Trying to eat better or dine out less? I’ve rounded up my top healthy low carb and keto-friendly recipes just for you. You certainly do not have to be on a low carb or keto diet to enjoy these recipes. Not only are these recipes healthy but they are incredibly delicious! Go ahead and reach those goals without leaving your kitchen.
First up are my favorite low carb breakfast recipes.
1. Keto Strawberry Donuts
These strawberry donuts are so heavenly. It’s like biting into a light, fluffy strawberry cloud. They have amazing texture and flavor and you will not believe these are low carb. From Hey Keto Mama, these are a great way to start off your morning without the guilt!
2. Sausage Pizza Egg Muffins
These are mouth-wateringly amazing! I am obsessed with these sausage pizza egg muffins because the sundried tomatoes pack these quick breakfast bites full of flavor. Since these are one of my favorite quick breakfast recipes, I always freeze a batch then pop 2 in the microwave for 2 minutes.
3. Keto Silver Dollar Pancakes
Pancakes are a staple when it comes to breakfast, as is bacon eggs and orange juice. They are fluffy, warm and can be paired with so many other breakfast staples. You too can enjoy pancakes. Head over to Two Sleevers to get the recipe and go back to enjoying your pancakes!
4. Keto Breakfast Casserole Recipe
I love a good one-pan meal. It's so easy, you can make this ahead of time and pop it in the oven in the morning. This Keto breakfast casserole from Real Simple Good is packed with veggies and besides a low carb keto recipe, it can also be Paleo + Whole30 friendly, just leave out the cheese.
5. Keto Blueberry Muffins
I absolutely love using applesauce as a substitute for eggs in a recipe and this one is no different. It allows you to not have to use quite so many eggs and it gives that moist taste that all muffins strive for. It’s hard enough to find a great muffin recipe let alone a low-carb keto recipe option, but I can say that this one will be a favorite from Food Faith Fitness.
6. Crazy Good Cinnamon Orange Chaffle
The first time I ever ate a chaffle I was in shock. How could this taste so similar to a waffle? This keto-friendly waffle recipe has great flavor, even my two sons thought it was delicious. If it has my boys’ stamp of approval then I feel like I’ve earned a gold star! This recipe is a must-try.
7. Keto Breakfast Tacos with Bacon & Guacamole
These Keto friendly Breakfast Tacos give Taco Tuesday (or Wednesday or Thursday) an entirely new meaning! Almost always I order a taco when dining out. Now I can have them for breakfast too thanks to this inspiring recipe. Why did I not think of this before? Add the sweet potatoes and gosh now I am drooling!
8. Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie
We eat a lot of chicken in our household. This recipe from Kasey Trenum is no exception. I think I love this recipe the most because I can make it in my new Lodge cast iron skillet. It’s one of my favorite pans to cook in and this recipe is first on my list to try. Don’t have a Lodge skillet? Here is the one I have and love. I also suggest purchasing a silicone handle holder so you don’t burn your hand.
9. Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Chicken Breast
If there is a Spinach artichoke dip at a party you can bet you’ll find me hovering around it. I absolutely love the dip so when I saw this recipe from Evolving Table it was a no brainer. It’s simple and easy to make and mouth-wateringly good.
10. Keto Lover Meatballs
This is a perfect weeknight dinner for everyone with plenty of time to whip up a scrumptious keto-friendly dessert I’ve discovered below. The real MVP in this recipe holding the tender meatballs together is the ooey-gooey cheese. Check out this yummy low carb keto recipe from Delish.
11. Instant Pot Easy Keto Mac and Cheese

13. Gluten-Free “Cheesy” Butternut Squash Quesadilla
The tortilla is gluten-free and made from Cassava flour. I love this low carb vegan recipe because of the combination of avocado and butternut squash. Discovering new recipes is always inspiring and keeps your lunch and dinner options fresh. You can even try this for your morning meal. It's such a fun way to change up your breakfast.
