Cheesy Cauliflower Muffins Recipe

Lori
Last night, I decided to make this post and share with you the delicious recipe of one of my favorite savory muffins, the Cheesy Cauliflower Muffins!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Course Breakfast
Cuisine American
Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium jalapeño peppers
  • 2 1/2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon cooked crispy and crumbled, divided
  • 1 1/4 cup cheddar cheese , shredded, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/3 c. water

Instructions
 

  • Place top oven rack in center position and pre-heat oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Remove the stem and seeds from one of the jalapeño peppers and finely dice the rest. Slice the remaining pepper into 12 thin rings and set aside in a large microwave-safe bowl.
  • Add the diced jalapeño, riced cauliflower, 2/3 of the crumbled bacon, one cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and the garlic powder to the large bowl and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
  • Whisk eggs and water together in a second bowl and pour on top of the riced cauliflower mixture. Stir the egg mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Divide the cauliflower batter among the openings in the prepared muffin tin. You can use an ice cream scooper to equally scoop batter into the muffin tin. Top each muffin with some of the remaining bacon, shredded cheese, and one of the jalapeño rings.
  • Place in the pre-heated oven and bake 20-25 minutes or until the egg is set and the muffins are golden brown on top. Remove from oven and cool for several minutes before serving. The remaining muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for several days or frozen for later use. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. If the mixture is too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of excess water to the mixture to create a batter-like consistency.
