Now that I’m working from home, I’m lucky enough to have the luxury of cooking interesting breakfasts day to day, but it’s very easy to lose track of time in the kitchen and I’m trying to keep to a strict schedule of work and breaks. Therefore it’s just as important for me to meal prep, even though I’m only a few seconds away from the kitchen!

Meal Prepping Your Breakfast Muffins

This recipe is ideal for meal prep, because egg muffins will last in the fridge for three days. This means you can make your Breakfast Muffins on a Sunday night and not have to think about breakfast until Thursday morning. Then all you’ve got to do is make another couple of batches on Wednesday night and you’re set until the weekend! This recipe makes enough for two days, so simply scale up and down as desired.

      Hi Hayley, I'm afraid I don't count calories on my blog but you could work it out from the ingredients if you need to track them ?

    Stuck in the tins so didn't look anything like these pictures although they tasted good. I sprayed non stick tins so don't understand why. Any ideas

      Hi Jan, that's odd. What kind of tins were you using? There's no reason they should stick, just as an egg wouldn't stick on a non-stick pan normally, so I can't imagine why. I use silicone tins sometimes to make them easy to slide out, but they should work in either kind.

      I haven't personally tried it but can't see any reason why not!
