    Helpful Tips For Making Muffin Tin Egg Bites 

    muffin tin full of muffin tin egg bites

    Baking Powder 

    The baking powder helps to give these egg bites a nice and fluffy consistency. If you want to leave the baking powder out, go right ahead. 

    Firmer Egg Bites 

    To give yourself firmer egg bites, swap the baking powder with ¼ cup flour. You can use a keto-friendly flour if you want to make your bites gluten-free! 

    Grease Tins Well 

    These egg bites will stick if you do not grease your muffin tin well enough, so make sure to give them a good spray. You can even buy avocado oil to spritz in the tin if you prefer. 

    Variations to Muffin Tin Egg Bites

    Mini Muffin Bites

    Instead of a full size muffin tin, you can use a mini muffin tin if you want. Just cook your bites for less time, but still fill the tins ⅔rds full!

    Vegetables Added 

    I used tomatoes, spinach, and zucchini in my muffin bites. But you can swap them with red peppers, mushrooms, and other veggies if you want. 

    Cheesy Egg Bites 

    Top your egg bites with shredded cheese of your choice for a nice cheesy egg bite. Or you can mix ½ cup cheese into the mixture if you don't want to top the eggs.

    Can I double this recipe? 

    Go right ahead and double this recipe if you want. Just grab an extra muffin tin to mix and bake up your extra batch of bites at the same time. 

    How do you store egg bites? 

    You can store your egg bites in an airtight container for 3–4 days in the fridge. The texture will be slightly different once they are cooled and reheated, but the bites will still taste the same. 

    Do these egg bites freeze well? 

    You can freeze any egg bites you don't eat right away. I like to store them in single serve bags, then place in a large freezer bag. That way I have single serve egg bites I can pull out and warm up in the microwave!

    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.
