Let's get to the recipe for these delicious and savory one-bowl vegan Broccoli Cheddar "Egg" Cups!
🍽 Equipment
What you're going to need to make these vegan broccoli cheddar egg cups:
- silicone muffin pan or muffin pan with paper liners
- mixing bowl
- spatula
- cutting board
- chef's knife
- grater
🥘 Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you're going to need to make these Broccoli Cheddar Egg Cups. The specific amounts are in the recipe card.
- chickpea flour (garbanzo bean flour), which is ground up white chickpeas
- nutritional yeast
- ground turmeric
- paprika
- pink Himalayan salt
- baking powder
- nondairy milk - I used unsweetened organic soy milk, which is made from whole soybeans. It is mild and creamy.
- broccoli florets cut into bite-sized pieces - I had more broccoli than the recipe called for, so I added an extra half-cup to avoid waste.
- yellow onion finely diced
- shredded peeled carrots - I didn't peel my carrots; they got a good scrubbing!
🥣 Instructions to make these Cheddar Egg Cups
Okay, now let's get to the directions to make these:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees 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, then evenly divide the batter among the cups in the muffin tin. Remember, I used an extra half-cup broccoli to get more of that broccoli goodness and to avoid waste.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately once cooled a little bit, or transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Storage
Let the muffins cool completely before storing them in the fridge for up to 1 week.
💭 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.
