Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners, adding extra grease to the bottoms of the cups.

  2. Cook chicken broth and quinoa together in a rice cooker or bring to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. Mix quinoa, spinach, Colby-Jack cheese, eggs, bacon bits, onion powder, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and white pepper together in a bowl, spoon into the prepared muffin cups.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

Recipe Note

These savory, gluten-free muffins are easy to make, and a great breakfast to eat on-the-go. I use as much organic and/or local ingredients as possible in all my recipes. I cook these ahead of time, wrap them separately in waxed paper, then freeze them to heat later for quick, high-protein breakfasts.
