Can I Use Carton Egg Whites or Should I Separate Them Myself?

Great question! You can absolutely use carton egg whites for this recipe. They’re convenient, consistent in texture, and eliminate the need to figure out what to do with leftover yolks. Just be sure to choose a brand with no added ingredients — 100% egg whites only.

How To Make the Egg White Muffins with Veggies

Step 1: Prep Your Muffin Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a non-stick muffin tin with olive oil spray. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

Step 2: Chop the Veggies

Finely dice the spinach, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Keeping the pieces small helps them distribute evenly and cook through in the short baking time.

Step 3: Mix the Egg Whites

Pour the egg whites into a large mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until lightly frothy.

Step 4: Add the Veggies

Stir the chopped vegetables into the egg whites. Make sure everything is evenly mixed for consistent flavor in every muffin.

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Cups

Use a ladle or measuring cup to pour the mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.

Step 6: Bake Until Set

Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the muffins are set and slightly golden around the edges. Let them cool for a few minutes before removing.

Step 7: Enjoy or Store

Eat warm, or cool completely and store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for a quick bite anytime.
