Notes

Tip: Feel free to customize these muffins by adding your favorite vegetables or cheese varieties!

For added flavor, consider mixing in some crumbled feta cheese or sun-dried tomatoes. If you don’t have fresh herbs on hand, dried herbs can be used as well, though fresh is recommended for the best flavor. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to three months. To reheat, simply place them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
