Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large egg whites (approx. 360 ml or 1.5 cups)
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • ½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or thawed frozen, squeezed dry)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt (fine sea salt recommended)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Olive oil spray or cooking spray for greasing muffin tin
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon feta or shredded cheese (if not dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease the muffin tin with olive oil spray or cooking spray.
  3. Grate the zucchini finely and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites lightly until frothy but not stiff.
  5. Add the grated zucchini, diced red bell pepper, chopped spinach, and sliced green onions to the egg whites. Gently fold with a spatula until evenly combined.
  6. Season the mixture with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Fold gently again.
  7. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the tops are set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix to keep muffins fluffy. Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini and spinach to avoid soggy muffins. Use fresh egg whites for best texture. Optionally add cheese or spices for flavor variations. Muffins can be frozen and reheated gently to maintain texture.
