EGG MUFFIN RECIPE
(makes 12 muffins)
Ingredients:
8 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 cup green onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup ground oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup bacon, finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
NUTRITIONAL INFO (per muffin):
103 calories, fat 5.3g, carb 5.2g, protein 8.6g
Preparation:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, adding salt and freshly ground black pepper. Beat the eggs well, to get lots of air into the mixture.
Next, add the cottage cheese and mix to combine.
Stir the oats and baking powder into the mixture.
This step is optional, if you want your egg muffins to puff up a bit more, feel free to skip if you're trying to eat less carbs.
Add the bell pepper, green onions and bacon, and give it a final mix.
Grease your muffin tin with butter, to prevent sticking. This is not necessary if using silicone muffin molds.
Pour the egg mixture into the muffin holes.
Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, or until egg muffins are cooked through and start to brown.
Let it cool a bit, and they're ready to serve.
Enjoy!

Is there somewhere we can find the recipes written? Time constraints make it hard to watch and record recipes.
I make these almost every week, just with a different mix of veggies (I skip the bacon), but always with a couple cloves of fresh garlic. I just wanted to say that I decided to make them in two square pans today (lined with greased foil is a must), and I dropped the baking powder to half a teaspoon. Sooooo good! I love the creamy texture! You can't lose with this recipe. I cooked two stalks of celery and finely chopped some radishes from the garden this time with a jalapeno, parsley, and chopped spinach and kale. Stupid good! Love this and so many of your recipes!
Wow, what a brilliant idea of making it in your square pans, for how long you baked these to have it still creamy? Tell me about the garlic, do you previously fry it up a bit? There's a lot of room to play with this recipe, that's for sure.
@@HowToCookSmarter Yes, I sauteed all of the vegetables to cook the bitterness out of the radish and cut the crunch on all of the veggies. I didn't actually time the baking because I was doing something else at the same time. I just checked for the center to be set. I'll guess maybe half hour under convection. Yes, it was still very creamy. Thanks again for your recipe. My whole family loves it! It's so versatile!
@@kcl060 It's great to hear the whole family did enjoy it. I decided to skip the saute part with peppers and green onions, to make it even more simple, but for some veggies it's just needed to be done.
🤔 spinach feta cheese and cherry tomatoes with olives
Tasty and healthy breakfast. Nice.
Hi, thanks for watching!
These are perfect for me to eat on my way to work while I'm driving!!! Thanks for the great idea
Hi Isabella, you definitely wouldn't have a problem enjoying these while holding the wheel! Thanks for checking it out!
These tasted amaaazing...please do more high protein recipes :)
My husband and I make these every single week. Absolutely amazing, like mini quiche which I adore so much but avoid it because are not so healthy. The best recipe!!
Hi there! Thanks so much for your awesome feedback! So glad you like these egg muffins guys, I agree these are such a great healthy option, and what I love the most about this recipe is that you can use any veggies you have on hand. Cheers guys!
100% TRUE!
you are right, i will make it as well!!
Just found your channel, and I love the recipes!
I'd also love it if you'd include metric measurements in the description, that would make it alot easier for me to try these recipes out! Thanks for the content, it's great!
I agree with you, great channel!
Looks nice, but no mention at all of what temperature the muffins bake at... 350?🤔
Oh this seems like a fun little twist on the egg muffins I usually make. Friends?
Hi, thanks for checking in, yeah I was trying to make these more like a muffin, to lift them up and still have the healthy breafkast. Like the premise of your channel!
We are vegetarians and I just made your wonderful muffins using finely chopped red onion, chestnut mushrooms, yellow pepper, cooked new potatoes and fresh parsley. They were fantastic and are now our new favourite breakfast. We don't normally like cottage cheese but you were absolutely correct in saying that you wouldn't notice it. Many thanks indeed, Sasha.
Looks so tasty!new friends here hello from the Philippines,it's nice to meet you💖
Thanks guys, I appreciate you watched and commented! It's so cute seeing you two filming food vidoes together!
what temperature for the oven
This recipe was very tasty, but I subbed yogurt for cottage cheese because that's what I had, and, just so others know, the substitution makes the muffins way too light to include leavening. If I make these again, I'd skip leavening if I don't have cottage cheese, and I'd likely up the oats to a 1/3c too. They also stuck to my muffin cups terribly with my substitution, so I'm glad I used muffin tin liners.
I used no meat, but a little chopped jalapeno, a couple chopped radishes, a couple handfuls of chopped baby kale and spinach, a chopped stalk of celery, and the green onions, plus some garlic powder, no cheddar since I forgot. I would saute the crunchy vegetables in the future, as, despite being finely chopped, they remained pleasantly crunchy to me, but maybe not to my toddler. We'll see. Great recipe! Very quick and easy.
Hi there! So glad you enjoyed this recipe, even though some things didn't really end up as expected. I think subbing the cottage cheese with yogurt was the good move, but I agree you should increase the amount of oats, because of the extra part of water. that came with the yogurt. Yeah, liners are always a better option, but I had only some cheap that stick like a dry pan:) As you can see, there's so many options with these egg muffins, many different vegetables go so well with the eggs in this muffin form, I'm thinking about the asparagus, cause they're in the season now.
@@HowToCookSmarter yes, I have done the same, and my son and I still loved them. I cooked them mostly to get the bitterness out of the radish. I don't like them raw.
@@kcl060 I'm thinking about your way of making these into a casserole, I'll make it for dinner tonight.
Can you pls specify the nutritional values?? Thanks in advance
Thank you for this amazing recipe. I'd appreciate it if you included the measurements in grams too.
Delicious recipe🍪 your video editing look amazing i like it

Hi Nwadiuto, thanks for joining! I appreciate on your feedback, that's what I've been adding to my videos lately, that basic information on health benefits. Have a great weekend!
Enjoying the recipes, would be nice if you could add the calories as well :)
Hi! Would like to bake a healthy rum soaked nuts cake.. Eggless if possible .. Can you help :)
I made this today! 12 of them. My wife and 2 boys were royally pissed I only made 12 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've made egg muffins similar to these before and enjoyed them. The cottage cheese makes this a new one for me, I will try it. Such a great addition for texture! Beautifully shot video, my friend!
Hi Marcelle, thanks for stopping! Egg muffins are such a great breakfast option, right? I think you'll love these even if you don't prefer using cottage cheese, because it melts nicely inside the muffins, and make them really moist, even the day or two after. Also I love the addition of ground oats (or any flour you prefer), not too much of it, it lifts up the muffin and makes a great texture in the end. So glad you like the video!
For me, most brilliant again. This is a complete meal. Thank you thank you my friend.
Can't wait to try your recipe. ..thanks for the measurements too.
excellent recipe for breakfast
Hi, thanks for watching! Yeah, these muffins make a perfect breakfast.
Is it possible to make this recepie with less egg or will the muffin fall together? Here in Norway we came in a egg crisis earlier this year 😅
Delicious. Thanks so much for all your quick and delicious recipes especially the mug cakes. Bon appétit. Cheers. 👍👏

Delicious thank you ❤
Could you maybe put gram measurements? Great video!
Nice healthy recipe
Hi Afton, thanks for checking out this video!
Great recipe.....👌👌👌.perfect breakfast..full of veggies + protein...😍😍😍...quick and easy ...👏👏👏👏
Hi, thanks for checking out and commenting! I agree, these make a perfect breakfast. Have to say I love the veggie-protein ratio in this recipe too, such a great way to switch a breakfast egg routine.
Is there a way to replace the oat flour in your recipes? It spikes my blood sugar and I would love to make some of your recipes. I usually bake with coconut or almond flour. Thank you!!!
Do you have a cook book for sale? I just came across your video's. I love that you use oatmeal in them. Please let me know if there is a cook book and how I can buy it. Thank you❣
Love this recipe- and the accent=so sweet!
Hi! Thanks for your kind words!
Wow so delicious and beautiful 👏👏👏👏
Hi Maryem, thanks for stopping by!
Great as always, pls tell me that if I use mozeralla cheese can it be as good as with cheddar, my kids don't like cheddar for some reason.
Amazing Egg Muffins recipe. They are tasty, healthy and quite easy to make. Great share!
Thanks Kelvin, that's correct, these are so easy to make, I'm just thinking about making an another batch this weekend :)
Te acabo de encontrar en TH-cam me encantaron tus recetas, Me gustaria que usaras mas la harina de almendras que la de avena ya que es mas nutritiva Gracias soy tu nueva subscritora 👍
I made this recipe without baking powder and yeap they sure sunk but wow they were sooo yummy! I was abit disappointed in the way it stuck to my tin cause I guess I didnt grease it enough so gotta work on that. But either than that thanks for this easy recipe ! 😁
What's the temperature you used?
Just tried this recipe.... turned really really good!!! Super easy and tasty!! Loved it! Thanks so much for it!!!
#excellent! 😃😁👍🏼🥳🥳
They looks so delicious and super easy to make. I love the texture, they look so custardy and soft. I think my combination will be bacon and broccoli or spinach, yum. Another great recipe, I am amazed that you got the nice height on these. Very healthy recipe and perfect for on the go. I love it. You're amazing! 👍LIKE #12
Thanks a lot for all those kind words, I appreciate it so much! Adding cottage cheese into the egg muffins was a game changer for me, now I know I'm eating the muffin, earlier with eggs only it was like eating egg omelette, nothing more than that. Bacon, broccoli-spinach, yummy, love your combo. I was just fine with adding the bacon without getting it crispy before, I believe it also added to the soft texture too. Have a great weekend!
Very tasty food👍👏😋😍😋😍👌👍👌👏Great

Love the creativity very healthy nice job your videos are awesome man love the editing skills
Thanks man, I appreciate your words of support, this editing thing it does take quite time, but I'm enjoying it so much, anyway there's so much stuff to learn.
Thank you. I'll be making these. I've made them before, but not with the cottage cheese, great idea!!
Awesome cooking! I want to cook. Thank you for sharing. Full watched.
Hi, thanks for watching and supporting!
I made these and they're delicious 😋! I greased my pan lightly, put cupcake liners in and pan sprayed them. I was able to peel the liner off one handed quite easily.
Those look delicious will have make myself a batch
Anyone tried adding corn meal in place of the oats in this recipe?
Update: I went ahead and added about a half cup medium grind corn meal to the recipe instead of the oats. Came out great! These egg muffins popped right out of my silicone pan. I used seasoned steak bits, chopped bell and jalapeno peppers, half cottage cheese/half full fat Greek yogurt (that’s what I had available), and sharp white cheddar as my add-ins. This recipe, as mentioned by others, is a great framework for many variations. Will use again - thank you!
Really good even though I omitted the oat flour. Thanks!
what baking powder do you use..?
Looks delicious 😋😋😋 really ymmmy recipe thanks for sharing, I'm a new sub 🌷🔔🌷 stay connected 🌷🔔🌷
Hi, thanks for stopping by!

Hi🌹thanks alot for your smart cook I am Arabian from Iraq
Can I use oat flour in these?
Thanks for the help
halo friends, awesome cooking
Hi, thanks for watching!
This is amazing video 😊
Hi, thanks for checking in!
Good afternoon! Wow, another great recipe here. Would it be possible to make this in a small baking dish? It will be wonderful to try a different breakfast as we usually eat cooked oats most mornings. This looks yummy and healthy. Thanks so much Hugs from Shelley and Max
Hi there guys! Sure, you can bake this egg mixture into a casserole and cut in into squares, or any other small baking dish too, even in your mug. Hope it will work good as breakfast! Have a great day!
@@HowToCookSmarter Thank you so much. Really appreciate your help. Will give it a try.
@@2EternityButterflies Sure, anytime!
I make these little muffins all the time but I have never used cottage cheese! I love that idea!
Hi Sylvia, thanks for stopping by! Yeah, the cottage cheese part is pretty cool idea, I love it too. Lately, the cottage cheese was my go-to way to add more protein to our breakfast, I use it in my pancakes too. Do you use cottage cheese in some of your recipes?
@@HowToCookSmarter I love cottage cheese but typically just eat it with S&P or sometimes grate radish into it. I have never cooked with with! And now I want to for sure!
You give me inspiration to try new stuff because it's so easy. 👍
What are the macros chef?
Also nice recipe!
Wow..Another awesome recipe friend.. nice and yummy
Hi, thanks for watching, have a great day!
Another great recipe! Awesome that you add all the veg! I really like the oat flour to make them rise more! Thank you for the extra greasing of the pan! I will so make these muffins! These are great for all the people on the keto diet too! 😊🌷🌼
Thanks friend, I'm so glad you like these egg muffins! Yeah, this recipe works for most of the diets. While doing my research I was thinking to make it 100% keto, you know with just eggs and veggies, but hey I put oats in everything, so I thought why not adding it into the muffins to lift the batter a bit. I thinks it's way better than omelette sort of muffins, and still they're healthy.
Love your cooking. Can't believe I've never seen your channel. Do you have a video on sauerkraut? Keep making amazing food. Thanks
Hi Michelle! Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm so glad you like my videos. At this moment, I don't have a recipe for sauerkraut, I'll consider making one when the season comes.
😊
Which salt are you using?
Love this recipe....Thanks
Hi, thanks for watching, I'm glad you like these egg muffins!
Yummy.
I am going to make it.
Thank you
You have the best video
Edna
Hi Edna, thanks so much for your kind words! These egg muffins are pretty awesome recipe, feel free to use any veggies/meats/cheese you prefer, or you have on hand. Have a great day!
Anyone tried using protein powder instead of oats and baking powder?
I haven’t, but that’s a really good idea I think. Certainly instead of the oats. Because you want to keep the baking powder to help them rise a bit.
How many muffins would these ingredients make?
Hi there! I made it in 12 muffins.
Wow I just discovered your video you have healthy food I sure try them
Hi there Mary! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! These egg muffins are great make ahead breakfast option, so easy to make.
It would be great if you can add calories per 100gr
Thanks for the tip Olga! I'll try to add this info soon.
Perfect simple and healthy
They freeze well too
Hmmm delicious
great ideas and thank you
It would be awesome if you put the macros in :)
Hi Stacy! Will do that soon.
Your voice is so therapeutic
Hi sasha can you make us bread recepie whith flour free please ? Thanks This this recepie. I will try it inshaalah 😁
Hi Nafissa! Give it a try with these egg muffins, you're gonna love these, and feel free to use any veggies you like for variety. Flourless bread? Well, couple of weeks back I uploaded a recipe for oatmeal honey bread, I really like the taste of this bread. I just love using oats for everything. What's your favorite flour substitute?
@@HowToCookSmarter i think millet is a great substitute its full in nutriments and gluten free. Less peaple know about this treasur. I use it in many dish but not yet for bread. Sorry about my bad english. Toking english is a big issue for french peaple 😥😥😥
@@nafissanessaba6251 No worries, my english is not great either, that's totally fine with me. I see people use millet quite a lot here in Croatia, in last couple of years, but I don't have any special experience with it, and I would love to give it a try with this ingredeint. What do you like to cook with it? Any suggestions?
What is cottah cheese?
Cottage cheese
Healthy, delicious recipe.
Thanks Maria!
The recipe is simple and easy to make.
Hi Sarah, thanks for checking out!
If i halved the recipe will it still work ?
Hi there! Sure, just use half of your muffin pan in that case.
bravo👌
Thank you
Just made these myself and I have to say, they are DELICIOUS. I’m not sure you can call anything with bacon and cheese in it “healthy” but it’s certainly a nice way to start the day! And you’d never know there was cottage cheese in there - believe me.
there really are no unhealthy foods its all about calories
nothing wrong with eggs, i eat 6 eggs everyday and im lean and muscular and healthier than i've ever been if youre that concerned eat turkey bacon
Healthy is food that provides nutrition to maintain life. It’s amazing how long people in many countries manage to survive on very little of the foods we consider “ healthy “.
I’m definitely gonna try this recipe 👍🏽
Hi! Thanks for checking it out, hope you'll enjoy these egg muffins!
