Are stuffed mushrooms keto friendly?

Yes, mushrooms are not only keto-friendly, but they are only 15 calories per serving and give a whopping 2.2 g. protein too! This recipe is similar to my favorite low carb spinach artichoke dip.

However, I do recommend making your own stuffed mushrooms, as many restaurants tend to add in extra breading to their baked mushrooms.

How to make keto stuffed mushrooms

There are so many ways to stuff mushrooms, and they pair excellently with cream cheese mixes! Cream cheese helps keep the stuffing bits together while baking inside the mushroom.

Some of my favorites are buffalo chicken and cream cheese, bacon and cream cheese, jalapeño peppers and cream cheese, and more.
