AVOCADO BACON MUFFINS

These muffins are my make-aheads in the evenings when I am really really tired and want to catch on my sleep. Since they are very easy and quick to make, taste great, store and freeze well, I can spend a little time in the evening making them, let them cool, put in the fridge and simply warm in the oven the next morning. They also provide a great deal of nourishment for your body so you don't feel guilty for having muffins with your morning coffee. The only thing left to do is add some vegetables and greens to your plate and you have a wonderful delicious vitamin rich meal to start off your day.

These are excellent for breakfast, especially for those rush-out-the-door, late-for-school/work mornings! My kids also love snacking on these at a picnic on the beach.

Avocado not only provides nutrition (vitamins B5, B6, K folate, copper and many many more), but it also acts as a bonding flour/oil combo.

Eggs are rich in protein, omega-3, Vitamin D, A, E and others. And does breakfast ever feel like breakfast if you don't get to have your eggs in the morning?

Using coconut flour in baking instead of regular white or wheat flour ensures you get more fiber, protein and vitamins in your diet, and as a bonus it does not contain any gluten that can cause damaging cell inflammation.

Bon appetite!
