Notes
⭐️The number of servings depends on the size of your muffin tin and the bulk of you veggies. The more veggies you use the more muffins you will be able to make. I was able to make around 6 muffins.
⭐️ Use any veggie you have available. In total, they will combine to be between 1-1.5 cups after cooked. In my recipe I used ½ cup diced onion, ¼ cup chopped sundried tomatoes, and a heaping cup of spinach- you can add more than this if you want more veggie heavy muffins, but don't do too much or else your muffins won't stick together.
Some other ideas: diced red pepper, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, kale, asparagus pieces, fresh basil, and more.
Calorie count disclaimer: This was calculated using mixed vegetables so the calories can vary greatly what you choose to put into your vegan egg muffin.
