A delicious and filling breakfast designed to get kids excited about eggs. These egg muffins are also perfect for low carb, paleo and Whole30 diets.

If you follow me on Instagramyou will know I’m am a little egg obsessed at the moment!

A lot of my breakfasts involve eggs in some shape or form like these .

What makes eggs so great?

Eggs are one ingredient that I always have to hand at home.

Aside from being delicious, they are inexpensive, versatile and an excellent source of protein and fat soluble vitamins.

Even if you don’t like the taste of egg, chances are you still use them in cooking or baking, making them an essential purchase in most households.

Egg Recipes

There are so many ways that you can combine eggs with just a handful of simple ingredients to make some really tasty but easy meals.

If you have younger children this Baby French Toast (or Eggy Banana Bread) is a great way to get little ones eating eggs. Suitable for weaning babies and toddlers too!

Despite my kids being well past the weaning stage, they still love this recipe to this day.

If your kids are ok with eating eggs on their own, then you could try these with a dippy egg on the side for a real protein-packed breakfast.

Eggs aren’t just for breakfast either. These Dippy Eggs With Avocado Grilled Cheese Toasties make a tasty and quick lunch or dinner for hungry kids!

Quality Eggs!

Since having children I have become a lot more aware of not only the type of food that we eat, but the quality too. For me, cage-free eggs are an absolute must as I firmly believe that happy hens = good quality eggs.

Easy Egg Muffins

One of my favourite egg recipes has to be Egg Muffins.

Unfortunately my little fussy eater doesn’t share my enthusiasm for eggs so I’ve been trying out different versions of these muffins in the hope of enticing her to give them a go.

So far these Spinach & Bacon Egg Muffins have had the most success!

Back to the muffins and here’s my recipe for my Spinach & Bacon Egg Muffins!

Ingredients For Egg Muffins

I’ve used the following ingredients:

• 6 whole eggs
• bacon
• fresh spinach
• oregano
• cherry tomatoes
• bell peppers

See the recipe card below for full step-by-step instructions and ingredient amounts.

If you don’t like peppers or tomatoes then you can always swap out the veggies for your favourite vegetables.

Then add whatever toppings you like to finish them off.

You could even add a bit of grated cheese for extra taste. Yum!

Have a play around with different fillings to see what your little one likes. Combining different veg with the eggs in the muffins, can also be a great way to get them trying new flavors.

Rather than mixing all the ingredients up into the egg mixture I thought that creating layers of bacon and spinach might make them more appealing, as the layers are revealed once you cut in.

Storage Instructions

This is a great recipe to make in big batches as part of your weekly meal prep.

It’s the perfect way of making sure you’ve got some of these healthy breakfast egg muffins on hand for those busy mornings when time is not on your side!

They would also work well as a grab and go breakfast for teens if they are rushing out the door not having eaten!

The muffins will keep for a couple of days in an airtight container in the fridge. You can either eat them cold / room temperature or reheat them in the oven / microwave to warm them through.
