Notes
- These egg cups have a fluffy, airy consistency due to the baking powder. For a firmer texture, replace the baking powder with ¼ cup of all-purpose flour. You can also use coconut flour for a keto-friendly recipe or cornstarch for a gluten-free option.
- Store the egg bites in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.This recipes makes 12 egg bites in a standard size muffin tin. You can also use a mini muffin pan for smaller portions but will need to adjust the cooking time downwards.
- Cheese is always a great addition to egg bites! Try adding ½ cup of shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or monterey jack cheese for a fun variation.
- You can swap in most veggies for a variety of flavors. Try using shredded broccoli or cauliflower in place of the zucchini!
- This makes a great make-ahead breakfast for meal prep.
