10 Lazy Keto Breakfast Recipes
Here are the 10 Lazy Keto Breakfast Recipes that you can enjoy as part of a weight loss plan or just to enjoy homemade breakfasts made with simple ingredients.
1. Cheesy Fried Eggs
If you like crispy cheese and crisp fried eggs, then these keto fried eggs are the perfect lazy keto diet breakfast for you.
Start by frying a circle of grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese in a frying pan, then crack a couple of eggs over. Cook until the eggs are done to your liking and the base is wonderfully crisp.
Serve with your keto vegetables of choice, like the above pictured mushrooms, for an easy breakfast.
2. Breakfast Fry Up
There are plenty of different ways to enjoy a simple fry up on a lazy keto meal plan that’s low in total carbs.
The above big low carb breakfast fry up plate includes:
- Fried eggs
- Mushrooms
- Keto Sausage
It was all cooked/heated up in plenty of coconut oil in a frying pan.
You could cook your eggs any how you like, frying them up with your choice of vegetables from the following low carb foods list:
- Broccoli
- Mushrooms
- Spinach
- Cauliflower
- Asparagus
- Radishes (which fry up like potatoes!)
- Onion/Garlic (sparingly)
You can use low carb sausages as the meat portion or fry up crispy bacon, leftover roast chicken/meat or any other breakfast protein you like.
Feel free to add a portion of creamy avocado or a slice of cheese like brie for an indulgent breakfast plate.
3. Lazy Keto Breakfast Hash
A breakfast hash makes a hearty keto breakfast that’s high in grams of protein. You can really cook up any low carb vegetables you like and then crack a couple of eggs over.
The above breakfast has brussel sprouts and is a true one pan wonder. (Here’s the recipe)
4. Omelette
You can fill an omelette with your keto fillings of choice for the perfect breakfast in your weekly meal plan.
My perfect omelette is usually filled with plenty of cheese and mushrooms, here are more ideas for you.
5. Waffles
You can make keto waffles with coconut flour or almond flour as a delicious breakfast that the entire family will enjoy. (Here’s my full keto waffles recipe for you.)
My go to recipe has only 4 ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 Cup of Heavy Cream, Almond Milk or Coconut Milk
- Pinch of Salt
- 1/4 Cup of Coconut Flour
You simply whisk the ingredients together and cook them in a waffle maker and top with your choice of toppings from berries, whipped cream, ice cream or sugar free blueberry jam.
6. Smoothie or Protein Shake
When you don’t have much time in the morning for a full cooked breakfast, then a breakfast smoothie and shake makes an easy, little to no prep meal.
You can make a keto friendly smoothie or protein shake with as little as 3 ingredients. Like the above picture raspberry smoothie. (Here’s the full easy recipe)
Here are more ideas for ingredients to include in your keto breakfast smoothies:
- Almond Milk
- Coconut Milk
- Low Carb Yogurt
- Cream
- Cream Cheese
- Mascarpone
- Frozen berries
- Fresh berries
- Chia Seeds
- Cacao Powder
- Peanut Butter
- Lemon
- Stevia
- Coconut
- Sugar Free Jam
Too add a portion of protein to your breakfast drink, simply find a low carb protein powder (like this) and add a tablespoon or scoop to a protein shaker or blender, along with almond milk and cream.
I like to add a dash of heavy cream to my protein shakes to elevate the healthy fat content. Then, shake it up or blend for a speedy breakfast or breakfast on the go.
7. Lazy Keto Breakfast Granola
It’s easy to make a nutty keto granola that you can enjoy with low carb yogurt as a healthy breakfast.
You’ll need a couple of cups of nuts, coconut, vanilla, stevia, cinnamon, salt and an egg to bind it all together. (Here’s the full easy recipe.)

It’s low in carbs, high in protein and makes a welcome change from regular keto breakfasts. (Here’s the full keto oatmeal recipe for you.)
9. Breakfast Cookies
You can make ahead this grab and go breakfast treat as the perfect recipe that’s packed full of protein goodness. (Here’s the keto breakfast cookies recipe for you.)
Enjoy a low-carb diet cookie or two with a cup of bulletproof coffee, tea or hot chocolate for a speedy way to start your day.
10. Chia Pudding
Pop 2 tablespoons of chia seeds into a bowl, glass or mug.
Top with half a cup of liquid from the following options – almond milk, kefir, low carb plain yogurt, cream.
I went for a quarter of a cup of almond milk and a quarter of a cup of kefir.
Add a half a teaspoon of stevia (or more) for sweetness and stir well to combine. Move the chia pudding to the fridge to thicken for a few hours or overnight.
Enjoy topped with berries, grated low carb chocolate, cream or shredded coconut. (Read more about chia seeds on keto.)
