Sounds crazy, we know, but it’s a game changer for busy mornings! We’ve given you the makings for a 5 minute breakfast that will keep you full and satisfied until your next meal, whether it’s lunch or dinner.
Who Doesn’t Love Coffee For Breakfast?
Coffee is a must have in our household. We start off every morning with a powerful fatty cup of coffee no matter the day. While Matt can go all morning with just coffee and fat in his system, I on the other hand have a lot of mornings where I need something more filling to get me going on the right foot. And, that is where this breakfast coffee comes into play. I love sipping on something as I sort through emails and write blog posts, but now I can sip on my coffee and my breakfast too. Packed with fat and protein I can make it until lunch with this breakfast coffee.
Easy Low Carb Breakfasts
Just like you, we are always on the prowl for easy breakfasts for our busy mornings, and this breakfast coffee is perfect for that! It’s quick to throw together and take with you on the go in a to-go cup, and it will keep you full and satisfied until lunch. Some of our other favorite keto breakfasts for on the go are our macro muffins, bacon egg cups and breakfast cookies! They can all be prepared a week in advance and stored in the fridge for something easy to grab in the morning when you are rushing out the door.
Keto Breakfast Coffee
I’ve never been someone who can only have coffee for breakfast – I love food way too much! That was until now. Matt recently introduced me to this keto breakfast coffee recipe that has changed the way I breakfast. Combining the caffeine from the coffee with the protein from the protein powder and fat from the whipping cream and yolk makes this the perfectly balanced breakfast to start my day off. We highly recommend you at least give this keto breakfast coffee a try before you decide one way or the other!

Keto Breakfast Coffee
Ingredients:
- 8-12 oz Coffee
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 large egg yolk
- 10 grams vanilla protein powder
- 10-15 drops Liquid Stevia
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl add the heavy cream and egg and mix using a hand mixer to combine, about 30-45 seconds.
- Add the protein powder and stevia and combine once more.
- As you are mixing the cream mixture with the hand mixer slowly add in 2-3 tbsp of the hot coffee until fully incorporated. Pour the cream and coffee mixture into the coffee cup with the remaining coffee and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
I didn’t think raw eggs were good for you.
I wonder if liquid egg whites (boxed) would be better because it is pasteurized and you can drink it
Aaaaa…yolk and egg white are not the same.
The yolk is full of the collegen and fats we need…
As long as the integrity of the egg shell hasn’t been compromised, you don’t have much to worry about.
I’ve added egg yolk to smoothies in the past and LOVED it. I’m going to try this tomorrow!! I’m thinking about omitting the protein powder to better fit my macros. Does it add much besides the flavor of the protein?
Great recipe but here’s how I altered it. I used instant powdered milk instead of protein powder (I don’t like the long ingredient list in most protein powders), the whole egg (I have been doing this for years), coconut sugar, and 1 tablespoon hi-maize resistant starch (a fiber addition). When I receive my Oat fiber, I will use that for fiber as well. Sweeteners, even Stevia, and half cane sugar/half Stevia, all give me a ghost image in my left eye, so I use coconut sugar to taste, usually 2 teaspoons. I drink this with a Keto high-fiber muffin. The muffin and the hi-maize resistant starch give me 19 grams of fiber, so I don’t have to make a career out of calculating fiber for the day. I don’t know anyone who has enough time for all this body-monitoring, but we all do the best we can.
The Keto hi-fiber muffin is a winner.
FYI – The last sentence in Step 1 is repeated by itself as Step 2.
Thanks 🙂 got it fixed!
So did you know i searched your site lastnight for a way to incorporate my protein powder with my coffee. I didnt see anything but I see this now-yeah! I have unflavored. I was gonna scared to try it. I will now just to taste it. TY
I love this recipe, my morning coffee/breakfast is much the same. But I would like to suggest pasteurizing the eggs first to avoid salmonella. Easy to do, eggs in a pot of water on the stove, bring water to 140 degrees for 3 minutes. This doesn’t cook the egg but it does kill the germs. Love you two!
Thanks for posting this comment! I can’t believe I never even thought about doing this at home. And I have a sous vide, so it will be even easier. WOW!
Is it safe to eat raw egg yolks? Well that’s a stupid question. If it wasn’t you wouldn’t be doing it. Have a good one
I must admit I was skeptical, but I went ahead and changed up my bulletproof coffee for this today. I skipped the stevia, because I figured the sweetener in the protein powder was enough. Super tasty and filling! I’m going to be out with my kids all day, and I think this’ll tide me over while I’m out.
Can I put everything into a nutribullet n blend?
That should work!
Will this Fat coffee spike the glycemic index and thwart Intermittent Fasting?
From everything I’ve read on Intermittent Fasting, this would break your fast. So you should have it during your eating window only.
I just couldn’t do this with my compromised liver.
I recently read that this country is the only first world country that doesn’t inoculate chickens for salmonella. Since then I’ve stopped consuming raw eggs. I learned how to pasteurize raw egg yolks but not the entire egg. Do you buy pasteurized eggs? Or how do you deal with this?
Thanks, we love your recipes and will continue to try more.
We do in fact buy pasteurized eggs!
This is a game charger for me. Thank you! I tried the Bulletproof Coffee but it just didn’t sit with me. My stomach felt unsettled. This I had no issues with and it was yummy.
That’s wonderful to hear! The protein definitely helps balance out the fat 🙂
Hi! I am new to the keto lifestyle: I’ve been on the keto diet for just about 30 days. I have been reading The Keto Zone Diet Book by Dr. Don Colbert. Each morning I drink a cup of Keto Zone Coffee (a scoop MCT Oil Powder, 1 tablespoon Ghee Butter, grass-fed butter, or 1 tablespoon avocado oil, and 1 teaspoon decaf coffee), which keeps me full for most of the day. It only has 1gram net carbs. It calls for Stevia, which adds 1 gram net carbs. Because I’ve always drank my coffee without cream and sugar, I thought the Keto Zone Coffee would be too sweet, so I disregarded the Stevia. I find the coffee very pleasant and occasionally have a second cup during the day.
Please tell me if the egg yolk in your Keto Breakfast Coffee changes the overall coffee taste? What kind of protein powder do you use, and how quickly does your coffee get you into ketosis? What would you describe as the overall health benefits to drinking your coffee as compared to drinking the Keto Zone Coffee? I appreciate your feedback.
When it comes to coffee, whatever you prefer in terms of taste and fullness is probably what works best for you! The yolk doesn’t add any particular taste, but helps up the fat and makes it more of a meal replacement so you can stay full until your next meal. We have linked the protein powder we use in the ingredients and normally shoot for Isopure!
Why not add the whole egg?
You could probably use a whole egg, it might change the consistency.
Love your videos, experiments, and recipes; and THANK YOU so much for sharing it all! And keeping it “free.” 🙂
Wondering if you could/would include the nutrition info, even if it’s in smaller text, to the actual recipes, so it’s all in one place if it’s printed? I don’t use the fitness pal app but would like to add it to the app I do use, without having to come back and find the nutrition info on the website or write it down separately. Just a thought/request. 🙂
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOU TWO DO FOR THE KETO PEEPS ON THE PLANET!
People commented on raw egg but I would think the hot coffee is enough to take care of that.
Do you feel this would work with tea as well?
Probably, yes!
Can i use xytol suar
What is 10 grams of protein powder?
1/3 of a scoop.
I make something similar to this for my breakfast except I use whole eggs. I do not like the taste of undercooked eggs though so I heat my mixture in the microwave to a minimum of 150 degrees Fahrenheit which gets rid of the undercooked egg flavor and helps kill any bacteria from the egg. I can taste the undercooked egg or egg yolk (I have tried both). I think cooking the mixture changes the taste and gives it a nice custard flavor when finished.
I use my Vitamix on low to mix the egg, cream, stevia, and, protein powder. Temper the egg mix with the coffee in the Vitamix, transfer to a quart mason jar and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and check temperature every 15-30 seconds until the mixture rises to at least 150 degrees. Then transfer back to a clean Vitamix cup and blend on low to make sure that the mixture is smooth and did not get chunky in the microwave. Sometimes I add a large pinch of glucomannan powder to the initial cool egg mixture if I want my egg coffee thicker.
I find it important to only use low with the Vitamix so that the mixture does not get too foamy. Try not to heat the mixture too much over 150 degrees because it may get chunky when closer to 170 degrees (if that happens, smooth the mixture with the Vitamix).
I have a chocolate bone broth powder that I got from natural grocers. You can drink it hot or cold. When i drink it hot i add hot water, mocha mct oil, and sometime heavy whipping cream. Tastes amazing! Like a rich hot chocolate…and a lot like cheating on keto lol when i have it cold I mix it it with ice and taste like a chocolate shake. You guys should try it! You guus are my favorite!
I love this recipe! I’ve been lifting pretty heavily and need a little more fat, so I throw in a couple tablespoons of MCT oil into the mix and it’s perfect!
Yep. 🙂
Can i use erythritol sweetner instead of stevia… I already go it from online
Yep 🙂
Hi, I’m just starting Keto. I don’t like protein powder because of the taste. Is there anything else I can add to up the protein or is the protein powder you buy havevan after taste? I would like to try this but need a solution to the protein part, or do I really need it?
You can just omit it. 🙂
You can just omit it.
Use powdered egg yolks for the regular egg yolks. Works great but changes carb count.just make sure the one you get is just egg yolk and not other things in it.
Been wondering what to do with my vanilla protein powder, and had some left over coffee from this morning, so I made an iced coffee this evening to give me some pep for meal prep … man this is so GOOD!
Hey Megha and Matt! I am not too sure if you’ll get to read this comment, but OMG…I just made the Morning Coffee to hold me over until dinner and I am in LOVE!! I wasn’t too sure about adding the raw egg, but I am so glad I did. It was absolutely delicious! Thank you for creating such a delicious recipe!
I like your site so far, but please don’t ruin a good cup of coffee. Just drink it black, created without a filter (use a strainer) and using clean, purified water. The same can be done for tea.
The filter is full of dioxin which is not only carcinogenic, but has a bitter taste which is infused in the coffee/tea.
Much healthier and way better tasting product!
You guys are awesome, I just came across your site today. Thanks for all you do for us
Hello, I’m new here and this recipe isn’t coming up in the Carb Manager App. Any idea why? Thank you so much!
We add recipes to My Fitness Pal, not Carb manager
I have been using 2 tbsp. of butter to 2 cups of coffee with all your other ingredients. Do you recommend the egg instead?
I feel like I need to put MCT oil in everything… would it be ok to add it to the egg coffee?
Its really up to your personal preference.
