TIP-make in a square and cut into squares to freeze

If mornings are rushed, egg muffins are one of the simplest ways to stay nourished without cooking every day. A short prep session gives you several grab-and-go breakfasts that support energy, focus, and fullness.

🌿 Why Seasonings Matter (More Than Just Flavour)

Adding seasoning blends to egg muffins doesn’t just make them taste better — it can also provide real health benefits:

• Many herbs and spices (like turmeric, garlic, paprika, cumin, and herbs) contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds

• Spices can enhance flavor without relying on excess salt

• Strong flavor increases meal satisfaction, making it easier to stick to balanced eating habits
