Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (for egg muffins)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach
  • 4 English muffins
  • 8 slices of turkey bacon
  • 2 cups oats
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1 avocado, mashed
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare a muffin tin by lining each cup with paper liners.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and add in the shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, and chopped spinach. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups until about 2/3 full.

  4. 4

    Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until set and golden brown.

  5. 5

    While the egg muffins are baking, cook the turkey bacon according to package instructions. Set aside once done.

  6. 6

    In another bowl, mix oats, honey, vanilla extract, and milk until a thick batter forms. Add sliced banana and fold in gently.

  7. 7

    Divide the oat mixture evenly into four microwave-safe containers or ramekins. Place lids on if available and store in the fridge for up to five days.

  8. 8

    For avocado toast, slice whole wheat bread into four pieces and lightly toast them in an oven or toaster until golden brown.

  9. 9

    Spread mashed avocado over each piece of toast. Top with sliced tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil or balsamic glaze if desired.

  10. 10

    Assemble the breakfasts by placing one egg muffin, two slices of bacon, and a portion of oatmeal in containers for each serving. Include an avocado toast on the side.

Why This Recipe is Awesome

  • No More Mornings of Worry: With your breakfasts already prepared, you can focus on that morning coffee while ensuring there’s something healthy ready to eat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not Preparing Enough Containers: Ensure you have enough containers for each day's portion. Overpacking or underestimating the space needed will lead to chaos.
  • Overmixing Ingredients: Especially with egg muffins, overmixing can make them tough and less fluffy. Mix until just combined.
  • Skipping the Microwave-Proof Container Step: Remember that your oatmeal needs containers that are microwave-safe for easy reheating in the mornings.

Alternatives & Substitutions

No eggs? Substitute with tofu or a plant-based egg alternative to keep it vegan-friendly. The texture might be slightly different but still delicious!

Not into oats? Swap the oatmeal for chia pudding by mixing chia seeds and milk, then adding your favorite toppings like fruit or nuts.

Want something warmer than avocado toast? Prepare a batch of breakfast sandwiches using turkey bacon and egg muffins. Just heat them up in the morning with some cheese!

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can I freeze this meal prep? Absolutely! You can freeze both the egg muffins and oatmeal portions for up to three months. Thaw overnight or reheat directly from frozen.

How do I keep the avocado toast fresh? Avocado can brown quickly, so assemble the day before you plan on eating it, or use a squeeze of lemon juice over the top to help prevent browning.

What if I don’t have time for five days? No problem! Just prepare what fits into your schedule and freeze the rest for another week. It’s all about convenience!
