Mexican Egg White Morning Muffins

Sunday, August 25, 2013

From our skinny table to yours...

We LOVE Mexican flavors.  Especially cilantro, that delicious herb just does it for us!  What better way to start off your day then with a fiesta in your mouth?  That's where our Mexican Egg White Morning Muffins come in!  Healthy and delicious, our favorite combo :)

 
These are so delicious and SO EASY to make!  We loaded up these morning muffins with veggies.  We went with roasted corn, yellow onion, red pepper,  yellow squash and lots of fresh spinach!  You could of course use any combo of veggies, but let us just say the combo we picked was delish!  Although we might swap out the spinach for kale next time just to mix it up ;)
 
 
We simply sautéed these veggies up with our Mexican flavors.  We added cumin, chili powder, and lots of fresh cilantro!  What's an egg muffin without a little cheese?  We added 3 tablespoons of reduced fat Mexican cheese for the perfect cheesy addition!

 
We portioned these out into individual muffin tins for the perfect grab n' go style breakfast!  We love to make our breakfast muffins every Sunday so we have quick, easy and nutritious breakfasts waiting for us in the fridge all week long :)

 
Pop these in the oven until golden brown and trust us you will be in love!  Enjoy this morning treat for only 50 calories!  Feel free to eat more than one ;)  Have a happy and healthy week all!
