GF Breakfast Veggie Muffins

These savoury veggie, cheesy muffins are packed with hidden veggies! They’re also a ONE bowl wonder. You literally chuck everything into a bowl and mix, pop into a muffin tray and bake until golden and delicious! They’re best served warm with a generous slathering of salted butter (or ghee) (or even avocado, yum!). As a bonus, they’re also gluten free, grain free, sugar free and paleo. I made a double batch of these yesterday so now we have breakfast (or brunch) (or easy lunches) sorted for the rest of the week.
