Slow Cooker Low-Carb Breakfast Ideas

Breakfast is one of the hardest meals to alter when it comes to different diet and lifestyle 
routines. In the case of low-carb diets, it is even more difficult to alter common foods to 
fit the diet. This is primarily due to the large number of breakfast foods containing 
breads and carbs of some kind that are combined with sugars and syrups. If you are 
facing the issue of converting breakfast foods to your low-carb diet, or finding the time to 
even make the recipes you do find, then consider these slow cooker low-carb breakfast 
ideas.

Bacon and Cheese Quiche

Quiche is one of those breakfast dishes that brings to mind a bit of indulgence. It is 
something that most people have on Sunday mornings during a brunch. You can have 
these indulgence in your slow cooker in the form of a low-carb bacon and cheese 
quiche. The recipe, like many slow cooker and crockpot options, is easy. For a full slow 
cooker, you will need at least 10 slices of bacon, 10 eggs, some heavy cream, sharp 
cheddar cheese, butter, spinach, chopped onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix the 
ingredients, minus the bacon, and put into the slow cooker. Top the mix with the bacon 
slices. Cook for 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high. 

Low-Carb Granola

Granola is a common breakfast for many people. This is especially true if you want to 
get in your protein and your fiber for the day without overloading on carbs. If you aren't 
sold on a low-carb option in the store, then maybe this slow cooker version will grab 
you. You will need 2 cups of mixed nuts. Go for non-tin nuts. Things like pecans, 
walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds are best for this. You can also buy the smaller bags 
since you will only be needing 2 cups total. Next you will need 2 cups of seeds. 
Sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds are ideal. Mix the nuts with coconut oil, vanilla 
extract, unsweetened shredded coconut, stevia, cinnamon, and salt. Mix everything and 
cook in the slow cooker for 2 hours on high or until toasted. Place on a cookie sheet to 
dry for at least one hour. Serve with milk or low-carb Greek yogurt. 

Low-Carb Egg Muffins    

Sometimes you just need something that is an on the go grab and eat type of food. You 
may be thinking that this will rule out the slow cooker. It doesn't. There is a great way to 
get an on the go breakfast that is low-carb and in a slow cooker. Low-carb egg muffins 
use eggs, cheese, spinach, and sausage. Mix the ingredients together and put inside 
the slow cooker. Cook for 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low. You can cut muffin sized 
rounds out while they are still in the slow cooker, or you can line the slow cooker with a 
slow cooker liner for easy removal and muffin cutting.

These are just three of the go to slow cooker low-carb breakfast ideas you can use on 
your new diet. Keep in mind, these are designed with getting a protein boost in mind. If 
you are interested in other options for your breakfast, such as getting a boost of 
vegetables or fruits, play around with these options to fit your low-carb needs and 
tastes.
