🥄 Instructions:

1. Prep Your Crust (Optional):

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Mix almond flour, melted butter, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl.

• Press about a tablespoon of dough into the bottom of a greased muffin tin (silicone liners work great).

• Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.

2. Make the Filling:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, allulose, and maple syrup or extract.

• Stir in cheese, bacon bits, and onion (if using). Season lightly with salt and pepper.

3. Assemble & Bake:

• Pour filling over crusts (or directly into greased muffin cups if crustless), filling each about ¾ full.

• Bake for 18–22 minutes, until set and golden on top. A toothpick should come out clean.

4. Cool & Serve:

• Let cool for 5–10 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or refrigerate for a quick grab-n-go meal!

FAQ – Keto Maple Bacon Mini Quiches

Q1: Can I make these quiches crustless?
A1: Absolutely! Omitting the almond flour crust lowers the carb count even further. Simply grease the muffin tin and pour the filling directly in.

Q2: Can I substitute the bacon with other proteins?
A2: Yes! Try diced sausage, pancetta, or even turkey bacon for a different flavor profile.

Q3: Can I make these ahead of time?
A3: Definitely. Bake, let cool, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. They also freeze well for up to a month.

Q4: Can I use a different cheese?
A4: Yes. Cheddar or Gouda works beautifully, but you can also experiment with mozzarella, Swiss, or a blend for extra flavor.

Q5: How can I make these more savory or add vegetables?
A5: Mix in spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions to boost nutrition and flavor.

Q6: Can I make them sweet or more “maple-forward”?
A6: You can increase Keystone Pantry Allulose or add a few extra drops of sugar-free maple syrup for a slightly sweeter bite.
