Whip up a batch of these Easy Spinach & Pepper Egg Muffins over the weekend for a protein packed breakfast you can take with you all week long! They’re low calorie, gluten free, Paleo and simply delicious! Gluten Free + Paleo + Low Calorie
Some weeks you just need a redux! It’s been one of those weeks where I had too much to do, was distracted by many things and technology was definitely not on my side. My computer’s still giving me issues on and off and my tax advisor advised me not to buy a new one until next year. I guess I pay her to tell me things I want to hear and not want to hear. So I’m just crossing my fingers that this one one holds on until then.
You know what else deserves a redux? Old, ugly picture recipes! They just keep coming back to haunt me like a few weeks ago when Eating Healthy magazine shared my egg muffins on Instagram and suddenly thousands of people were coming here seeing horrible pictures that look like a third grader took them. I would be lying if I said I was happy about it. In fact, it was gut wrenching.
Slowly I’ve been going through my recipe index and reshooting them. It’s a daunting task and truthfully, I feel as if I’ll never finish. Some recipes like this Easy Spinach Pepper Egg Muffins are just too good and deserved to be re-shared in a brand spanking new post!
I’ve been making egg muffins for many years than I can remember. I always struggled working a full time job being able to eat them for breakfast though because there wasn’t enough time in the morning to cook them. Apparently, I’m still struggling. HAHA!
At one point, I realized I could make them in muffin form on the weekend and have them ready to go during the week to get my protein fix! They were also an egg-cellent way for me to eat more vegetables without trying too hard.
These Easy Spinach Pepper Egg Muffins take less than 30 minutes to make on the weekend, are gluten free, low calorie and completely customizable too. A guaranteed breakfast life savior for busy mornings. They certainly saved me this week!

What I Used For The Recipe
I love egg muffins and I need to start making them regularly again for an easy snack. My kids like them too!
They’re fun!
Egg muffins are one of my favorite make-ahead healthy snacks. I want to try your recipe since I’m due for a new batch! 🙂
They’re great because you can make so many variations!
Haha I know what you mean about old photos. I’ve gone to link to older posts and realized they look awful so then I have to go back and make new graphics before people see them again!
I’ve done that too. It’s hard to do that with certain recipes so I’ve found that deleting, reshooting and re-posting is just easier.
Nothing better than egg muffins for a quick and delicious snack!
Thanks Kelli! I may put some collagen in this weekend’s batch. 😉
I would like someone else to make my recipes and just start over for me. that would be glorious!
That would rock!
Oh my gosh, I want to go back and reshoot so many recipes! I hate looking at my old stuff.
These pics are beautiful and the muffins look like the perfect healthy breakfast!
I’ve started deleting a few of them. I couldn’t stand looking at them anymore. Thanks for the sweet compliment Sarah!
I love egg muffins for an easy go-to breakfast. I just keep them in the fridge and eat them for breakfast throughout the week. My husband loves them too, which is a bonus!
That’s great you’ve been able to get the hubby on board!
I like making a version of these too! I usually use some whole eggs because I love the taste.
Nice! Yolks gross me out. That’s why I don’t use them.
These look yummy, can they be frozen?
They can, but they will be a bit soggy.
Do you use regular size muffin pans or mini-muffin pans for this recipe?
Regular size. Mini would be very small.
