During pregnancy, it's important to make sure I'm getting enough protein for the growing baby. In Bradley class, they say pregnant woman should eat two eggs per day because they are chocked full of nutrients and protein. (This can be difficult to manage when the thought of scrambled eggs turns your stomach.) Anyway, I've been making these muffins for awhile and they are sooo delicious and healthy and easy and they keep me full! Plus, my toddler LOVES them and it's easy to hide lots of diced veggies in them to make them even healthier. You really can't go wrong with this recipe. They make a great quick breakfast and/or snack on the go.

I bet spinach would be good with this too! Great idea! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI've made these with spinach and feta cheese --- so delish! Then again, (in my opinion) feta makes everything savory taste better ; ) Just don't forget to squeeze as much water out of the spinach as you can, or they will be sopping wet egg muffins, oh and don't forget a pinch of nutmeg.
DeleteThese look great! I need to see if my kids will eat them. The girl refuses to eat eggs, but she may eat them if they look like a muffin! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI bet she will like them! The texture and taste is different than regular eggs. They are much better in my opinion. Good luck!
