Healthy Meal-Prep Breakfast Recipes

Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE sweet breakfasts. Goodness, looking back through some of the breakfast archives makes me realize it’s been way too long since I’ve made some of these meal-prep breakfast recipes!

Breakfast Cookies:

Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Breakfast Cookies

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

Granola Bars/Bites:

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip No Bake Granola Bars

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Dough Bites

And this doesn’t even begin to cover oatmeal and muffin recipes! Clearly, I have a thing for breakfast (and baking). ?

I love broccoli and cheddar together, and the salty ham is a delicious addition. These broccoli cheddar ham egg muffin cups are also perfectly portioned and easy for on-the-go!

I love having a couple of these egg muffins paired with fruit and yogurt or toast, etc. during the weekdays.

Anyways, moving on how to make these egg muffins! I’ve made many different varieties of egg muffins over the years, and the great thing is that they are SUPER customizable based on your preferences and what you have on hand!

Ingredients and Substitution Ideas:

Broccoli

Feel free to use pretty much any veggie here: chopped spinach, bell peppers, onion, carrots, tomatoes, etc.!

Ham

If you want these egg muffins to be vegetarian, feel free to omit and add extra veggies instead. Bacon or chicken sausage would also be delicious. (I like using a pre-cooked meat here such as ham/chicken sausage to save time).

Cheddar cheese

I love using sharp cheddar in this recipe for a stronger flavor, and I find it pairs so well with the ham and broccoli (classic). But white cheddar, gouda, provolone, swiss, mozzarella, feta, etc. would all be great too! Use your favorite cheese.

Eggs

Well, you can’t really make egg muffins without eggs……………….?‍♀️?

Milk

I used 2% dairy milk, but any type of milk should work!

Hope you love this recipe too! ?
