Keto Blueberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Bake – A Comforting, Low-Carb Morning Favorite

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings: 9 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Cream cheese: 8 ounces, softened
  • Eggs: 4 large
  • Unsalted butter: 4 tablespoons, melted and slightly cooled
  • Almond flour: 1 1/2 cups, finely blanched
  • Granular keto sweetener: 1/2 cup (erythritol, monk fruit blend, or allulose)
  • Vanilla extract: 2 teaspoons
  • Baking powder: 1 1/2 teaspoons
  • Sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Blueberries: 1 cup fresh or frozen (do not thaw if using frozen)
  • Heavy cream: 1/4 cup
  • Lemon zest: 1 teaspoon (optional but brightens the flavor)
  • Cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon (optional, for a warm note)
  • Cooking spray or butter: For greasing the pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Soften the cream cheese: If it’s still cold, microwave it for 10–15 seconds at a time until soft. This helps it blend smoothly.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sweetener until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Add the lemon zest to the dry mix if you like.
  5. Bring it together: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Don’t overmix—stop once there are no dry streaks.
  6. Add blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, reserving a small handful for the top. If using frozen berries, work quickly to prevent streaking.
  7. Assemble: Pour the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Scatter the reserved blueberries over the surface for a pretty finish.
  8. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 28–35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool and set: Let it cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. It will firm up as it cools, making it easier to slice.
  10. Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy warm or at room temperature. Add a dollop of whipped cream if you want to dress it up.
