Ham, Spinach & Cauliflower Rice Breakfast Muffins
I am always on the hunt for creative breakfast recipes that can be made a few days in advance and eaten on the go. Muffin tin frittatas are a great option but I have to confess that I am really not a fan of their eggy texture, especially when you can’t mask it with lots of cheese.


These Cauliflower Rice Breakfast Muffins are a cross between a mini frittata and a muffin thanks to the addition of riced cauliflower. The cauliflower helps to give these a light and airy texture, which I really enjoy, especially when compared to the density of a frittata.

Ham, Spinach & Cauliflower Rice Breakfast Muffins
I packed the Cauliflower Rice Breakfast muffins with ham and spinach, but they could easily be made vegetarian by swapping the ham for sautéed mushrooms or butternut squash.

One or two of these muffins make for a great protein rich breakfast on the go. I also like making these in mini muffin tins for bite sized snacks I can enjoy throughout the day. They are delicious eaten warm or cold, on their own, or dipped in ketchup. These Cauliflower Rice Breakfast Muffins will last about 5 days in the fridge, so make a batch on Sunday and you are set for the week.
