch of these breakfast sandwiches last weekend and they kept really well in the fridge. I couldn't taste the coconut flour. Being on keto, it’s nice to have a filling option that’s easy to reheat in the morning. I used peanut butter once instead of almond butter and it turned out fine.
Thank you so much, Annie for this and all of your recipes!!🧇🥞🥯🥐 Let me ask; isn't the sandwich higher in protein? Muffins 6 gm each, cheese slice 7 gm, and sausage pattie 9 to 13 gm for total of 28 to 32 gm?
I followed the recipe as directed but the mixture was a little soupy so I added a little more coconut flour. It tasted more like cornbread. Can the coconut flour be substituted for a more muffin taste? Over all I did enjoy the sandwich, super large. Thanks for the recipe!
What can I use in place of almond butter?
You can use any nut butter.
