These Paleo Bacon & Egg Muffins are my go-to breakfast – perfect for busy mornings or meal prep. I created this recipe because I craved a quick, healthy, and delicious breakfast option that aligned with my paleo lifestyle. One morning, I was rushing to get my kids to school when I stumbled upon this idea! It was a game changer.
Forget those sad, flavorless breakfast options; these muffins are bursting with savory flavor. The crispy bacon, the perfectly cooked eggs, the subtle sweetness of the coconut aminos – it's a flavor explosion in every bite. Plus, they're surprisingly easy to make! Even my super-clumsy friend Sarah managed them, and she once set the kitchen on fire by microwaving a metal spoon.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab that muffin tin and give it a good grease with coconut oil or cooking spray. Trust me, this prevents sticking better than anything else I've tried!
- Cook the bacon: In a pan over medium heat, cook your bacon until it's nice and crispy. Remember to drain off excess grease, but hey, save a tablespoon if you're feeling adventurous – we might use it later!
- Prep the veggies: While the bacon is crisping up, chop your favorite veggies. I'm partial to mushrooms and onions – they add a hearty texture and earthy taste. But get creative! You do you.
- Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut aminos, salt, and pepper. Don't over-whisk; we don't want scrambled eggs in muffin form! A gentle whisk is all that's needed.
- Assemble the muffins: Crumble the cooked bacon into the egg mixture. Gently fold in your chopped veggies. Now, carefully spoon the mixture into your prepared muffin tins. Fill each tin about ¾ full.
- Bake: Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden. Every oven is different so keep a close eye on these!
- Cool slightly: Once they’re baked, let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Impatient? I understand. But a little patience makes for easier handling, you see!
- Serve and enjoy!: Once cool, these delicious Paleo Bacon and Egg Muffins are ready to enjoy. Grab one (or two!), and start your day the right way!
- Optional: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning before baking. Or, like I mentioned, use a tablespoon of bacon grease on top. Just trust your instincts. Your taste buds won't steer you wrong!
📝 Notes
- Feel free to adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking. Add a dash of your favorite hot sauce for extra zest!
