Bake a batch of keto breakfast sausage muffins for a filling meat and cheese meal using Fathead dough!

fathead dough sausage muffin

It’s the breakfast of champions!

These hearty stuffed keto breakfast sausage muffins are as delicious as they are low-carb! Even better, this recipe uses the insanely easy to make, and popular mozzarella cheese and almond flour “Fathead” dough. These muffins will keep you full all morning long too.

We’ve featured this keto fathead dough multiple times in various recipes over the years such as in keto lasagna, and keto pigs in a blanket. Today I am excited to share it as a base for making stuffed sausage breakfast muffins.

The result is a cheesy puffy muffin with such great flavor from the sausage and veggies. I love this as a make-ahead keto breakfast idea that you can reheat throughout the week. It’s honestly so delicious and worth waking up for!

Tips for Making Keto Breakfast Sausage Muffins:

    • If your dough is sticky, try dusting it with a little extra almond flour and place it in the fridge to firm up. I find the longer you keep stirring, it will eventually dry out into a firm ball that you can then easily manipulate.
    • You’re going to need 6 breakfast sausage patties. Feel free to use the preformed patties from the grocery store, or form your own if buying the tube package of Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage. I have used both before based on what I had on hand at the time.
    • Cater the veggies to your taste. I sauteed some chopped bell pepper and onion in a skillet and they are delicious paired with the sausage.
    • You will be placing a sausage patty on top of a flattened piece of dough and then will be setting it inside a large muffin tin. After baking, you get these tasty and satisfying bread-like stuffed muffins! So good.
    • These will reheat well in the microwave or air fryer and last about 4 days in the fridge stored in a covered container.

I love this keto breakfast idea!

They bake up a little puffy in the oven and have a great texture and taste. I had one this morning, and they still taste great reheated the next day!

You could probably come up with a bacon version that’d be yummy, too. There are lots of possibilities for you to customize this idea. Enjoy!

    Just made these for lunch! Delish! I used pre-cooked sausage crumbles and mushrooms instead of peppers (because that’s what I happened to have on hand). I will definitely be making this again! It reminded us of the taste of biscuits and gravy!

    • Lina D

      Awesome – thanks for sharing Bonnie!

  2. Marsha J Baker

    Has Anyone done these in the Air Fryer

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Unsure if a muffin pan would fit? But maybe an oven-safe cup or glass ramekin and cook 1-2 a couple at a time? That could work. They reheat well in the air fryer!
