Keto Homemade Breakfast Sausage

· 7 Comments

I prefer to make my own Keto Homemade Breakfast Sausage to buying expensive sugar free breakfast sausage at the market. Living the keto lifestyle is not exactly cheap, so saving a little money whenever I can is a bonus. Furthermore, when I make my own sausage I control what goes into it and I can adjust the seasonings to suit my taste.

Many Uses for Keto Homemade Breakfast Sausage

There are so many great ways to use the Keto Homemade breakfast sausage.  For example, you can whip up a great sausage pasta sauce and serve it over spiralized zucchini. Another option is to use it as a topping on a keto pizza.

If you like sausage for breakfast, then you may like this sausage biscuits and gravy recipe from Ruled Me. But, my all-time favorite use for this delicious sausage is the Keto Mac Griddle breakfast sandwich.

I’d love to hear how you use your breakfast sausage and see some of your favorite recipes. Feel free to leave a message in the comments below with a link to your favorite recipe.

Homemade Breakfast Sausage is Perfect For Keto Meal Prep

The homemade breakfast sausage is great for keto meal prep. Make up a double batch and pre-cook your sausage. I form patties, links and some bulk sausage that I cook ahead of time. The pre-cooked sausage freezes well or refrigerate it for up to a week. The added fat keeps it moist and tender and it tastes great warmed up in the microwave.

My favorite thing about the Ninja is how easy it is to use, and clean-up is a breeze.  An added plus is how portable it is. My regular food processor has so many parts and pieces to manage, I usually grab my Ninja first for chopping, or blending. Best of all, it is reasonably priced.

  1. Gather your ingredients.
  2. Place the ground pork, additional fat and all the spices into your ninja, (or chosen) food processor and pulse until all ingredients are incorporated into the ground pork. (do not over mix, as this tends to make the sausage tough).
  3. Remove sausage from food processor and form into desired shapes or leave as bulk sausage.
Recipe Notes

Servings are listed for 8 (2 0z) patties or 16 1 0z sausage links. To pre-cook the sausages, cook over medium heat until sausage is browned on all sides. Freeze pre-cooked sausage, or store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freshly ground pork sausage can be frozen without cooking with good results if the ground pork was not previously frozen.

Keto Buttery Maple Syrup

· 29 Comments

I have to admit I’m quite shameless when it comes to my keto buttery maple syrup. I put it on everything. For example, in the morning I put it in my bullet coffee, on my Instant Noatmeal and on my Mac Griddle breakfast sandwich. The buttery maple flavor goes so well with everything and it’s keto!

I love to experiment when I’m cooking, hence I blog.

The hubs says I rarely cook anything the same way twice. And he is right, I don’t. This is why I love blogging. I put my recipes out in the blogosphere where I have a permanent record of what I created. So, I can refer back to it now and again, and maybe possibly make the same thing twice. If, I keep my tweaking to a minimum.

Keto Buttery Maple Syrup: Not Just for Breakfast

If you love to experiment like I do, consider using the Keto Buttery Maple Syrup outside your comfort zone. Try it on your pork chops as a maple glaze (recipe coming) or use it on the Keto pizza dough as a base for a delicious keto dessert pizza. The possibilities are endless.

The Preparation
  1. Gather your ingredients and a medium sized skillet to cook your syrup in.
The Procedure
  1. Place 4 tbsp butter in skillet and heat on low until butter is melted.
  2. Add 1/4 tsp vanilla bean powder (or 1 tsp) vanilla extract and 1 tsp maple extract to butter and cook for two minutes until butter is slightly browned.
  3. Add 3/4 cup water. Stir until butter and water are incorporated.
  4. Add 1/4 cup swerve confectioners sugar. Whisk until mixture is smooth and the lumps are gone.
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp Xanthum gum over mixture and stir until maple syrup is thickened. If the syrup is too thick add a little water until proper consistency.
Recipe Notes

If you want your maple syrup to be a little darker, experiment with adding 1 tsp or 2 of powdered espresso.  The flavor only changes slightly, but adds a darker richer color to your maple syrup.

The syrup will last refrigerated up to 4 weeks.

Keto Mac Griddle Sandwich

· Leave a Comment

The Keto Mac Griddle breakfast sandwich is my healthy keto version of Mickey D’s Sausage McGriddles. In my view, it is spot on for the savory, maple pancake and sausage treat. If you are a McGriddles fan, you know exactly what I mean.

Keto Mac Griddle – A Stroke of Genius

So how did I come upon this stroke of genius I call the Keto Mac Griddle?

It all started with my Keto Breakfast Biscuits.

Image of Keto Mac Griddle breakfast sandwich on a white plate with a jar of maple syrup ad biscuits in the backgroundWhile developing the recipe I noticed how similar the taste and texture was to the McGriddle after putting Keto Buttery Maple Syrup on them. I knew I was on to something. So, I did a little more experimenting with the maple syrup and voila; perfection.

Putting the Keto Mac Griddle Together

Image of Keto Mac Griddle breakfast sandwich on a white plate with a jar of maple syrup ad biscuits in the background

It wasn’t a big stretch to add my homemade breakfast sausage to the breakfast biscuits and as a result, a star was born.

Of course, some people will go ahead and ruin a perfectly good Keto Mac Griddle Sandwich by adding an egg.

But to each his own, I always say. If you want to add an egg or even a piece of cheese, who am I to judge.

Meal Prep

image of keto mac griddle breakfast sandwich. Text reads keto mac griddle copy cat recipeThis is a perfect recipe for meal prep. Each component can be made ahead and put together on the run.

The Keto buttery maple syrup can be made well in advance. I fact, I make up a batch quite regularly. It’s great in my morning coffee or on my keto instant noatmeal.

Similarly, make the Keto Breakfast sausage and pre-cook the patties. Then, freeze for later use. When your ready to make your breakfast sandwiches, simply take the sausage out of the freezer and place in the refrigerator the night before. The Keto breakfast biscuits can also be made ahead of time and frozen. Hopefully, your will power is better than mine, the biscuits are so good they rarely make it to my freezer.

Keto Instant Noatmeal: Sweet or Savory?

I recently tried out my keto instant noatmeal recipe on my sister-in-law (a willing guinea pig) who was visiting for the weekend.  After I served up her noatmeal, I realized I forgot the sweetener.

Unfazed, she asked if she could put butter and salt and pepper on top of her keto instant noatmeal instead. I hadn’t really thought of that combination before. So, I tried it. And wow, it was every bit as good as mine that was topped with butter and my Keto Buttery Maple Syrup.

Keto Breakfast Biscuits

· 9 Comments

When I first started keto I thought eating breakfast biscuits was a thing of the past. I accepted the reality of a sausage Mcgriddles-less life, but it didn’t come easy.  I loved the taste of those savory breakfast sandwiches even if they weren’t very healthy. So, I set out to make a keto version of my own.

The keto breakfast biscuits are the key to my Keto Mac Griddle Breakfast Sandwich and I know you’re gonna love em.

Keto Breakfast Biscuits: Not just for Breakfast

image of three biscuits. Text reads Keto Breakfast Biscuits Yum! Keto foodificationThe best thing about the keto breakfast biscuits (besides how they taste), is their unique ability to go well with just about anything you pair them with. For instance, serve them topped with butter, alongside a steaming bowl of Keto Southwestern Chili. I guarantee you the applause will be deafening.

Likewise, use the biscuit dough as a topper for a stand out Keto Chicken Pot Pie with amazing results.

Get crazy and be creative. I want to hear how you adapted the keto breakfast biscuit mix to make your own killer recipes. Share your ideas below or on the keto forum.  I have no doubt everyone will enjoy what you come up with.
