Tips

  • These egg cups have a fluffy, airy consistency due to the baking powder. For a firmer texture take the baking powder out and add 1/4 cup of flour (coconut flour for a keto diet, and cornstarch for a gluten-free diet).
  • You can keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Trade zucchini for shredded broccoli or cauliflower.
