Keto Freezer Meals

An epic collection of make ahead keto freezer meals! Everything from breakfast to dessert, plus tips on how to freeze and store food. 50+ keto meal prep recipes.

When I asked readers what they wanted to see during these crazy times, an overwhelming number responded that they wanted more keto freezer meals.

I can totally dig it! We freeze a lot of prepped food to make the keto lifestyle easier. We make big batches of keto soups, chilis, and casseroles all the time and I’ve come to understand what freezes well and what doesn’t.

And because I bake so often, I frequently freeze my keto muffins and cookies. Most keto baked goods freeze very well when sealed up tightly. Getting out as much air as possible is important to avoid freezer burn.

So check out this amazing round up of freezable keto meals and let’s get cooking!

Freezable Keto Dinners

Keto Casseroles

For most casserole recipes, the best way to freeze is to fully cook and cool them first. You can then freeze the entire pan, or divide them up into individual servings.

Wrap them up tightly to avoid freezer burn, and let them thaw completely before re-heating in the oven.

Keto Soups, Chilis, and Stews

Many stews and soups freeze well after cooking and cooling. Store in non-toxic airtight containers like glass jars and BPA-free plastic.

But steer clear of things with a lot of cream and cream cheese, as these can curdle from the freezing and thawing process. Since cream and cream cheese are usually added at the end of cooking, you can always freeze the soup without these additions and add when you reheat.

Freezable Keto Baked Goods

Most almond flour and coconut flour baked goods freeze quite well and can help you prep ahead for busy times. Muffins, scones, biscuits, cookies, and unfrosted cakes are easy to freeze and don’t suffer at all from the freezing and thawing.

Custard based recipes don’t always fare quite as well, because they can change consistency and sometimes get a bit lumpy. But cheesecake freezes very well, and you can divvy them up into individual portions for when the cravings strike.

I have so many freezable keto baked goods, it doesn’t make sense to list them all here but are a few ideas:

• Keto Muffin Recipes – all of these will freeze well.
• Keto Magic Mozzarella Dough – you can freeze this but it does lose elasticity. I recommend rolling it into a pizza crust first, and freezing it unbaked.
• Keto Cookies tend to freeze well, and a few can be frozen unbaked.
• Keto biscuits are very freezer friendly. I will make a big batch and then toss the leftovers into a ziplock bag for another meal down the road.
• Keto cheesecake recipes freeze quite well, as long as they are tightly wrapped.
• Keto Cake Recipes – The general rule of thumb for cakes is to freeze them unfrosted, as frosting can change consistency. But I have sometimes frozen frosted cakes and enjoyed them later, knowing that they may not be quite as good as they would have been fresh.
• Keto Blueberry Scones – really any scones will freeze well.
• Keto Angel Food Cake – yep, this lovely unfrosted cake freezes delightfully well. It can dry out easily so make sure you wrap it up very tightly first.
