You may have kids that you have to look after, phone calls to make, house to clean, pets to play with.

Or maybe you do have to go to work. You wake up slightly late and you have to run out the door.

No matter what, breakfast is important.

And because it is important, these muffins are perfect, delicious, packed with flavor, easy to make, and grab and go.

Packed with amazing vegetables and of course cheese, these are no guilt muffins for you and everyone you know!

Using paper towels, place the 1/2 cup of roasted peppers between two paper towels to dry them off slightly.

Place the peppers on a cutting board and roughly chop them into small pieces.
