These Vegan Egg Muffins with Sausage are the perfect breakfast bites! Easy to make and protein-packed, these breakfast muffins will keep you full all morning!
Is it just me or is breakfast food underrated? I love breakfast food. When I went vegan, the hardest thing for me to give up was eggs. It still is a struggle not to crave eggs. I would eat them every morning for breakfast. Scrambled, fried, in a breakfast sandwich, it didn't matter, they were all my favorite. I am so thankful that plant-based products have come as long as they have. We have so many options now to eat and to recreate foods that are our favorite. These Vegan Egg Bites are made with Just Egg. An egg replacement that tastes and looks just like the actual thing. Fill these bites with vegan sausage and some delicious vegetables and you have something that can fool even non-plant-based eaters. I could eat these egg muffins every day!

Ingredients
The ingredients in this recipe can be found in most grocery stores.
Ingredient Notes:
Just Egg: I have found my Just Egg at both Target and Sprouts. I am sure you can find it in some Whole Foods and even Walmarts. It is amazing to see how far plant-based products have come! These will be our egg replacers.
Vegan Breakfast Sausage: Feel free to use any vegan breakfast sausage you like. My favorite is the Beyond Breakfast patties that I chop up. However, any vegan sausage will do.
Cayenne: We add just a touch of cayenne to this recipe to give it just a kick of heat. It is not enough to make these spicy at all, but it does help to round out the flavor.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Finely chop the red bell pepper, spinach, and tomatoes. If needed, chop up the breakfast sausage.
Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix to combine.
Spoon the mixture into individual muffin tins, make sure to not overfill the tins. I love my silicone muffin tin that I got here!
Pop the muffins in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. You will know that these are done when you insert a knife in the center of one and it comes out clean.
Hint: Try using a silicone muffin pan for easy removal of these egg bites!
Substitutions
- Low-Sodium- Try making these low sodium by leaving out the vegan sausage or using a low sodium kind.
- Nightshade-Free- Feel free to leave out the nightshades and replace them with your favorite vegetables.

FAQ's
No, you don't have to use Just Egg, you can make these Vegan Egg Muffins with tofu or chickpea flour, however please note that I haven't tested it this way.
Of course! Feel free to use whatever plant-based meat you enjoy. Try these with some vegan bacon or even leave the meat out entirely and add in half a cup of black beans and some taco seasoning to give this a Mexican twist!
Yes! These Vegan Egg muffins have only 4 grams of carbs per muffin, totally keto friendly!
I am a firm believer that taste varies from person to person but in my opinion, yes, Just Egg product does taste like eggs. I like to add spices to the recipe to round out the flavor but I don't need to add anything to make it taste eggy.
