Colorful Dairy Free Egg Muffin Bites

Colorful Egg Muffin Bites

My healthy cooks, today I’m bringing you another recipe to fill your brunch table with goodness — my egg muffin bites! This one became an instant hit at Charley St, too. Should we add it to the menu? You can be the judge after you make these! Remember, these egg muffin bites are completely customizable, so if there is a particular veggie you have sitting in your fridge ready to be used up, now is your chance!

What makes these egg muffin bites healthy?

This is a great savory option that packs a punch of protein, good fats, B-vitamins, and minerals too! You will be getting about 12-18 grams of protein in each bite thanks to the eggs, and if you wanted to make these with egg whites that would work well too.

This one is also all about colour as always. We’re adding in plenty of extra goodness with our mushrooms, eggplant, and caramelized onion, which are adding their own dose of nutrients including vitamin B, A, and K! These are great for energy, keeping blood pressure regulated, brain function, and immunity thanks to those antioxidants!

The color code for this recipe is YELLOW! Yellow foods are often packed with healthy fats, antioxidants, flavonoids, and nutrients to help our bones, skin and eyes.
