Easy Farmhouse BBQ Muffin Cups {keto/low carb}
These Farmhouse BBQ Muffin Cups are a perfect Keto-friendly recipe. Bite-sized and perfect for one, these low carb hamburger muffins are packed full of taste and flavor. Great for a quick and easy dinner. The keto biscuit cup recipe comes together quickly with just a few ingredients.
HOW TO MAKE FARMHOUSE BBQ MUFFIN CUPS
These quick and easy Farmhouse BBQ Low Carb Muffin Cups are very similar to my Taco Cups with a little twist on the ground beef seasoning. They turned out amazingly delicious, and everyone loved them.
While the ground beef is browning, you can whip up a quick batch of BBQ Sauce. My homemade Sugar-Free Low Carb BBQ Sauce recipe takes this recipe up a notch and gives the ground beef an authentic BBQ flavor. If you don’t have time to make it, you can find sugar-free BBQ sauce online and possibly in your local grocery store, although it is not as tasty as the homemade version.

Ingredients:
- Ground Beef – I use 80/20 ground beef, but you can also use ground turkey.
- Homemade Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce – I love this keto-friendly BBQ sauce.
- Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese – The more cheese, the better.
- Coconut flour – An approved low carb flour.
- Sour Cream – Adds moisture to the batter for the biscuit part of the recipe.
- Eggs – Binds and holds the ingredients together.
- Herbs & Spices – Spices bring life to recipes and add incredible flavors!

Steps to making keto farmhouse bbq muffins:
Make sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for the full recipe with instructions and ingredients.
Step 1: Brown 1 lb. of ground beef and drain.
Step 2: Add ground beef and 1 cup of sugar-free BBQ sauce to the skillet. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 3: Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a muffin pan. (I used parchment paper squares in the muffin tins to prevent sticking.) If you don’t use parchment paper squares, make sure to grease the muffin tins generously as coconut flour tends to be sticky.
Step 4: Combine melted butter (I cool mine by popping the bowl in the fridge for 5 min), eggs, salt, and sour cream, then whisk together and add the shredded cheese.
Step 5: Push the biscuit mixture up the sides and bottom of the muffin pan.
Tip: Spray fingers with cooking spray—Pat the batter around the sides of muffin tins to form a cup.
Step 6: Spoon in the ground beef mixture.
Step 6: Sprinkle freshly grated cheese on top of the bbq beef mixture, then bake.
Bake and enjoy it! Y0u’ll love the flavors of this recipe. It’s such a nice change of pace.
Coconut Flour Tips
Low carb flours tend to be very sticky. Make sure to grease your muffin tin generously to keep the Farmhouse BBQ Low Carb Muffin Cups from sticking to the pan. Form the keto biscuit dough like a cup in the muffin tin with your fingers leaving room to fill with the ground beef mixture.
Can you make these eggs, cheese, and hamburger muffins ahead of time?
You can. This is a super simple recipe to meal prep. Once the ground beef is browned, add the tangy sugar-free, low carb BBQ sauce and simmer to incorporate all of the flavors. If you keep ground beef already browned on hand, this step will be even faster. You can read how I do this in my 5 easy steps to meal prep.
HOW TO STORE THESE MADE FROM SCRATCH BEEF CUPS
Store these beef cups in the fridge once baked. They should be good for 2-3 days after making them as long as you keep them in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for later by putting them in a freezer-safe container for later as well.

Thank you for posting this! My family loves the ones we used to mgake with grands biscuits. I can’t wait to make these.
Sure!
Can something other.than coconut flour as I am allergic to coconut?
Sure, you can use almond flour but will need to use 4x as much.
Everyone in my family loved this recipe! Thank you for sharing. Does the nutrition info equal one muffin?
Yay! Glad you all enjoyed it! Yes, it is for one muffin.
Is there any way to substitute the coconut flower for almond flour? Would the measurements be different?
Yes, but they are not 1:1 substitutions for each other. 1/4 cup coconut flour = about 1 cup almond flour.
Do you think I could use parchment muffin liners?
I would think so.
Can you tell me what the texture of the biscuits are like? I’ve made so many recipes with coconut flour and now tend to shy away from them because of the dryness. This recipe looks delicious and I don’t mean to be insulting but I’m a little nervous to waste anymore ingredients. Thank you in advance for answering.
If you don’t like coconut flour, you may not like these. You can sub almond flour, but you’ll need 4x as much.
I made these last night and didn’t notice any dryness! There wasn’t any kind of coconut taste or anything, and I was pretty pleased with the crust. It came out nice and flaky, and made all the picky eaters in the house happy.
So glad you all enjoyed them.
I am not a fan of BBQ sauce. I was wondering if I could make it without or if there was something else I could use like maybe a Keto white sauce? Thoughts?
Feel free to sub whatever sauce you prefer. Of course, I can’t guarantee the outcome, but I would think it would turn out well.
Want to make for dinner. My question is do I use a regular muffin tin or are you using a mini muffin tin? I love your recipes.
Do these freeze well? Thinking about making a double and freezing half
They can definitely be frozen.
We are not a keto family. How would these be made with regular flour?
I would search Pinterest for a recipe for traditional farmhouse bbq muffins.
Is this recipe gluten free. I’ve just started eating gluten free and it’s hard to find recipes. I love this recipe and I’m wanting to try it. Please let me know as soon as you can get to it. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Made these and they were delicious!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed them.
I used to make these from Taste of Home and we loved them. So when I saw your version for making them low carb I was very excited!! I made them yesterday and they don’t disappoint!! These are going in the rotation! Thank you so much!!
Glad you enjoyed them!
Looks Yummy!! But quick question is it 1 muffin = 3 carbs?
Thanks for sharing your yummy Keto/Low Carb recipes….
Yes, 3 carbs. Hope you enjoy!!
What can I substitute braggs amino for as I don’t think it is sold in Australia. Thank you
You can use soy sauce. Braggs Amino is just a healthier version.
Delicious recipe and quick to make! I had all the ingredients on hand, no trip to the grocery store. I will definitely be making these again!
It’s great to have the ingredients for a recipe and not have to make a trip to the store. I’m glad you liked them!
