We’re always in need of a quick and healthy breakfast, am I right? Then look no further than these egg muffins. Packed with protein — and flavor — these little gems will power you up after your workout, or just help get you through classes.
The great thing about these muffins is that they’re perfect for making ahead. As a busy student who depends on meal prep, I practically live out of my freezer, especially when it comes to breakfast. It’s easy to find myself in that awful morning time crunch if I don’t have something ready to go when I’m rushing out the door.
If you’re not to going to devour all of these at once (not that I’d blame you), you can save them for later. Place the egg muffins on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, pop them into the freezer until frozen, then transfer them to a gallon-sized freezer bag. Your sleep-deprived self will thank you.
