Mock Hashbrown Muffin Bites (Keto-Friendly)


  • Author: OliviaBennett

Description

Hey there, friend! If you love the crispy, comforting goodness of hashbrowns but want to keep it low-carb or keto-friendly, these Keto Hashbrown Muffin Bites are about to change your life. Made with riced cauliflower, cheese, and eggs, they’re golden, crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside, and ready in under 30 minutes. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, snacks, or meal prep—these little bites are versatile, satisfying, and totally addictive.


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: 375°F (190°C). Use convection if available for crispier edges.

  • Prepare the mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine cooked (and slightly cooled) riced cauliflower, cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly—hands work best!

  • Prep the muffin tin: Generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray (or use silicone liners).

  • Fill the cups: Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ full. Press gently to compact.

  • Bake: 25 minutes, or until tops are golden and edges crisp.

  • Cool: Let muffins rest in the tin for 5–10 minutes before removing. This helps them hold their shape and makes them easier to pop out.

Notes

Chef’s Tips

  • Moisture matters: If using fresh cauliflower, squeeze out ALL water to ensure crispiness.

  • Don’t rush cooling: Wait 10 minutes before removing from the tin to prevent sticking or breakage.

  • Make ahead: 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.
