You’ll create fluffy, flavorful muffins with three unique flavor profiles that are perfect for any time of day. Let’s get started and impress your taste buds with these easy-to-make breakfast delights just like my healthy banana oat muffins recipe.

- Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
*Note: Make sure to grease your muffin tin properly and use a good-quality non-stick muffin tray. If you’re unsure, use parchment paper or cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Add the egg mixture halfway up into each tin of the greased muffin tin.
- Add Toppings: Divide the three topping combinations into four muffin cups each.
*Note: The muffins will puff up as they bake, so be sure to fill the tins only three-quarters full to prevent overflow.
- Bake Muffins: Bake for 15-20 minutes until set.
- Serve or Store: Let cool slightly, then serve.
*Note: Allow your muffins to cool for about 10 minutes before removing them. If needed, run a plastic knife or spatula around the inside walls of the muffin holes to help loosen them.

I make these with a variety of vegetables (kale, spinach, onions, colorful bell peppers, etc… husband nicknamed them “egg-buckets”) but line the bottom of the muffin pan with deli ham (after spraying the pan with pam of course). The ham crisps up amazingly and is crispy along the edges. It tastes awesome! My son (now 9) LOVES these for breakfast or even a healthy snack! He’s been eating them since he was 6 and gets super excited when I tell him I’m making them. My 6 yr old daughter is another story Unfortunately… I think it’s a texture thing :(. But definitely try the ham liner on the bottom of the muffin pan! I also typically cook mine at 350 for 20 mins.
These are Awesome. They are great for Keto diets and Diabetics. My roomie loves them and I make them every week. There is so many variations that you can do.
Maybe at the beginning f the article write to read the article ! Everyone asks about freezing and it is right there. Also one lady tells how to get rid of bubbles so they don’t fall when cooling. Great hints for other taste here too.
I wish I had found this recipe long ago. I have been missing out on these delectable treats! These are delicious!
They may not be the most “beautiful” lol (After reading the comments I expected them to sink) but they are delicious healthy and so convenient as a make-ahead breakfast. I made them all with diced ham and cheese. And I did add some milk (I eyeballed it..maybe 1/3 cup or so) so it did take about 25 mins in the oven however they stayed nice and moist. Thank you!
These are just yummy! Plan to take them camping so I don’t have access to a microwave, what’s the best way to reheat these yummy breakfast treats?j
I made these and cooked a little over 2 minutes longer and they were too done.
I will cook 17-18 next time.
I also changed up the cherry tomatoes to Rotelle with Serrano peppers; you can do about anything to be creative; I would like to know what kind of muffin tin you used.
thank you,
Mini muffin tins
Hi. Just made these. They look delicious, haven’t tasted. Used broccoli, onion, garlic, bacon, tomato & shredded cheese.
Hello! I tried this but they all turned out dry and not beautifully round shaped 🙁 I baked at 180 Celcius for 20 minutes, what could be wrong? Should i just turn the oven to bottom heat instead of top n bottom heat? Thanks!
It works better if you bake at a low heat for a longer period of time. I bake at 250 for 40-45 minutes using a silicone cup cake pan. I sit the pan in a shallow water bath when baking. Similar to sous vide method.
Great suggestion Tina. I put them in individual silicone cups and on a baking tray with water. 275 for 40 minutes. Perfect!
First attempt at these they were so easy to make
Did bacon, Parmesan amazing
And also did bacon, capsicum, mushroom little bit of onion powder oh my they were delicious
