These healthy paleo egg muffins are based on one of my most popular recipes ever - healthy breakfast egg cups with broccoli and hash browns. They're amazing (I mean, how can cheese and hash browns not be amazing?!) but I was looking for something a little healthier this time. I've already experimented with healthy egg cups with spinach and mushrooms and healthy egg muffins with bacon and spinach. But this time I wanted to get one of my favourite breakfast foods into the mix - sausages!

I don't know about in the US, but in the UK, most sausages are stuffed with oats/breadcrumbs/other strictly non-paleo stuff. But in Spain we get really meaty sausages, loaded with pork, fats and lots of yumminess. If you're not concerned about your healthy egg muffins being paleo, you can totally take 2-3 ordinary sausage links, squeeze out the meat and break it up in the pan to make this dish.

If you are following a paleo diet (which I 100% recommend) you need to make sure your sausages don't contain any grains. Or you can keep it simple and use ground pork. That makes everything a lot easier and quicker. But it's totally your call.

These healthy paleo muffins really are easy enough to whip up on a weekday morning. The prep is so simple - there isn't even any chopping involved! But if you're enjoying a lazy weekend and want to make these muffins for a leisurely brunch, there are plenty of ways you can jazz them up.

Some incredible caramelised onion, a couple of cloves of minced garlic or a handful of sweet sun-dried tomatoes would take these healthy paleo egg muffins to the next level and make them even better!

One more thing before you go - these muffins re-heat really well. I love making a couple of trays of them at the start of the week, freezing them in ziploc bags then whacking them into the microwave for a couple of minutes to satisfy resilient hunger pangs throughout the week.
