If you love healthy, savory, and keto meals, these breakfast cookies are a total game changer. Imagine the taste of an omelet and a biscuit rolled into one, packed with the right ingredients for a low carb breakfast on the go. Each cookie has just 2.9g net carbs, making it perfect for your keto diet. They’re freezer friendly, which makes meal prep super quick and easy. I started calling them cookies even though the texture feels more like a biscuit—because who doesn’t want to eat a fun breakfast that tastes this delicious?
When I first made these, I wanted something different that I could freeze and microwave later for a quick lunch or breakfast. The gluten free, grain free mix of omelets, sausage, onions, peppers, and cheese, blended with almond flour and eggs, turned out amazing—voila, healthy savory breakfast cookies! They’re so friendly for families and easy to enjoy, even for those not strictly following a keto diet. Plus, they’re great for sharing—just check out the comments from others who’ve made them.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This helps the cookies bake evenly without sticking.
2. Mix the Cream Cheese and Eggs
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs and mix until fully combined and fluffy. This becomes the creamy base for your savory breakfast cookies.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in the coconut flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Give the mixture a few minutes to sit—the coconut flour will thicken as it absorbs the moisture.
4. Fold in the Proteins & Cheese
Add the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, cooked Canadian bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently fold everything together until evenly distributed. The mixture should resemble a thick, spoonable dough.
5. Shape the Cookies
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of the scoop to help them bake into perfect “cookies.”
6. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving—they firm up beautifully as they rest.
7. Enjoy Fresh or Freeze for Later
Serve warm for the best texture, or freeze them for a quick and easy grab-and-go keto breakfast anytime.

FAQs
1. Can I freeze these breakfast cookies?
Absolutely! These keto-friendly breakfast cookies freeze beautifully. Store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer for a quick, healthy breakfast on busy mornings.
2. Can I substitute coconut flour with almond flour?
Coconut flour absorbs far more liquid than almond flour, so a direct swap won’t work. If you must use almond flour, start with 1 cup and adjust as needed—but note that the texture will be softer and less biscuit-like.
3. Are these cookies gluten-free?
Yes! Since they use coconut flour instead of wheat, they’re naturally gluten-free, grain-free, and perfect for low-carb or keto diets.
4. What proteins can I use instead of sausage and Canadian bacon?
You can easily swap in chopped ham, turkey sausage, cooked ground turkey, chicken bacon, or veggie-friendly meat alternatives to keep these healthy and customizable.
5. How should I store leftovers?
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They reheat wonderfully in the air fryer, microwave, or oven.
6. Are these good for meal prep?
They’re perfect for meal prep! These savory keto cookies hold up well, freeze easily, and reheat quickly—ideal for busy workdays, school lunches, or holiday mornings when you need healthy options fast.
