🥘 Ingredient notes
- non-dairy milk - I used unsweetened organic soy milk, which is made from whole soybeans. It is mild and creamy.
🥣 Instructions
Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper or liners (or use a silicone muffin pan).
Whisk the dry ingredients (not the vegetables) together in a large bowl. Pour in the milk and mix until a thick batter forms. Fold the broccoli, onion, and carrots into the batter.

💭 Top tips
- If you are using a silicone muffin pan, place it on a baking sheet before filling it for a more effortless transfer in and out of the oven.
- These Broccoli Cheddar "Egg" Cups are especially delicious when they are still warm. I recommend reheating the leftovers.
