Description
These Keto Mock Hashbrown Muffin Bites are a low-carb twist on traditional hashbrowns. Made with riced cauliflower, cheese, and eggs, they offer crispy edges and a fluffy interior, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag (10 oz) Birds Eye Savory Herb Riced Cauliflower (or plain riced cauliflower + ¼ tsp dried herbs)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray (or lightly brush muffin tin with melted butter/ghee)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Use convection if available for crispier edges.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cooked (and slightly cooled) riced cauliflower, cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly—hands work best for these mock hashbrown muffin bites!
- Generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray (or use silicone liners). This is key for easy release of your mock hashbrowns.
- Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ full. Press gently to compact the mock hashbrown muffin bite mixture.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the edges are crisp.
- Let the mock hashbrown muffin bites rest in the tin for 5–10 minutes before removing. This helps them hold their shape and makes them easier to pop out.
Notes
- If using fresh cauliflower, squeeze out ALL water to ensure crispiness for your mock hashbrown muffin bites.
- Wait 10 minutes before removing from the tin to prevent sticking or breakage of the mock hashbrowns.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge (up to 5 days) or freeze (up to 3 months). Reheat in oven, toaster oven, or air fryer.
