I meant for the rating to be 5 stars, not 3! Sorry about that!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Rose! 🙂
I added one additional egg, chopped bell peppers and black pepper. I used a silicone muffin pan and baked for 20 minutes. I waited for 5 minutes and removed them from the pan. We loved them and would definitely make again.
Hi Rose! Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. I appreciate you sharing your experience with this recipe. I think many will find this helpful. I’m so glad you loved it! 🙂
How much fiber is in one muffin?
Can these breakfast egg muffins be frozen?
Yes, they freeze beautifully! 🙂
Done it 😉 and we like it. Variation+; with Turkey meat instead of Bacon.
Glad you enjoyed the recipe, Henrik! 🙂
How much fiber is in one muffin?b
Hi Nancy, This recipe has very little fiber —almost all the fiber here is from the spinach.
Total batch: ≈ 4–5 g fiber (1 cup cooked spinach).
Per muffin (12): ≈ 0.3–0.4 g each.
But, I want to emphasize that I am not a nutritionist and the nutritional info here is estimated.
I made this according to the recipe, and they were a huge hit! I'm trying today with finely chopped ham and broccoli.
So happy to hear that, Joni! 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. ❤️
The final product looks delicious -
Is it possible to make these muffins without the milk, or in the alternative, are you able to recommend a dairy free substitute?
Hi Veronica! This will work with any kind of dairy-free milk: oat, almond, cashew, or "lite" unsweetened coconut milk.
Hi Julia, Love your recipes (the Christmas salad and dressing was a huge hit!) and I’m excited to try the egg muffins. My question is this: what’s the best way to reheat them if I make them the day before I serve them? Thank you and I’ll look forward to your response.
Stephanie, I would reheat the muffin in the microwave oven for 1 minute. I am sorry for the late response. Happy New Year! ❤️
I just made this. Waiting for it to come out the oven! Wish me luck. My daughter always made these for me and hasn't in a while so I hope these are just as good ☺️
Pam, I hope the muffins came out well! 🙂

I'd like to know the answer to that too. I'm thinking that it would certainly be ok to freeze them in a quart size baggy or something similar.
Monty, yes, you can definitely freeze these muffins!
Hi just wondering is one portion (173cal) for 1 muffin or 2? Thank you
Jess, the calorie count is for 1 muffin. 🙂
