Easy Gluten Free Keto Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

My families favorite breakfast foods include waffles, pancakes and this easy breakfast idea of a breakfast sandwich!

I make them up ahead one day of the week, then I can have a quick, gluten free, Easy Gluten Free Keto Breakfast Sandwich when I want.

These gluten-free breakfast sandwiches are a special breakfast made with my own recipe for gluten free buns that is super easy!

Making your own low carb and gluten free buns makes sure that you are eating a healthy breakfast sandwich without a bunch of starches.

You just whip up the batter for the homemade gluten free buns in the blender, bake and eat! 

Perfect for busy mornings wether its one of those on the go meals away from home, or something quick in the morning when you are starving!

It sure is a healthier breakfast sandwich than you can get at some coffee shops or fast food restaurants, plus its gluten free.

You never really have the guarantee that its a certified gluten-free breakfast sandwich when you order from a place that has gluten items made in the same place.

I prefer mine with a fried egg, cheese and bacon. You can change up the meat and how you prepare the eggs, so keep reading till you find my Tips & FAQ section for other ideas.

The only special ingredient needed you may not have is maple extract. This gives the buns a breakfast taste that really sets it apart from other “muffin” type sandwich buns.

You will also need wide mouth canning rings to use as molds. I greased them well with a pastry brush to get in the grooves, then set them on a silpat lined pan.

Parchment paper works just as well, but the silpat seems to form a tighter seal so batter doesn’t ooze out from the ring mold.

What you will need to make this gluten free breakfast sandwich recipe

• Large eggs
• Cream cheese
• Almond Flour
• Baking Powder
• Vanilla extract
• Maple extract
• Liquid stevia/or monkfruit drops
• Large cookie Sheet
• Parchment paper or silpat mat
• 5 wide mouth canning rings
• Coconut Oil to grease canning rings
• Blender

Let’s make our Easy Gluten Free Keto Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

First preheat your oven to 350F and prepare your baking sheet.

Lay out a sheet of parchment paper or a silpat on the flat cookie sheet.

Now, with a pastry brush, brush coconut oil into the inside of each canning ring.

You can also use olive oil spray or your favorite nonstick cooking spray.

This is the only way to ensure it comes out of the canning ring in once piece once cooked.

You will need your blender or food processor. This is how you will get a super smooth batter without grittiness.

Put ingredients into the blender in the order listed. Start with eggs and cream cheese, then extracts, if using, then dry ingredients.

This way, the dry ingredients will not get stuck under the blades. Blend the gluten free sandwich bun batter until it is very smooth. Stop to scrape down the sides once if needed.

Let the batter sit 5 minutes to soak up the liquid, then fill the canning rings almost to the top (approximately 2-3 tbsp per lid).

Leave a small headspace for the muffin to rise up. Bake then at 350F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and set.

Allow to cool slightly before removing from the rings.

I suggest that you run a butter knife around the outer part of the ring to loosen it to prevent it sticking.

Most of them will come out just fine without a problem.

You can use them right away with your fried egg and crispy bacon, like I did, or make them all up into sandwiches for later. They will keep up to 3-4 days in the fridge to use when you want.

You can also freeze them on a baking sheet, up to 1 month then thaw as needed.

What if I want to make sandwiches ahead of time for meal prep?

You can do this easily with these Easy Gluten Free Breakfast Sandwich Buns!

Just choose what type of egg you will want and what type of meat you will use.

I love a fried egg and bacon on mine, but you can try these ideas also!

• Use sausage patties for the meat to pair with the fried egg. Jimmy Dean pre-made patties would work here, or you can fry some up of your own handmade patties.
• Try turkey bacon or turkey sausage if you are wanting to go with a lower fat content.
• Switch out the sausage or bacon with some canadian bacon instead! 
• Don’t like your whole egg fried? Whisk up some eggs in a bowl and make some fluffy eggs. After they cook, fold them up to fit the sandwich bun.
• Turn the buns into a french toast sandwich when you dip the cooked bun in an egg wash mixed with cinnamon and cream. Fry as usual and then assemble your sandwich.
• Add a slice of cheese to your choice of egg and breakfast meat for a super rich cheese breakfast sandwich.
• I would not recommend a runny egg with this recipe. It makes a mess and is not very on-the-go friendly.

Once you choose how your sandwiches will be, then place the assembled sandwiches on a flat baking sheet. Flash freeze them for 1 hour, then cover each one in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Put the wrapped sandwiches into a large freezer bag that has been dated. These keep up to 1 month before getting a bit freezer burned.

To reheat them, unwrap the sandwich, then put them in your 300F oven for 10 minutes. Then remove from the oven and wrap in foil. Now return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.

You can also put the entire unwrapped sndwich into the air fryer for 10 minutes at 375F.

Tips, FAQs and other ideas for an Easy Gluten Free Breakfast Sandwich

• You can use a toaster oven for reheating, but I would not recommend using it to bake the gluten free buns.
• You can easily use egg whites only as your egg for your sandwich. Whisk them up well in a small bowl and fry in a greased skillet. Cut to fit your sandwich with a cookie cutter or fold up.
• Don’t have any canning rings? Try making mini breakfast sandwiches when you bake the batter in a muffin tin. Grease the muffin tin well and fill up halfway. You can also make your eggs in the muffin tin so they will fit your small sized buns.
• Don’t forget to add on some of your favorite toppings to your sandwich like ketchup or maybe some maple syrup.
• If you run out of time, store-bought gluten free english muffins work too! Just lightly toast the gluten free english muffin before assembling the sandwich.
• When you make the meat for the sandwich, leave the grease in the pan so it makes it easier to remove the cooked egg. Using a nonstick skillet may also work, but I prefer using my cast iron skillet with the meat grease. It adds so much flavor as well!
• Don’t want to use meat? No need! Just make up an extra egg to keep the grams of protein up and make it an egg and cheddar cheese sandwich.
• You can omit the sweetener and extracts and use savory spices like parsley or onion powder if you wish.
• Eliminate the sweetener and extracts and make them plain. Use for lunch sandwiches or as a hamburger bun too!

Is there a way to make these buns dairy free also? Yes! Just use dairy free cream cheese instead of regular cream cheese. It will turn out the same! I have tried it with a lot of success!

Can I leave the extracts out if I don’t want to use them or don’t have them? Yes, you can omit the extracts. The taste will be a bit eggier possibly and not have the maple breakfast flavor. You can also try a little splash of maple syrup if you want the flavor but don’t have the extract.

Can I substitute a different flour for the almond flour? Yes, you can substitute in an all-purpose gluten free flour if you wish. I have not tried this, but it should work. In this case, you may just want to whisk it up in a bowl since the texture of all-purpose flour is much finer than almond flour.
