Recipe: Mini Egg Muffins [paleo]

It is true, breakfast IS the most important meal of the day.

A recent study found that people who ate two eggs for breakfast reduced their waist circumference by 83% more than people who didn't have protein for breakfast (Pennington Biomedical Research Center).

Many people are short on time in the morning, so here is a recipe that can be made ahead of time and ate throughout the week. 

Great for kids and adults, Mini Egg Muffins can be made a variety of ways depending on your preferences.
