We think breakfast can be the most challenging keto meal of the day. It is too easy to get stuck in a rut. Eggs again? Great.

Here are some KetoVie Café breakfast inspirations to help you mix it up.

1. Kwik Mix Donuts 4:1

This simple recipe uses our standard Kwik Mix waffle/pancake recipe, but you prepare it using a mini-donut maker. You can get as creative as you want, adding on whipped cream, nuts, carb-free frosting or sprinkles (food coloring + Truvia). Pictured below is a plain vanilla (using DaVinci Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup) and a chocolate (unsweetened cocoa powder) variety.

1. • Ingredients

28g KetoVie Café Kwik Mix (¼ cup)
30g heavy cream, 36% (2 Tbsp)
37g egg, beaten well (¼ cup)
10g canola oil (2 tsp)
7g water (2 tsp)

• Directions

Heat mini-donut maker and grease with cooking spray.
Whisk all ingredients until blended and pour on donut molds.
Close the lid and wait for indicator light to tell you it is finished.

Allow to cool.

2. Wholesome Bread Chicken Biscuit

Okay, so maybe it’s not really a biscuit, but it’s really good! We use a Wholesome Bread roll to make this delicious breakfast sandwich.

• Ingredients

50g Wholesome Bread 3.5:1 (1 roll)

9g Claussen Kosher Dill Pickle Chips (2 chips); save some pickle juice for  marinating

31g Chicken breast, raw, no skin (1oz)

10g Hellmann’s Mayonnaise (2 tsp)

10g Olive oil (2 tsp)

• Directions

Trim your chicken breast down to the desired portion. You can butterfly (slice through the middle) to get a bigger surface area. Marinate your piece of chicken in pickle juice for 10 minutes. Pat dry and salt/pepper.

Pour oil in a heated pan and cook chicken breast through. Remove from pan.

Slice bread roll in half and toast on both sides in the oiled pan. The goal is to soak up any remaining oil. Allow bun to cool.

Swipe mayo on the inside of your toasted roll.

Assemble your sandwich with cooked chicken and pickles.

Roll the dough balls around in the bacon bits to coat.
