This is a modified version of a recipe for Macro Muffins that I tried for my breakfast meal prep from ketoconnect.
Their original version was sweet and called for using a flavored protein powder. I figured I could make it savory by using plain unflavored protein powder with some some spices, and turn it into a breakfast experience by adding bacon, cheese, and green onions.
If you’d like to try the original recipe, head on over to Keto Connect. The recipe for my savory version can be found below.
