Cheese is a staple in most egg muffins, including my go-to easy egg muffin recipe. I’m not really crazy about eggs unless they have lots of butter and cheese thrown in. So, when I set out to develop a delicious dairy-free egg muffin, I wondered if it could really be done.

Saute the sweet potato, add drained black beans and season, then fill muffin cups.

Once I tried one of these egg muffins, they quickly became my new go-to breakfast recipe. So easy, and full of healthy, low-cost ingredients. These black bean and sweet potato egg muffins are a winner!

Next, add the eggs.

Simple, Thrifty Ingredients

It says it right at the top of the page near my logo: I love simple and thrifty recipes. When considering all of the ingredients to use for dairy-free egg muffins, I chose to keep the ingredient list simple. These black bean and sweet potato egg muffins have just a few low-cost ingredients, but they’re packed full of flavor!

A Healthy Make-Ahead Option

My favorite thing about this recipe is that it’s a healthy make-ahead option. Cook a batch at the beginning of the week and pop them in the fridge or freezer for a quick, ready-to-go breakfast, lunch or snack!Black Bean and Sweet Potato Egg Muffins: A healthy and easy make-ahead breakfast recipe.

      I am all about the dairy versions usually too! I love putting lots of cheese in my Easy Egg Muffins. Unfortunately, my 2 month old doesn’t seem to be able to handle it when I eat dairy products, which forced me to get creative with new ways to enjoy egg muffins. I hope your husband enjoys them as much as I do!

    I’m always looking for new breakfast ideas for my picky toddler. I love being able to make a batch of something and freeze it for an easy individual breakfast in the morning. My two year old likes all 3 of these ingredients! So, I will definitely be adding this to my list of recipes to try. Thanks for sharing!
