Hey Lykkers! Ever had one of those mornings where you want something healthy and delicious but don’t have the energy to think beyond coffee? Yep, we’ve all been there. That’s exactly why I’m so excited to share today’s recipe—it’s colorful, it’s nourishing, and it’s honestly kind of fun to eat.

Forget the boring toast or sugary muffins. These Rainbow Veggie Quinoa Breakfast Muffins are your new go-to. They’re packed with protein, veggies, and flavor—all baked into cute, portable little bites you can prep ahead. So, let’s get into it!

Why You’ll Love These Muffins?

Okay, first of all, they’re loaded with nutrition. Quinoa gives you plant-based protein and fiber, while the eggs keep you full and fueled. Then, throw in a mix of veggies for color, crunch, and even more vitamins. These are gluten-free, customizable, and totally freezer-friendly. Oh, and they look super cute on your breakfast plate!

Ingredients (Makes 10–12 Muffins)

Here’s what you’ll need to whip these up:

- 1 cup cooked quinoa (make sure it’s cooled)

- 4 large eggs

- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

- 1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped

- 1/4 cup grated carrot

- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped

- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheese (feta or cheddar work great)

How to Make Them?

These are seriously easy to make—even if you’re half-awake and still in pajamas.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a standard muffin tin.

2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until fluffy, then stir in your cooked quinoa.

3. Add the chopped veggies, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cheese (if using). Mix well until everything’s evenly combined.

4. Scoop the mixture into your muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.

5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the centers are firm.

6. Let them cool for a few minutes before popping them out.

You can eat them warm, or store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. They also freeze really well—just thaw and reheat when you need a quick bite.

Serving Ideas

Pair 2 muffins with a sliced avocado or a spoonful of Greek yogurt for a full-on breakfast. Or grab one solo as a post-workout snack. They’re super versatile!
