💭 Spinach Egg Muffin FAQs
Yes! Chop it up if needed and add it frozen. It may add a little moisture, so extend the bake time slightly.
Try fresh basil, parsley, or thyme for a subtle lift, or go bold with a bit of dill or oregano—especially tasty when paired with a little garlic.
For mini muffins, reduce the bake time to 12–15 minutes. For jumbo muffins, increase to 28–30 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
Stick to about 1 cup of veggies per 6 eggs. Too much moisture (especially from spinach or zucchini) can make muffins soggy, so drain or sauté extra-wet veggies first.
Yes! Blend and store the mixture in the fridge overnight. Give it a quick stir before pouring into the muffin tin the next day.
