These fluffy high-protein egg white muffins are a quick, nutritious, and delicious breakfast option packed with lean protein and fresh veggies. Perfect for meal prep and anyone looking for a light but satisfying start to the day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large egg whites (approx. 360 ml or 1.5 cups)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (for greasing muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Chop the spinach finely, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the green onions, and crumble the feta cheese. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
  3. Separate the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring no yolk contaminates the whites.
  4. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  5. Gently fold the spinach, tomatoes, green onions, feta, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the whipped egg whites using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until muffins are set and lightly golden on top. Test doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Notes

Whip egg whites at room temperature for best volume. Use clean, dry bowls to avoid deflating egg whites. Fold ingredients gently to keep muffins airy. Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness. Muffins can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
