Broccoli Cheddar Muffins [Centre for Healthy Active Kids Recipes]

A fast protein packed breakfast (or snack!) that tastes great, and will make the morning rush so much easier.

Serve these with a toasted whole wheat English muffin. Store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or the freezer for 3 to 4 months. If frozen or refrigerated, reheat in microwave for about 1 minute.

Makes 6 egg muffins

Prep Time: 5 minutes

1/4 teaspoon thyme (optional)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 cup chopped broccoli (fresh or frozen)*

1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
