These are quick and easy Paleo Egg Muffins are so convenient, packed with flavor, veggies, and meat and taste great. They are jam-packed with flavor and come together relatively quickly. They are full of color, texture, and healthy ingredients including sausage, spinach, and peppers.

These Paleo breakfast egg muffins are a high protein and low carb meal and can be eaten alone or served with a green smoothie (which is my favorite way to eat them). I think the best part about them is you can make them fresh or you can make them ahead of time and heat them up for when you or other family members are rushing out the door.

My 10-year-old son loves these, although he usually doesn't want the veggies. I make them the night before and he eats them for his breakfast and lunch for the next day or two. They are really portable and he will eat them cold just fine.

There aren't any flours so they pull together quickly and I love that they are healthy, but he doesn't even care about that since they taste good.

A tip I can give you is to make sure you get as much grease as possible off the sausage before you put it in the muffins, or else they turn in to a big, greasy, burning mess on the bottom of your oven. Don't ask me how I know that . . .

With these egg muffins, you can have your entire meal in your hand. Plus, they are easy to customize just how you like them. Add or take away veggies, swap out the sausage for bacon or add in your favorite cheese.

Make them ahead of time for meal prep or whip them up, throw them in the oven, get ready and grab one on your way out the door. You will find this will soon become one of your go-to Keto breakfast recipes.

Ingredients

Pork breakfast sausage - you could cook a large batch of this ahead of time and then freeze it in one cup containers to pull out later and make this come together even faster. If you don't have sausage on hand or don't like it, swap it out for bacon, ham, or turkey sausage.
Veggies - these give a lot of flavor and, obviously, make these more healthy. If you don't like or have some of the veggies listed they could easily be swapped out.
Eggs
Milk - You can use any kind of milk you like, such as cow's milk or a dairy-free milk like coconut milk * or almond milk.
Additions - A few small cubes of your favorites cheese are delish in these. I'm sure shredded cheese would work as well. My favorite is cheddar cheese, but I'm sure other kinds of cheese would work well too.

Can you freeze these?

We freeze ours and then reheat in the microwave. They do let out some water when you reheat so I would suggest heating on a paper towel!

Are these portable?

They are basically little portable omelets that you can make ahead and eat when you are ready. It doesn't take very long to throw them in the toaster oven or oven for a few minutes and heat them up - or you could eat them cold like my son and since they have several different types of food, they may be all you need for breakfast.

I would love to hear if you try these and if you love them or have suggestions on how to improve them. Please comment below!
