This recipe was made using veggie sausages as they’re lower in calories and saturated fat, which surely means you can have more of them – a bonus if you ask me. If you’re keeping an eye on your carb intake, these are perfect as they’re very low in carbs.
This recipe is very easily doubled, meaning you can make twice as much to keep in the fridge to grab and go if you feel the need to snack on something in between meals. A couple of muffins will satisfy that craving long enough and are high in protein, so they’ll keep you going until your next meal.
