Healthy Green Egg Muffins Recipe
Ingredients:
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup egg whites
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups broccoli, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 stainless steal muffin pan: for mini muffins or regular size
Tip: If you don’t have broccoli or spinach at home, you can use other veggies like shredded carrots, onion, cauliflower, green beans or any other veggies you love.
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prep 12 muffins tins with non-stick spray, oil, or silicone muffin cups.
Finely chop your broccoli and spinach and set aside.
Measure the egg whites into a large bowl and then crack your 5 eggs into the bowl. Whisk well. Add the seasonings, nutritional yeast, and baking powder to your eggs and mix well.
Stir in the almond milk.
Add the broccoli and spinach to the bowl and whisk until all of the vegetables are coated with the egg mixture.
Portion the batter into your muffin tins, Make sure that you get an even ratio of veggies and eggs in each cup. You don’t want all your veggies concentrated in just a few muffins!
Place your muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. The muffins will look like they are puffing up pretty large but they do deflate, so don’t worry. After 12 minutes rotate the pan and bake for another 14-15 minutes until they are cooked through.
Broil the muffins for 2 minutes and then remove the pan from the oven.
Once you have perfected this recipe, you can experiment with adding in different spices and vegetables. It’s super versatile.
