2

Whisk the eggs

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until well combined.

3

Prepare the vegetables

Add the diced bell peppers, onion, chopped spinach, and crumbled bacon to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.

Pro tip: Feel free to substitute or add any of your favourite vegetables.

4

Season the mixture

Season the egg and vegetable mixture with salt and black pepper. Mix well.

Pro tip: Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning to your preference.

5

Fill the muffin cups

Evenly distribute the egg mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Pro tip: Use a ladle to make filling the cups easier and less messy.

6

Bake the muffins

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.

Pro tip: Insert a toothpick into one muffin; if it comes out clean, they're ready.
