Required Ingredients For Quinoa-Broccoli-Egg Muffin

Detailed Steps For Preparing Broccoli Egg Muffin

Step 1) Pour water into a pot, add chopped broccoli to it, and boil for around 5 minutes. After the broccoli gets cooked, drain the water from the pot and let the broccoli cool.

Step 2) Take small muffin tins that will act as moulds for the recipe mix. To make sure the mix does not stick to the moulds, you need to use silicone baking cups over them. If you don’t have silicon cups, you can grease the muffin tines using oil, butter or similar non-stick cooking spray.

Step 3) Preheat the oven and keep the temperature to 190 degrees Celsius, which is ideal for baking the muffins.

Step 4) Take a blender. Put eggs, broccoli, instant quinoa cereal breakfast, nutritional yeast, milk, instant quinoa powder, and mushroom powder in it. Properly blend all the ingredients until you get a mix of uniform consistency.

Step 5) Take a serving spoon and pour the mix into the muffin tins over the silicone baking cups. Use the spoon to adjust the mixture in the moulds, to help it settle properly.

Step 6) Put the moulds in the oven and bake them for around 20-25 minutes.

Note: The baking time will vary according to the size of the muffin cups.

Step 7) Pop the muffins out of the moulds and serve them after they cool a little. You can also refrigerate and use them later.
