Healthy McMuffin Copy Cat


  Healthy McMuffin??? WHAT? Yes, yes I went there. Here is a quick, healthy, yummy, version of the McMuffin. How is that even possible? It is all possible because of The Yummy life. Well, they may have created an addict... I know what I'm eating every breakfast until I die... THANKS A LOT! 
  • 100% whole wheat English muffins
  •  whole eggs -- you can use Egg Beaters or all egg whites, if you prefer
  • sliced cheese -- I used regular cheddar cheese that comes in ultra-thin slices, only 45 calories per slice; you can also use reduced-fat cheese, but it doesn't melt as well. McDonalds uses American cheese, if you're looking for a more authentic taste.
  • Canadian bacon slices
  • Cooked turkey sausage patties -- you can purchase reduced fat or turkey sausage, but it's surprisingly easy to make your own. Here's my recipe
Rachael Ray's muffin pans are amazing! If you are needing to replace old rusty muffin pans, Rachael Ray's link is below.
