These delicious savoury cheese muffins are a great savoury start to the day. Try one for a keto breakfast on the go. Baked with coconut flour and flavoured with cheese, chive and onion these low carb and gluten free muffins are very moreish too!
This is now my favourite savoury muffin recipe as I just love the cheese and onion flavour combinations and this stops any weakness that I may have for a cheese and onion roll/pastry. It has the same flavour tastes, with none of that bad, bad pastry. Even better, is that because this is made out of coconut flour it is very filling and is perfect for keeping you going all morning. They also make a great side dish to tomato soup, but one muffin is enough to fill you up with a bowl of soup too!
My tip is to bake a batch of them and keep them in the freezer. Take one out before you go to work and by the time you get there, it should be ready to eat (or you can zap it in the microwave for a hot treat). You are then set for the day!

Came out great! Similar taste and texture to a quiche. I sprinkled some paprika on the top with the cheese. Some pimentos mixed into the batter would be nice!
These sound amazing!! I'm very new to low carb and still finding my way, Hubby is on board with me though bless him. I showed him this recipe and he says he can't wait to try them too. Thank you so much for sharing, cheese with onion is one of my favourite combinations, hugs x
Thank you! Good luck to you and your husband. It's great when you both follow the same path. Hope you enjoy the muffins!
These are very yummy! I’ve been experimenting with new GF breakfast ideas and this one is definitely a winner.
Thank you Linda. They are still one of my favourite recipes.
SO, so delicious!! Even my husband, who only eats “Regular” food, thought they were very tasty!
Yah! Glad you both enjoyed them...lure the husband over to the dark side with muffins....;)
Very good muffins, I might try with a little smoked paprika next time. I made these in mini muffin cups and baked for 10mins, a little too small so I definitely recommend regular muffin size and double or triple the recipe. Thanks again for a good recipe! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed them! I love to play around with this recipe too! Loving the idea of smoked paprika.!
OOPS!!! you forgot to put flour after coconut in the ingrediants. I cant wait to try this.
ooh! Well caught Susan! Thanks!
Oh, I just made the mistake of reading this before I have made my breakfast. I'm going to have to go shopping for the ingredients RIGHT NOW!
