These nut free Keto Jalapeño & Cheddar Cauliflower Muffins are oh so cheesy and delicious! Perfect alongside your bacon and eggs for breakfast, or as a side to your favorite keto soup or chili – these low carb cheddar muffins are going to be a hit any time of day!
I made these low carb cauliflower muffins last week and have been super excited to post about them ever since! Over the course of 2 days, I pretty much only ate these keto jalapeño & cheddar cauliflower muffins, and was happy to do it.
In fact, I was super disappointed when they were all gone, and no I did NOT offer to share with anyone else in the family! ?
These keto jalapeño & cheddar cauliflower muffins don’t really have a bready texture like a muffin, but I wasn’t sure what else to call them. They are cheesy and hearty and taste amazing!
Firm and chewy if you eat them cold, these keto jalapeño & cheddar cauliflower muffins get all soft and cheesy/gooey in the center when you heat them up slightly in the microwave.
SO GOOD!
These keto jalapeño & cheddar cauliflower muffins go perfectly with some some eggs for breakfast or as a veggie side dish to any protein for dinner. Very kid friendly, they are fun to eat and have virtually no cauliflower flavor.
I just bought another head of cauliflower so that I can make these low carb cauliflower muffins again this weekend – I already can’t wait! Hope you guys like them too, as always let me know how they come out!

Hi! I’m a college student who lives off-campus and I needed something to pack and take with me while I’m in class all day. These are perfect, thank you so much!

My turn. In the oven now and with all the good reviews I don’t know if I will be able to wait and let them sit in the oven for an hour! I can’t wait to eat these! The test will be my husband that said “oh no not cauliflower again.” I riced my cauliflower with my food processor and did not have to use any water and that cut some of the preparation time down. So easy to make so I hope they are going to be as delicious because I still have a lot of riced cauliflower that needs to be used up.

Well now I’ll be dying to know if they are a hit or not! Let us know what the verdict was, especially with your husband! :)
Deanne says
i made these tonight. was really hoping they would be of muffin texture somewhat but they werent. they were like a cheesy cauliflower side dish. putting them in a muffin tin doesnt make them a muffin unless they need more coconut flour??

Hi Melissa!
I made these yesterday night and they were a hit! I have to make them again using cheddar (I halved the recipe since I only had a half block of pepper jack cheese). I did have a little trouble getting them completely out of the muffin tin, but they were still good! The texture was reminiscent of a corn muffin and they were very rich! I subbed shallot flakes for onions since that’s what I had on hand. Can’t wait to try your other cauliflower recipes!

These were AMAZING. They tasted way better than i could’ve imagined. Being greedy I ate 3 with dinner lol. Thanks so much for the recipe and I absolutely love your site. Tomorrow I’m making my family The Cauliflower bread sticks you mentioned in another post along with zucchini spaghetti. Thanks again.
Kathy says
I’m making these right now! They are in the oven as I type. I’m sooo excited about these. Tonight I am making a low carb chilli to go along with these and i will report back tomorrow to tell how they turned out and if my family liked them.

Melissa, I usually rice my cauliflower in my food processor, but I’d like to try the blender method. I don’t have a high power blender like a Vitamix. Do you think a regular blender would work?
Sandra says
I made these last night. OMG, they are terrific! I “riced” my cauliflower in the blender and pretty much ended up with a very very fine texture, not at all like rice. I got worried it would not turn out properly, but, surprise, they did. They tasted even better this morning for breakfast. They really reminded me of corn muffins since my cauliflower was the texture of sand! Thank you so much for your great creativity!

Melissa,
These are AMAZING!!!! I made them last night and just ate my first one. I didn’t put the jalapeno in because I don’t like those, but basically these taste like cheesy bread! I’m so excited!
Perfect on the go snack to fill me up – will probably be a weekly must have :)
Mellissa Sevigny says
These are definitely a game changer for me too Lindsay! So glad you’re enjoying them!!!!
Jen says
