Busy Morning Egg Muffins

These versatile egg muffins make the perfect busy morning breakfast. We recommend making these in advance on the weekend and popping them in the fridge (or freezer) so that all you have to do is re-heat them in the microwave when you wake up. These would even work as a healthy lunch paired with a simple green salad.

Within the recipe, we included several different mix-in variations depending on what you are craving but feel free to get creative – there’s really no wrong combination!

A protein-packed breakfast like this one will keep you energized and satisfied all morning long!
