If I don't have something ready to grab, I will stand in front of the fridge for an unreasonable amount of time and walk away with a handful of shredded cheese directly from the bag. Not the worst outcome, but not exactly a snack either. Having a running list of snacks I can actually throw together fast has saved me from a lot of those moments, like ham pinwheels or pork rind nachos. Or, if I want something sweet, I love 3 ingredient chocolate mousse.
Below, you'll find 25 quick keto snack ideas to cover whatever you're in the mood for. Some are savory and crunchy, some are sweet, and a few work as a small meal. All of them are under 8 net carbs and take about 2 minutes to make. Whether you're at your desk, about to head out the door, or just need something before dinner, you'll find something delicious.

I love that you have so many choices. Was ready to quit keto but you changed my mind. Thank you

Tried the Keto muffins. There should be at least some vanilla. I added some chocolate chips and once cooked I topped it with walnuts crumbs and unsweetened chocolate sauce, that made it palatable.
Olivia Wyles says
Thank you for your feedback.

I have revamped this post for 2022. Check it out!
Saffireblue says
The recipe is for English muffins which is like a bread. Its not a recipe for sweet muffins which are more like cake.
From the things you said you added I suspect you were expecting the sweet type of muffin.
This I would split in half and eat toasted with egg and bacon... perhaps cheese in it.
BfloButton says

Doesn’t pork rind and bacon have preservatives and nitrates and is processed food that can cause digestive issues
Galene Nedjoika says
It's fried pig fat. That's all. Read the nutrition label on bag before you buy.
Chris says
There are options for no nitrates, nitrites or preservatives in bacon. Instead, they use celery salt. There are also pork rinds that are organic and minimally processed. Read labels, shop outer edge of the supermarket and moderations.
