½ cup mushrooms, finely chopped
¼ cup onion, finely diced
¼ cup crumbled feta or shredded cheddar cheese

Smart Swap
Dairy-Free Option: Skip the cheese or use nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without dairy.
Add-Ins: Sun-dried tomatoes, jalapeño, turkey sausage, or any leftover roasted vegetables work great in these muffins.
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray. Dice all vegetables into small uniform pieces.
Mix
Whisk 8 eggs in a large bowl with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, mushrooms, onion, and crumbled feta or shredded cheese.
Fill and Bake
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling about three quarters full. Bake 18-20 minutes until the centers are set and tops are lightly golden.
Store and Serve
Cool 5 minutes before removing from tin. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in microwave for 30 seconds.

Why this Recipe Works
Eggs have a glycemic index of 0 — they produce absolutely no rise in blood glucose.
14g protein per 2-muffin serving prevents the mid-morning blood sugar crash from high-carb breakfasts.
Spinach is rich in magnesium — a mineral that over 50% of Type 2 diabetics are deficient in.
Make 12 on Sunday, refrigerate up to 5 days, reheat in 30 seconds — zero morning effort.
