7 Easy Keto Breakfast Ideas (Under 5 Net Carbs)
The easiest keto breakfasts keep net carbs under 5g while delivering protein and healthy fat to keep you full until your eating window opens. Eggs, avocado, full-fat dairy and a handful of green veg are the building blocks — and most of these take ten minutes or can be made ahead.
Fast hot breakfasts
Avocado baked eggs — halve an avocado, crack an egg into each half, top with cheese and bake. Around 3 net carbs and ready in 20 minutes.
A simple omelette with spinach, mushrooms and cheddar comes in under 4 net carbs and takes five minutes in a hot pan.
Make-ahead options
Bacon and spinach egg muffins bake six portions at once at about 1 net carb each, and keep for four days — ideal for busy mornings.
Chia pudding made with coconut milk and a little erythritol can be prepped the night before for a no-cook, fibre-rich start.
When you're skipping breakfast
If you're running a 16:8 fast, your 'breakfast' may simply be black coffee until noon — and that's fine. The recipes above then become an easy first meal that opens your eating window without spiking carbs.

Frequently asked
Can I eat breakfast on keto if I'm fasting?
Yes — fasting and keto are flexible. If you fast in the mornings, treat these recipes as your first meal when your eating window opens. If you eat breakfast, they keep you in ketosis from the first bite.
What's the lowest-carb keto breakfast?
Eggs cooked any way — boiled, scrambled or in an omelette — are close to zero net carbs. Add cheese, bacon or avocado for fat and you have a complete, very-low-carb breakfast.
