17 Paleo Breakfast Muffins That Are Really Good for You

When you’re rushing around in the morning getting ready to start your day, it’s tempting to grab a quick breakfast like a bagel or toaster pastry.

Here’s the thing: you’ll be hungry again before lunch.

What’s a good breakfast option when you’re short on time but want something nutritious (aside from this breakfast bowl and this chia seed pudding)?

Paleo muffins!

They’re high in protein, healthy fats, and fiber, making perfect grab-and-go healthy breakfast recipes for hectic, rushed mornings.

Easy, nutritious, and fast, paleo muffins have everything you need to feel like you’re starting your day off right.

Whether you’re paleo, vegan, or somewhere in-between, protein should be a hallmark of your breakfast, no exceptions.

Protein provides fuel for the body, and eating a high-protein muffin for breakfast will keep you going for hours.

You can sneak protein into your muffins with savory egg and meat options, or you can make sweet options with nut butter and protein powder.

Paleo muffins can be stored in the fridge or freezer and heated up or served cold.

We’ve made it easy to incorporate a healthy breakfast into your everyday routine with this roundup of 17 incredible paleo breakfast muffin recipes.
