Keto Meatloaf Muffins Recipe
Here are the ingredients for this yummy keto dinner recipe. You can get the full measurements for the mini meatloafs in the recipe card below.
- Non-Stick Cooking Spray – I like to use avocado non-stick spray. I get my at Costco. Here are the rest of my favorite Keto items from Costco.
- Ground Beef – I like to go for the 80/20 ground beef for the keto diet. It tastes so much better than the leaner ground beef. If you have not tried it, you need to.
- Green Onion – We added some flavor to this recipe by adding some green onions to the mixture.
- Celery – Since celery is a low carb vegetable, we added this into the meatloaf.
- Eggs – The eggs are a huge park of keeping the meatloaf moist and helps with the texture.
- Coconut Flour or Almond Flour – You can use coconut flour or almond flour to make this recipe.
- Garlic Powder & Onion Powder – Make this meatloaf flavorful with these awesome spices.
- Tomato Paste – Look for a low carb tomato paste. Most tomato paste has a few carbs, but a little goes a long way.
- Italian Seasoning – Make this meatloaf extra tasty with a little Italian Seasoning.
- Paprika – You can give your meatloaf a little zing with this paprika.
- Salt & Pepper
- Shredded Cheese
Note: Ground beef can be a bit dry and flavorless on its own. For this recipe, a small amount of finely chopped onion is added to remedy this.
As a result, some excess moisture will rise to the top of these meatloaf muffins as they bake.
This is normal and easily remedied by carefully draining off the excess moisture before adding the cheese as described in Step 4 below.

This is such a fun idea for meatloaf. So much quicker.
Recipe sounds good, but a word of warning…do not let the grease get into the sink drain. It might clog up it up.
Thanks so much. This is great tip. I try to remember to do it when I am cooking.
Can I replace the coconut flour with cake flour?
Cake flour? That does not sound like it is Keto. Sounds like it is regular all purpose flour. I have not tried and it would not recommend.
this looks really good. I cant wait to try them
