Gluten free Breakfast muffins

It’s great with just mushrooms and bacon, or with roasted vegetables and cheese. The muffins are best eaten while they are still warm - but they will they will keep for up to two days in an airtight container. They can be frozen easily, and can then be reheated to serve.
