Whip up a batch of freshly baked avocado muffins
Whether you're on the go or enjoying a relaxed morning, avocado muffins are a quick, nutritious start to your day.
These aren’t your typical sweet muffins. Instead, they’re a savoury breakfast option that combines the creaminess of avocado with the protein punch of eggs, veggies, and other tasty ingredients. You can whip up a batch in advance and store them in the fridge or freezer, so you always have a quick, healthy breakfast ready to go.
They’re also incredibly versatile – whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or a meat-lover, you can tweak the ingredients to suit your preferences. Add a kick with chilli flakes, or throw in herbs like cilantro or parsley for extra freshness. If you want more protein, throw in some beans or smoked salmon.
