In practice, that means minimizing or eliminating grain-based foods and foods with added sugar. Your typical bread, bagels, pastries, breakfast cereal, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, and muffins are all off the table (no pun intended).

At first blush, then, it might seem like there is nothing left to eat in the morning. Au contraire! In fact, breakfast is one of the easiest meals to eat when you’re keto. Eggs, veggies, meat, and cheese are all totally keto-friendly options that you can combine into a variety of delectable breakfast dishes. Berries and plain, full-fat yogurt also fit the bill. You can even use low-carb flour and sugar substitutes to reinvent some of those old favorites if you’re so inclined.

A low-carb breakfast with plenty of healthy, satiating protein and fat is how you start your day off on the right foot. Here are 15 keto breakfast recipes to get you going!

Keto Breakfast… Without Eggs!?

Sure, eggs are easy, nutritious, and affordable, but maybe you’re allergic. Or—and we didn’t believe this when we first heard it—apparently some folks don’t want to eat eggs every day? No problem. Besides last night’s leftovers, which are always a fine option, here are a couple keto breakfast ideas, no eggs required.

8. Hemp Cauliflower Oats

These are on the slightly higher end of the carb spectrum with 20 grams of carbs, but 9 grams are fiber. Hemp cauliflower oats are a great pre- or post-workout keto breakfast when you don’t mind a few extra carbs.

Make this one keto-friendly by choosing a low-carb sweetener: stevia or Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel.

12. Cheesy Keto Biscuits

13. Primal Egg Coffee

Don’t knock it till you try it. Once you try adding an egg to your coffee, you’ll forget all about butter coffee—although you can always add butter, MCT oil, or coconut oil to this recipe if you’re so inclined. Swap out the sugar for stevia or monk fruit to drop the carbs even more.

14. Primal Egg Coffee Frappe

For all you iced coffee lovers. Again, feel free to swap the small amount of honey for a lower-carb sweetener. Add collagen peptides for more protein.

15. Bone Broth Latte

If you aren’t already drinking bone broth regularly, it’s time to get on board. Here’s how to amp up a mug of plain bone broth to deliver even more healthy fats and flavor.
