Easy Weekday Breakfast Muffins

We try out best to steer clear of high sugar breakfast recipes. A sugar crash can make anyone feel gross, and who wants to start their day that way? Cereals and frozen goodies are a quick and easy option, and I am the first to raise my hand and admit I can sometimes be guilty of doing that.

That’s why I love making these breakfast muffins. They are quick and easy to make and packed full of healthy protein. You can customize the recipe to please even the pickiest of eaters, and make them ahead of time for an easy and quick breakfast.

These muffins are so quick to prepare and our family really enjoys them. I love that I can make a large batch and have these for a few days in a row. If I don’t eat them all, they are easy to freeze for later.

Breakfast Egg Muffin Variations

The thing I love the most about these breakfast muffins with eggs is the variations you can create. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Use egg whites instead of eggs. Adjust the recipe for 2 egg whites for every egg.
• Use Canadian bacon, Maple-flavored bacon, ham, or even grilled chicken in place of the turkey.
• Add more veggies! Consider mushrooms, red pepper, spinach, or kale.
• Add fresh herbs over dry to give the recipe an extra dose of flavor.
• Remove the potato tot to allow this recipe to fit specific dietary needs.
