Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup bell peppers, diced (a mix of red, yellow, and green for vibrant color)

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta recommended for optimal flavor)

1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the muffin tin

Optional toppings: avocado slices, salsa, or hot sauce

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C). While it heats, generously grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or a light coat of olive oil to ensure easy removal of the pancakes.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack all 6 eggs and whisk them together with the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Incorporate the Vegetables: Carefully fold in the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese into the egg mixture. Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture for balanced flavor in every bite.

        Fill the Muffin Cups: Pour the egg and veggie mixture into each muffin cup, filling them approximately 3/4 full. This leaves ample room for the pancake to rise as it bakes.

          Bake to Perfection: Insert the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The veggie pancakes are done when they are firm in the center and lightly golden on the surface. To check, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean if they are cooked through.

            Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before gently removing each pancake from the tin. Serve them warm, garnished with optional toppings like creamy avocado slices, zesty salsa, or a splash of hot sauce for an extra kick.

              Storage: If you find you have leftovers, place the pancakes in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage; simply reheat when ready to enjoy!
