Apricot Spinach Breakfast Meatballs

Warning: These are so good you won’t want to share!

I love these breakfast meatballs! They are my favorite grab and go breakfast. I make a batch almost every week to have on hand for when I’m in a pinch and don’t have time to eat at home. And they aren’t just for breakfast . I eat these as a post workout snack and have even made them for dinner.  I got the inspiration for this recipe from one of my favorite blog sites, The Real Food Dietitians and their Apricot-Basil Meatballs.  I just switched out the ground pork for breakfast sausage and cut the recipe down to just four ingredients.

*Note: If you are not a fan of apricots or are having trouble finding apricots without added sulfites, you can switch them out with dried unsweetened cranberries or cranberries sweetened with apple juice.
