I’m all about an easy make-ahead breakfast. This is especially true when I’m trying to eat less carbs and increase my protein. I pretty much need a meal plan to stay on track, or I’ll end up eating donuts with my kids. If I have breakfasts ready like these Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Protein Squares, then I usually make a healthier choice.

This recipe makes a total of 8 servings, and each serving comes in at only 200 calories and 20 grams of protein!!! Where did all those eggs get all that extra protein? It’s in the cottage cheese, which even the cottage cheese haters can’t tell. It’s all blended up resulting in a creamy egg.

Top that egg mixture with some great toppings like bacon pieces, green onions, and cheese, and you have yourself a delicious high protein breakfast! These are basically like my Easy Ham Egg Bites, but they are easier to make when you just pour it all into a small casserole dish.

Five Benefits of a high protein breakfast:

1. Protein helps you feel fuller longer and reduces cravings.
2. Protein aids in muscle repair and growth.
3. Since the body uses more energy to digest protein compared to fats and carbs, this gives your metabolism a boost.
4. Protein helps to stabilize your blood sugar and prevents spikes and crashes.
5. Protein helps regulate dopamine and norepinephrine, which support concentration and mental performance.

The post Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Protein Squares appeared first on Diary of A Recipe Collector.

This Easy Low Carb Quiche recipe has truly become one of my favorite breakfasts!! I make it on the weekend and divide it up for my breakfast all week. I love that it is quick, easy, and delicious too!

So we all know eating eggs for breakfast provides us with protein, but when you combine them with cottage cheese and turkey sausage, it really helps this breakfast pack a protein punch! It’s a breakfast you can feel good about eating for sure.

It comes in at about 150 calories per serving with 13 grams of protein. So it packs a lot of protein with few calories. This is always my goal for my meals and snacks throughout the day, as I try to save a little more calories for my dinner.

What ingredients do you need for this Easy Low Carb Quiche?

• low carb tortilla
• eggs
• low-fat cottage cheese
• salt and pepper
• spinach
• chopped tomatoes
• shredded mozerella cheese
• SEE THE FULL RECIPE BELOW.

What kind of dish should I use for this recipe?

Sometimes I use a 9 inch pie plate, which works fine. But if I want a little more crust from the tortilla, I will divide my recipe into two oven safe soup/souffle bowls. This allows me to get those crispier edges. It’s really all about what you prefer! I change it up all the time, and you can even change up your veggies!

If you’re looking for a delicious, nutritious breakfast that fuels your body and keeps you satisfied until lunchtime, then look no further than these Cinnamon Sugar Protein Muffins! Packed with protein, flavor, and just the right touch of sweetness, these muffins are a perfect way to start your day off right. Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or treating yourself to a cozy breakfast, these muffins will hit the spot.

Why is protein so important for breakfast?

Many of us are used to traditional carb-heavy breakfasts like cereals or pastries. While tasty, these options can leave you feeling hungry soon after eating, which might tempt you to snack before lunch. On the other hand, a breakfast that is rich in protein can help curb your hunger and stabilize your blood sugar levels, helping you stay fuller longer.

Typically, when we think of high protein breakfasts, we usually lean more towards eggs. While I love a good egg breakfast like this one, I do crave a muffin or two every now and then. Changing up my meals also helps prevent boredom from eating the same things, which in turn, helps me stay on track.

So how are the muffins considered high protein?

The secret to increasing the protein in muffins is to add high protein ingredients like cottage cheese and greek yogurt. Don’t get scared by these ingredients if you don’t typically like them! They are the wet ingredients that mix with the dry ingredients to make a perfectly delicious high protein muffin!

Studies show that consuming a high-protein breakfast like these Cinnamon Sugar Protein Muffins can increase thermogenesis (the process of calorie burning) and boost your metabolism. This makes it easier to burn fat throughout the day. I’m all about that! So what are you waiting for? Whip up a batch of these for your mornings ahead!

Cinnamon Sugar Protein Muffins

Print

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup (245 g) kamut flour *see note
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 2 large eggs
• Sugar-free syrup for dipping

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
3. In a blender, add cottage cheese, honey, almond milk, and eggs. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour mixture into dry ingredients and stir to combine.
5. Grease muffin tin and scoop mixture into 12 muffin cups. Bake for about 20 minutes or until muffins or golden brown. Let cool a few minutes before removing from pan. These can be served with sugar free syrup, and they can be individually wrapped and frozen in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Notes

I love to use Kamut flour which is an organic high protein flour. You can also use a higher protein flour such as King Arthur bread flour. If you use all purpose flour, you may need to increase amount by 1/4 cup.

I’ve told you guys before how much I love making breakfast treats!! I hope that is one memory my kiddos will always have and possibly carry on with their families. These Mini Monkey Bread Muffins are fun and easy to make and so delicious!!

Plus, we love anything with cinnamon sugar! Those are always a hit. And once you make a homemade icing and see how easy it is, you will do it all the time!!

You only need a few ingredients to make these Mini Monkey Bread Muffins:

• canned Grands homestyle biscuits
• granulated sugar
• light brown sugar
• cinnamon
• butter
• powdered sugar
• milk
• FULL RECIPE IS BELOW!

I absolutely love Saturday morning breakfasts! There is just something relaxing about starting the weekend off with a yummy breakfast I’ve been wanting to try. If we don’t have a jam-packed to-do list, you better believe I will be making a new breakfast treat! These Cinnamon Swirl Sheet Pan Pancakes just moved to the top of my list!

We loved them! They start off with a simple homemade batter that has all the good stuff like a little sugar and a little melted butter and some baking powder. To me, these are the secrets to a great pancake. Then you just mix the cinnamon sugar mixture and swirl it around. My mouth is literally watering as I type this! Time to make these sheet pan pancakes again soon!

How do you make Cinnamon Swirl Sheet Pan Pancakes?

• Combine the batter ingredients.
• Pour into a pan greased with melted butter.
• Drop cinnamon-sugar mixture dollops into batter and swirl.
• After baking, top with an easy homemade icing.
• Slice and serve!
• I use this half sheet pan! I love this set! I’ve had them forever!

Notes for this recipe:

• These would be perfect for a birthday party since you can slice them up into squares easily.
• They would also be great if you had family visiting. Throw in some bacon, and you have yourself a yummy breakfast!
• These are also great with a little syrup on top too! Why not!
• I like to use a half sheet pan for this recipe! If you use something smaller, pancakes will be thicker, and you may have to increase baking time.

Guys, I searched high and low for a protein pancake recipe that I liked. I wasn’t satisfied with any of the recipes out there I tried from either the taste or the texture. Then I remembered sour cream pancakes which are delicious and thought why not make a Greek yogurt almond flour version which would be high protein and low carb! And that’s when these Best Protein Pancakes recipe were born!

The recipe makes a batch of 10 pancakes, and ideally 2 pancakes are a serving. I put some in the fridge to eat for a few days and then I freeze the rest in sets of two.

I just love how they came out! They almost taste buttery without the butter! The greek yogurt helps them to not be dry as often times high protein recipes can be.

What ingredients are needed for these Protein Pancakes?

• almond flour
  I use Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine.
• baking powder
• vanilla protein powder
  I use Premier Protein powder.
• egg
• salt
• vanilla greek yogurt
  I use Oikos Triple Zero. This yogurt is low in carbs and really high in protein.
• almond milk
  I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk.

Y’all, this slow cooker breakfast casserole has changed our Sunday morning routine!  My kids love to go eat after we go to Mass on Sundays, but lately that is just not a good option with the state of our post-hurricane area.  Restaurants are either closed or packed with lines.  

So the option to have breakfast waiting on us when we return home from church is so appealing!  This Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole has been an excellent new tradition!

My kids like the sweet Hawaiian rolls in this recipe, but you can totally substitute regular french bread or even croissants!

Tips for making Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole:

• Do all the work the night before for this recipe.  It needs to set up in the fridge overnight.
• Use whatever kind of bread you have!  French bread and croissants work great too!
• Want breakfast ready for earlier?  Set that alarm and simply take it out of the fridge and set it in the slow cooker for 3 hours.  Head back to bed!!
• We like to set ours before church around 7:00 am, so that it is ready for us when we return home around 10:30.
