If you’re looking for a hearty and healthy on-the-go breakfast idea that packs a pretty good protein punch and tastes yummy, try these high protein breakfast muffins.
These Protein Breakfast Muffins are SO yummy!
We LOVE muffins at our house and I was excited to try something new with these high protein breakfast muffins! They reminded me a little bit of the McDonald’s McGriddles — a bit sweet and a bit savory. Yum!
These protein-packed muffins are a great way to start the day (or a great mid-morning snack that will keep you going until lunch).
Silas and Jesse liked them warmed with butter, and I thought they were yummy with butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
They are best warm, right out of the oven, but you can warm up leftovers muffins the next day (and they will freeze well too!).
Ingredients for Protein Breakfast Muffins
- 1 cup Kodiak protein pancake mix
- 1/3 cup shredded cheese (I used mozzarella because that’s what I had on hand. I think cheddar would be especially delicious!)
- 9.6-oz. bag fully cooked Jimmy Dean turkey sausage
- 6 pieces of bacon, cooked and chopped (can also used 1/3 cup bacon bits)
- 3/4 cup milk (whole, 2%, or FairLife)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
How to Make Protein Breakfast Muffins
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Grease 12 muffin tins (or line with muffin liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray).
3. In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, cheese, sausage, bacon, milk, and maple syrup. Stir until well mixed.
4. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin tins.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
6. Let cool for a few minutes, then remove from the tin and serve warm with extra maple syrup if desired.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an air-tight food storage container for 3-4 days (or freeze for longer).

Does budgeting feel overwhelming? Get my brand new One-Hour Budget program for just $19 right now!
Does budgeting feel overwhelming? Get my brand new One-Hour Budget program for just $19 right now!
If you’ve been wanting to set up a budget, but you’re just not sure where to start or feel overwhelmed by it all…I created a product just for you!
Are you tired of feeling stressed about your finances? Do you wish there was a simple, effective way to take control of your money without spending endless hours on budgeting?
When my husband was in law school, we lived on a very tight budget, and every dime mattered. It was in those years of when our budget was so lean that we learned the power of budgeting. It allowed us to manage our tiny amount of money in a way that gave us freedom, not frustration.
We’ve continued to reap the benefits of budgeting in the many years that followed. I look back and know without a shadow of a doubt that we wouldn’t be where we are today financially — with a lot of breathing room, no debt at all, the ability to invest in the future (retirement, real estate, money market accounts and mutual funds), and to give generously — if it weren’t for a budget. A budget doesn’t bring bondage and make you feel miserable; a budget gives you the ability to be much more proactive and make your money work so much more effectively for you.
And after years of y’all begging me to create a product sharing more about how to set up and stick with a budget, I finally did it! My brand new program The One-Hour Budget is a step-by-step system that walks you through exactly how to set up a budget that actually works for YOU — in just 60 minutes!
It’s super simple. Super straightforward. No more stressing over numbers. No more feeling like you’re constantly failing at money.
And the best part? It takes just ONE hour. For real!

Homemade Oh Henry Bars Recipe (Gluten-Free!)
This classic, retro Oh Henry Bars recipe couldn’t be simpler! It’s SUCH a crowd pleaser and is super easy to whip up last-minute! With a mix of oats, chocolate, and peanut butter, these taste just like the original Oh Henry Candy Bars. (See more easy dessert recipes here!)
Recipe from Brigette on our team.
These Oh Henry Bars are SO simple to make!
These Oh Henry Bars are my go-to recipe when we remember practically last-minute that we are supposed to bring snacks for a get-together (which happens far more often than I’d like to admit!).
If you’re looking for a simple dessert recipe that comes together in no time at all, and uses basic ingredients you probably already have on hand, this is the recipe for you!
Just like the classic Oh Henry Candy Bar, this dessert is SO delicious with a buttery, chewy base of brown sugar and oats…and then topped with melted chocolate and peanut butter. (Does it get any better???)
These yummy bars freeze well and are gluten-free as long as you use the right kind of oats.
One pan serves a crowd, which makes this a frugal recipe in my book!
Ingredients for Oh Henry Candy Bars
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup corn syrup (substitute honey or maple syrup if you prefer)
- 4 cups quick oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
How to Make Oh Henry Chocolate Bars
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. In a large bowl, mix together brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, and quick oats.
3. Press mixture firmly into a buttered 9×13 pan.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix melted chocolate chips and peanut butter together in 30-second intervals (stirring between each interval) until fully melted.
5. Spread chocolate mixture on top of oat mixture.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
7. Cool completely before cutting into bars (Once they are almost cool, I often stick them in the fridge for an hour or so to help them firm up faster).
8. Enjoy immediately or freeze for later.
Refrigerate leftovers.
