These Easy Egg Muffins are perfect for breakfast on the go – or as a yummy snack! They can also be made using a pie maker too.
After a particularly chaotic day where the boys had well and truly broken me (when asked our big boy told my husband he had “broken Mummy into two pieces” – it was more like 200!) I was seriously lacking motivation and inspiration for dinner. Given the boys had emptied the veggie crisper – yep that’s how awesome our day was, I decided to use some of the vegetables that were sitting on the floor and in the back of their dump trucks to make these easy Egg Muffins.
I also had the ulterior motive of distracting them from their quest to completely the destroy the house and put that energy towards something a little more positive. This is the perfect recipe to make with kids – especially little ones as all you need is half a dozen eggs, a little milk and your favourite vegetables to put these together. After setting up all of the ingredients, the boys had a great time putting these together and unbelievably we didn’t even have any fights! – winning!
Along with being a great breakfast or snack for the kids, you can also serve these Egg Muffins as a main meal, simply serve with some extra veggies. They are also great for the kids lunch boxes (providing they are not at an egg free school) and you can pop them in the freezer for an easy snack.
Tips for Making these Easy Egg Muffins
- You can use any vegetables that you wish for this recipe. They are also delicious made with baby spinach and grated sweet potato.
- You do not need to cook the vegetables before adding to your recipe.
- I like to bake these in silicon muffin trays as I find that the easiest way to remove the cooked muffins. You can however use a regular muffin tray, however you will need to grease it very well or use paper cases.
- You can make this recipe in your pie maker, you will only get 4 – 6 pies for this recipe though – this amount will depend on the size of your pie maker.
- These Egg Muffins are freezer friendly.

Oh Hun, those days are the pits.
You’re a better mum than me the last thing I’d be keen to do is take them into the kitchen.
These sound great though, my daughter loves eggs I think she’d eat them for every meal if given the chance lol.

This looks so good. And quick and easy. My kids will only eat eggs if they are boiled, or in pancakes! But I’m still persisting with things like this in the hope that they will supprise me one day!
Bec @ The Plumbette
Great video Lauren! I resort to some sort of egg recipe when I need to make a quick dinner. X
Shannon @ Oh Creative Day
I’m constantly amazed at how you churn out delicious recipes whilst entertaining two little ones. You’re a legend!
My distraction tools involve pegs/ cotton balls/ straws and egg cartons. I give them to the toddler and see what happens…. If that fails, I turn on The Wiggles 😉
