Ham and Cheese Muffins

Pin

I have a hard time describing the anxiety and frustration I feel in the morning when I have a million things to do but still need to feed the kids something substantial and relatively healthy. Muffins have become the breakfast mainstay of our freezer lately. With a family full of busy schedules and little time in the mornings for a leisurely breakfast, I’ve resorted to pre-preparing an arsenal of foods that are easy to pull out and reheat for times like these.

Ham and Cheese Muffins are not only delicious and perfect for little hands to hold, they’re a great way for kids to get protein and carbohydrates all in one, along with fiber from the whole wheat flour.

Make a batch of these muffins on a Sunday afternoon, freeze them and you’ll be so relieved every morning you have to race out the door but need to feed the kids first. You may even find yourself heating up one or two extra for yourself!
