Breakfast Muffins

We had a minor crisis this morning as the boys were headed out the door to the bus stop....

The bus is two stops away and Isaiah says, I'm still hungry.

Noooooooooooooo!! 
I will NOT send my child to school hungry...

He shoveled in some eggs off a plate I just set on the counter, knowing SOMEONE would eat. 

And off to school he went.

It made me sad to think he didn't get enough to eat. 
He IS a growing boy, I realize, but golly, I guess I need to change up our breakfast routine. 

I racked my brain for what I could make in the mornings so he would be more filled.
I do eggs and oatmeal for the boys, but some days, they ask for cereal.

>> Note: Cereal is NOT a filler.

I then thought I needed to make muffins, and the boys could have their usual breakfast, but grab a muffin or two if they weren't quite filled. I could make more than enough and freeze some.

I found a recipe online, and tweaked it a bit to suit my needs. I was aiming for PROTEIN filled ones so they would keep the boys fuller longer. 
Shakeology is my go-to protein powder--plus it has all the extra healthy goodness, so it was a double win!

Here's what I came up with--and the crushed almonds on top were Isaiah's brilliant idea.#moreprotein

Plus, I'm always a fan of a little "crunch"!!
