Easy Breakfast Savory Muffins

These breakfast savory muffins loaded with ham and cheese will become your instant favorite from the first bite.

Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or the lunchbox, these Savory Muffins certainly will hit the spot. These are light, fluffy, and super-easy to make.

The best part, they are a great make-ahead recipe and so easy-to-adapt.

It takes just minutes to make the muffin batter without any special equipment. Then you simply spoon the batter into a muffin tray – with or without cases – and bake for 20 minutes. Easy, fun, and tasty!

These muffins are best eaten hot from the oven. However, if you want to have them a couple of days later give each a quick 15-20 seconds in the microwave they’ll be good as fresh.

Feel free to play around with adding any other ingredients you might fancy. The combinations are really endless!

Here’s a few delicious options:

• finely diced red pepper
• garlic powder
• cooked corn kernels
• crispy bacon bits
• breakfast sausage
• chopped vegetable mix
• cottage cheese
• feta cheese
• sundried tomatoes

They’re also great served with a fresh salad in the warmer months or a bowl of soup or stew in the cooler months.

These easy muffins can be kept in the deep freezer for up to 2 months or in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Are these savory muffins gluten-free?

This recipe is not gluten-free due to the flour, but you could easily replace the wheat flour with gluten-free self-raising flour in the same quantity or use plain gluten-free flour, plus 2.5 tsp of gluten-free baking powder to make your own.

Ingredients for Breakfast Muffins

• All-purpose flour – for gluten-free use all-purpose gluten-free flour.
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Buttermilk -if you want you can replace buttermilk with Greek yogurt.
• Vegetable oil
• Diced ham – small diced ham works best.
• Cheddar cheese – any diced or shredded cheese will work but our top pick is sharp cheddar for its richness. Stronger cheeses will add more flavor.
• Fresh herbs – I like to add parsley but use what you have on hand or what’s growing in your garden. No fresh herbs on hand, a few shakes (1-2 tsp.) of dried herbs will work, too! You can also add some chopped spinach if you like.
