Notes
Note
- Be sure to grease the baking tin very well, these muffins will otherwise stick to the tin or use cupcake cases to line the tin, especially if eating on the go or as part of a lunch pack.
- If you don't have muffin tins, use your Moi Moi tins.
- Do not overload your egg muffins with ingredients, it is still about the eggs after all.
- For lighter muffins, use 4 whole and 2 egg whites.
- You can put round slices of plantain on top before baking for a more filling meal.
