I’m always trying to find new delicious ways to increase my daily superfood intake. One meal in particular that I’ve found difficult to incorporate enough nutrients into is breakfast.

There is always the smoothie bow /french toast/pancake option, which you can top with tons of berries, but I’m not a huge fan of sweet for breakfast, I prefer savory in the morning.

This recipe combines the savory taste of avocado, which gives a creamy and rich taste to the recipe, with a good tomato + spinach kick. I don’t bake avocados often, but I have found that they are actually the perfect healthy fat for various baking recipes.

Avocados, spinach, tomato, and basil are all very powerful superfoods, and they taste so good together. The beauty of this recipe is that you can prepare a batch of these for the week and eat 1 or 2 every morning. It is the perfect healthy breakfast meal prep recipe.

For How Long do These Last?

You can store these in the fridge for up to 7 days, but I recommend that you eat them within 4 to 5 days for optimal taste. Past that point, the avocado will start getting mushy.

Can I Freeze These?

I do not recommend freezing this recipe, as they contain avocado. If you absolutely need a recipe that you could freeze, you could replace the avocado with the same amount of cubed bell peppers or ham/bacon.

Is Cheese Absolutely Necessary?

No, it isn’t. You could make this recipe dairy-free by replacing cheese with the same amount of crumbled tofu and 1-2 tbsp nutritional yeast.

How to Make Sure the Muffins Don’t Get Stuck to the Muffin Pan.

You will need to grease your pan properly for this recipe, as eggs are very sticky, and will glue to your muffin pan if not greased properly. I used an oil spray, but you could use any other type of fat. Just make sure there is enough of it.

Pro Tip: I hate how volatile oil spray is, so I always turn on the fan to the maximum, bring the pan real close and spray there. This way I don’t breathe any of this stuff and keep my counters clean(er).

Can I Really Cook with Avocado?

Yes! And it is delicious, trust me! We are used to eating it raw on toast, as a sauce, or guacamole, but cooked avocado is amazing when done right.

    SUPERFOOD BREAKFAST EGG MUFFINS WITH AVOCADO AND SPINACH
    I have used your recipe by mixing everything except the eggs, then each day I scramble 2 eggs separately and add a spoonful of the mixture and microwave for 1 minute each. I can get a week plus of great breakfasts.
    My granddaughter loves it too. She also used the mixture as a great tasting dip!
    Thanks for a Super recipe.

    With the avocados in the recipe, so you store them in the fridge or freezer? How long do they last for?

      Hi,

      They will last 2 to 3 days in the fridge. I would not advise storing them in the freezer.
