These low-carb, nutrient-packed spinach egg muffin cups are perfect for managing gestational diabetes, offering a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast or snack option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or regular milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease the muffin tin lightly with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Chop the fresh spinach into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a mixing bowl, crack 6 large eggs and add 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or regular milk. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is slightly frothy.
  5. Stir in chopped spinach, 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix gently to combine.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes. Check at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, they’re done.
  8. Let the muffin cups cool for about 5 minutes before removing them carefully with a butter knife or small spatula.
  9. Serve warm or cool completely before storing.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for fluffier muffins. Avoid overfilling muffin cups to prevent spillover. If tops brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Muffins reheat well in microwave for 30 seconds. Can be stored in fridge up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
