Ok, I tried this recipe:
1 cup of canned pumpkin
3 scoops jillian michaels protein powder
8 packets stevia
3/4 cup of egg whites
2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 cup of whole wheat flour.
I ended up with 15 muffins that I cooked for 20 minutes on 350. They are ok tasting, an eggyish texture but yummy as a snack. I do not know if anyone wants to try this but my eggy muffins are 56 calories a muffin and about 0.5 gms of fat and 6 gms protein. there are a nice refresher but taste good heated up. I do not know who wants to be brave and try it. Ryan Miller had one and loved it and took some to work! They are not as proteiny muffins since I added whole wheat flour but each muffin is 6gms protein and 6 gms carbs. not bad for getting energy though.

Hi All,

I've made these a lot of times. They are easy to make, tasty, and freeze/thaw really well too. I've made them as the recipe below says but I've also substituted veggies with whatever's left in my fridge and they've always turned out well. Hope you enjoy. I'm really looking forward to trying the recipes you all submitted. Nice idea to post these.



Veggie Mini-Quiche Cups

Ingredients:
3/4 cup liquid egg substitute or 3 large eggs or 3 /4 cup egg whites
1 package frozen chopped spinach (10 oz.) or one large bunch fresh spinach
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese
1/4 cup diced red or green peppers or mixture of both
1/4 cup diced onions
Dash of hot pepper sauce
Salt/pepper to taste
Directions:

Makes ~12 quiche cups

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Spray regular-size muffin tin cups with the cooking spray or the quiches will stick to the baking cups.
3. Thaw and drain spinach. Wring it out well. If using fresh spinach, steam it in the microwave, press out all juice, then chop.
4. Mix the spinach, eggs or egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onions, hot pepper sauce, salt/pepper in a bowl.
5. Fill the muffin tin cups with the mixture.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for ~20 minutes. Done when a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
7. Remove from cups to serve.
