Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 clove garlic, grated or minced
  • 2 tbsp grated onion
  • 2 tbsp grated carrot
  • 2/3 cup baby spinach OR 1/2 cup broccoli, finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners and spray with oil, or use a silicone mini muffin pan (which I used here and love!).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs.
  3. Add quinoa, grated garlic, onion and carrot, chopped spinach or broccoli, and 2 tbsp of the cheese. Stir to combine.
  4.  Use a 1-tbsp scoop to scoop into prepared muffin pan. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tbsp cheese.
  5. Bake 12-15 minutes or until fully set.
  6. Allow muffins to cool before removing from the pan and storing.

Notes

  • For dairy-free, omit cheese.
  • Feel free to add any spices or seasonings, or play with different vegetable variations. Make sure veggies are grated or very finely chopped.
  • You can also bake these in a regular sized muffin tin. Increase the bake time to 20 minutes.
  • If you're using broccoli, both fresh and frozen work. Thaw frozen broccoli before chopping and adding to the muffins.
