Do you ever skip breakfast and, come lunch time, feel absolutely ravenous, end up overeating and maybe even feel exhausted for most of the afternoon? Or maybe feel hungry a few hours after dinner, causing you to snack on whatever you can find for most of the evening? I find breakfast meal prep recipes to be one of my most effective ways to help change these patterns of eating, and these savory, high-protein breakfast muffins are a great option. Not only are they delicious, but contain about 20g of protein per muffin! I love to keep these in the freezer for an easy, nutritious and delicious breakfast, to help start any day of the week off on the right foot.

Substitute meat for these crispy fritters in any recipe - salads, wraps, sandwiches or even just with your favourite whole grain and vegetable!
