These muffins are delicious served warm, but they're also great for meal prep. Simply make a batch on the weekend and store them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. Then, just grab one (or two!) on your way out the door in the morning. They're great on their own, but you can also top them with a little peanut butter or almond butter for an extra protein boost. So next time you're in need of a quick and healthy breakfast option, give these breakfast muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
