Substitution and variations:
- Eggs – For a lower fat content use 2 egg whites instead of 1 egg-so if you’re following this recipe closely that would be a total of 12 egg whites.
- Cottage cheese – This may seem weird, but it makes the muffin’s texture so much better. It adds a little extra protein and really fluffs up the muffin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the substitutes for a cupcake liner?
Parchment Paper, aluminum foil, or good old fashion greasing the pan.
What’s the best muffin recipe?
I love a good banana nut muffin or pumpkin bread muffin.
How to make an egg sandwich?
Very simply. You don’t need fancy ingredients, just grab some bread, eggs, and a little cheese. The key is to place a slice of cheese over the eggs just before they are done cooking to allow it to melt perfectly. Then grab a spatula and place the egg mixture on top of a toasted piece of bread, salt and pepper to taste. Open face or full sandwich, the choice is yours.
