Ingredients
Whipping up this homemade breakfast only requires a few ingredients, many of which you probably already have stocked at home!
- breakfast sausage —be sure to check carb count, and look for a variety with no added sugar
- almond flour —this is a powerhouse keto flour. For best results, use almond flour instead of almond meal.
- baking powder
- salt
- brown sugar substitute—I recommend a keto-friendly sweetener such as Swerve or monkfruit.
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- melted butter
- sugar-free maple syrup—I use Wholesome Yum

Instructions
You’ll be amazed at how quickly this delicious morning meal comes together!
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Meanwhile, grease a 9″x13″ casserole dish.
STEP 2: Next, brown sausage in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, crumbling the sausage with a spoon or spatula as it cooks. Use a paper towel to soak up excess grease, then set aside.
STEP 3: Add the remaining ingredients to a large mixing bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth. This will take about 1 minute.
STEP 4: Next, spread the cooked sausage across the bottom of the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Then, pour the batter over the sausage.
STEP 5: Bake for 22-27 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
STEP 6: Finally, slice and serve with additional syrup or scrambled eggs, if desired. Enjoy!
Variations
Want to change it up a bit? Here are a few ideas:
- Bacon casserole: instead of sausage, cook bacon and crumble it at the bottom of your dish.
- Sweet heat: experiment with different types of sausage. If you like a kick, I suggest using Italian hot sausage!
- Make it mini: instead of making this as a keto breakfast casserole, try making individual muffins. Lower the temperature to 325ºF, and shorten the baking time to about 13-15 minutes, depending on your oven.
Storage
If you manage to have any leftovers, place them in the fridge where they will keep for 2-3 days.
This casserole also makes a great make-ahead meal or freezer dish. Simply follow the directions above, then let the casserole cool down. Wrap the dish in cling wrap then aluminum foil.
Enjoy!
