Savory Breakfast Muffins

Who doesn’t love a good muffin? We certainly do. You can’t go wrong with a classic sweet muffin but sometimes you’re just not in the mood for sweet in the morning. That’s where savory muffins come in! These high-protein muffins just might be your new go-to. They’re made with buckwheat flour, eggs and Greek yogurt to keep you full until lunch and can be topped with whatever you want (like a good lather of butter). Better yet, they store well in the fridge for easy breakfasts (or snacks) all week long.
