Notes

Quick & Easy Protein-Packed Breakfast Muffins 🧁
These savory muffins transformed my classic breakfast recipe into a protein powerhouse! They're perfect for meal prep, packed with nutrients, and super customizable for any taste preference.
The combination of Greek yogurt, turkey, and cheddar creates an incredible flavor profile while boosting the protein content to 10g per muffin - without any protein powder! I love making a double batch on Sundays for grab-and-go breakfasts all week long.
Storage is a breeze - just pop them in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze individual portions for longer storage. When you're ready to enjoy, microwave for 10-15 seconds for that perfect just-baked warmth!
