What You Need For Egg White Muffin Breakfast Cups

HEALTHY EGG WHITE MUFFIN BREAKFAST CUPS RECIPE TIPS

Egg whites – Skip wasting your perfectly good eggs and use the liquid egg whites in a carton for this. You can usually find them near the milk and heavy cream.

Garlic and onions – You can substitute these with garlic and onion powder. Use about 1/2 teaspoon per 12 muffins.

Cheese – This is optional. Skip it if you want super healthy muffins. Otherwise, you can mix the cheese in with everything or use it as a topping before baking.

Mix and match veggies – You’re not limited to the veggies in the recipe so feel free to try out other combinations of veggies like shredded zucchini, mushrooms, kale and broccoli. Check out the combo suggestions below for more combinations.

Muffin pan – Use a nonstick muffin pan and grease it beforehand. If they still stick, try using cupcake liners.

Soggy muffins – Tomatoes and spinach are some culprits with plenty of water content that might add too much moisture to your muffins and make them soggy. The reason we cook the veggies down beforehand is to remove this water content by cooking it off. If you don’t mind a little moisture in your muffins however and want an easier and lazy way to do this, feel free to skip the sautéing step. If you do, please let me know how this worked out for you in the comments!

Freezer-friendly – These muffins can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. They will last in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Reheating – Reheat them in the microwave for about 45 seconds and they should be good to go. If it isn’t long enough heat in increments of 15 seconds until just right. You can also bake it at 350°F for 5 minutes.
