Gluten Free Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Muffins – Fresh & Easy Kitchen Hacks
One of the things we miss going gluten free is muffins. It’s sad, right? We’re watching all our friends in the fancy coffee shops and they get their muffins. We, get nada. Well today my friends, I’m changing all that! You too can now enjoy these Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Muffins. I actually completely failed making a recipe for something else.
The results were breakfast muffins and a kitchen hack for those of us who can’t have gluten. I just kind of stumbled into keeping the no-muffin sad faces away! And, that keeps my tummy happy! Winning!
So, let’s get to it!
Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Muffins
Ingredients:
- Shredded Hash Browns (about 1/4 cup per muffin)
- Eggs (3 eggs for every 4 muffins)
- Splash of Milk
- Shredded Cheese (lots or little, your call)
- Bacon (cooked, drained, crumbled – 1/2 piece per muffin)
- Salt & Pepper (to taste)
- Whatever else you like to put in eggs, feel free!
Directions:
You are going to preheat the oven to 400* to kick off these breakfast muffins (did I mention they were gluten free? *!!!!*)
Put frozen hash browns in a bowl (1/4 cup per muffin tin) Microwave until warm but do not cook. Yes, they will be a little mushy. We need to press those mushy taters between some paper towel. Get the water out.
Season with salt & pepper.
Spray muffin pan with non stick spray. Now, here comes part 1 of our kitchen hack!
Drop hash browns into muffin tin. Press down and form the sides to make sort of a hash brown basket. I called it a ‘nest’, my husband says it’s a basket. But, you get the picture, right?
Bake for 15 minutes or until they start to turn brown.
While all that magic basket / nest is happening….
Prepare your egg mixture. Like if you were making an omelet! We used eggs, splash of milk, season all, pepper, red and green pepper, shredded cheese and of course bacon. Scramble those up well!
Here’s the 2nd part of our kitchen hack, turning potatoes into gluten free muffins!!
Add egg mixture to each muffin tin. Fill 2/3 of the way.
**HELPFUL TIP**
You may want to use a spoon so you get equal amounts of the good stuff (like bacon) into each tin. Bake another 15 minutes (eggs will fill the potato nest / baskets and soak in)
They puff up into breakfast muffins ya’ll!
See! Gluten Free Breakfast Muffins! Enjoy!
Another awesome kitchen hack we do with hash brown – Prepare in a waffle maker for perfectly crispy hash browns. No frying, much lighter. Still yummy!

These look delicious! We aren’t gluten free in our house, but I do love cheese and bacon!
Dawn says
I’m loving this! It’s all my favorite breakfast foods in one tiny, delicious package!
Jennifer says
Hash browns, eggs, and bacon in a tiny bite sized form? Yes, please!
Nicole says
So many people don’t realize that some things we eat are just naturally gluten free. If you don’t have Ciliac’s Disease or something else that demands you to be gluten free, though, it’s really not good for you because you deprive yourself of nutrients.
Sassy says
Everything is a balancing act for sure!
It’s been some tough adjustments
Nicole says
Not true. Gluten is not a nutrient. You can get all the nutrients you need without gluten in your diet. There is no need for wheat in a diet to survive–you can get the B vitamins and trace minerals from other foods.
April Smith Decheine says

Sassy says
Potatoes are for sure! This is just shredded potatoes 🙂
I was super excited my mistake turned into awesome!
Pam says
Some hashbrowns aren’t, like the patties, but luckily for people like my daughter, most brands are just pure potato! The pure potato ones taste better anyway.
Debbie Denny says
This is fantastic. Love having it all in one nice package.

What a yummy muffin! Looks super easy to make. I can’t wait to try!
Chrysa Duran says
Love kitchen hacks!!! Your breakfast muffins look delish. My fav. hack is to have a freezer bag in the freezer for veggies. We toss in leftover veggies from dinner. When the bag gets full we make veggie soup!
Dina says
I love that you can make hash browns in a waffle maker. I have to try this!
Jodi @ A Mom Having Fun says
Wow, those look so delicious! I am not gluten free, but I am striving for it! It’s really hard for me to give up some things such as pizza, and a few desserts! lol I know of many people who do not have celiac disease, but who’s doctor has recommend they try it for other things, such as IBS. It was worked wonderfully for them! Plus, it is a lot hard for older women to digest. Since I have IBS (TMI) and am um older… What the heck? 🙂 What makes them gluten free? The egg mixture? Totally doing these.
April Decheine says
These look so good, pretty sure I pinned these already onto my Gluten Free Interest board. What a good breakfast!
Anne says
This looks tasty! My son is supposed to start a gluten free diet on Monday, to see if it helps his stomach problems. I have been looking for breakfast ideas, because he doesn’t want omelets every morning, and this looks like it would work.
Jennifer says
Update: I made these yesterday. They are AH-mazing! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
Dawn says
These muffins look amazing. I love all the gluten free recipes that are starting to trend!

I don’t even eat gluten free but I want to eat these! Breakfast muffins sound great.
Margaret says
I love finding Gluten-free recipes. I’m not GF but I have family members that are. It’s nice to have yummy recipes to make them when they come to visit. I’m visiting from Inspire Me Wednesday. I also started following you on FB.
Apple Pie at Sisterswives.com says
These look delicious. Thanks. I love that they are gluten free
Michelle says
I love potatoes in any and all forms, so the idea of a hash brown nest wins me over. Oh, and bacon, of course!
