Ingredients
  

  • 5 large eggs
  • 5 oz (140 g) 5 slices bacon, about
  • 2 tbsp (28 g / 0.99 oz) butter, melted
  • ½ cup (56 g / 1.98 oz) almond flour
  • ¼ cup (28 g / 0.99 oz) flaxseed meal
  • 1½ tbsp / 14g (0.49 oz) psyllium husk powder
  • 2 medium ripe avocados, diced
  • 4.5 oz (128 g) Colby-Jack cheese, shredded
  • 3 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) minced garlic
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) dried chives
  • ¼ tsp red chili flakes
  • 1 ½ cups / 355ml (12 fl oz) unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 ½ tbsp / 22ml (0.7 fl oz) lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Use avocados that are ripe but still firm. This prevents them from turning to mush during baking and ensures you get nice, creamy chunks in every bite.
  • For the best texture, do not overmix the batter after combining the wet and dry . Mix just until no dry streaks remain, then gently fold in the add-ins.
  • These muffins are perfect for meal prep. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or a toaster oven for a quick breakfast.
  • Feel free to customize the cheese! Sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a spicy pepper jack would all be delicious substitutes for the Colby-Jack.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Grease 16 standard-sized muffin cups or line them with silicone liners.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until browned and crispy.
  5. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, reserving about 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) of the bacon fat in the pan.
  6. Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces.
  7. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry : almond flour, flaxseed meal, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, garlic, cilantro, chives, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, coconut milk, lemon juice, melted butter, and the reserved bacon fat until well combined.
  9. Pour the wet into the dry and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped bacon, diced avocado, shredded cheese, and sliced spring onions.
  10. Divide the batter evenly among the 16 prepared muffin cups.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  12. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
