Avo bacon muffins are savory breakfast cups loaded with everything good — crispy bacon, diced avocado, melted cheese, and spring onion in a fluffy egg-and-almond base. They steam in the Instant Pot in two quick batches, and each muffin is just 144 calories with barely a carb in sight. Meal prep gold.

Pro Tips
- Cook and crumble the bacon first — raw bacon won't crisp inside the steamed muffin, and the crumbles distribute better through the batter.
- Fold the avocado, bacon, onions, and cheese in last so the chunks stay intact instead of mashing into the batter.
- Fill 16 muffin cups and steam in two batches of 8 — overcrowding the Instant Pot means unevenly cooked muffins.
- The psyllium husk powder gives the muffins their bread-like lift; don't skip it or the texture turns dense and eggy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bake these muffins instead?
Yes — bake at 350°F until set and golden. The Instant Pot version is faster and keeps them extra moist.
How many does the recipe make?
Sixteen muffins at about 144 calories each — enough for a week of grab-and-go breakfasts.
Are they keto?
Yes — just 1.7g net carbs per muffin, with fat from the avocado, bacon, cheese, and coconut milk doing the satisfying work.
How should I store them?
Refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 5 days and rewarm gently. They also freeze well for busy mornings.
