Gluten-Free Strawberry Coconut Eggins Recipe

By admin

My husband is a savory kind of breakfast eater. You know, the kind that prefers veggie filled omelets over pancakes. Me? I’ll choose the pancake 7 out of 7 mornings.

But a syrup covered pancake (or waffle) isn’t always the best option and our early wake-ups require something that will fill me up for a few hours. Pancakes just don’t always do the job.

Plus, I like fast. I like easy. I like convenient. I like things I can make ahead of time, warm up and go.

My go-to for the past month or more has been eggs. Sunny side up with vegetables.

What a healthy breakfast looks like

But here’s my dilemma…

They are neither sweet nor pre-makeable. Which means they’ve lost my interest and I’ve found myself waking up each morning less than enthusiastic about my favorite meal of the day.

Long story short…

I needed to play in the kitchen.

The cinnamon swirl muffins were a hit and if I had more ingredients on hand I would have been happy to make those again… perhaps even in french toast form!!??

But since we were out of town and our grocery levels are on empty, I had to use what we had. I almost felt like a contestant on Chopped! (Love that show).

And that is the long winded story on how these delicious strawberry eggins came to be.

GlutenFree Strawberry Eggins For Breakfast

What’s an eggin?

A muffin mostly composed of egg = Eggin.

I know, genius. Ha.

I decided everyone makes eggins with veggies and cheese (basically baked omelets)… so why couldn’t I use fruit to do the same thing? More like a baked crepe?

So that’s what I did…

messed-up

My first attempt was more pancake style… eggs, strawberries and spinach blended and poured into a oiled up skillet.

FAIL.

I had to share this as it was just too good to keep to myself. Dan just stared at me in disbelief as I ate it for breakfast. At least it tasted good and I refuse to waste food!

But afterwards, I headed back in to try again…

I used silicone muffin molds for these but you can use whatever you have handy. If using metal, I suggest spraying with non-stick spray.

This recipe makes 2 strawberry eggins.

Ingredients:
  • ½ Cup Strawberries, Fresh
  • 3 Eggs (or 2 eggs and 2 egg whites)
  • ¼ Tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 Tbsp Almond Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Coconut Flakes

Directions:
  1. Preheat Oven 350-degrees
  2. Blend everything together. Pour into molds and bake for 12-14 minutes until cooked through
  3. Remove from oven, allow to cool down enough for handling. Top with favorite nut butter and enjoy.

See how easy! Give it a go, I plan on making these all week long but with different add-ins (a trip to the store will be happening today!).

Try it out and let me know how it goes.

Breakfast… sweet or savory?
