Description
Nutrient-packed mini muffins that’ll have your pup thinking breakfast sharing is the best tradition—complete vitamin support in perfect portions
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 18 minutes | Total Time: 33 minutes | Makes: 12 mini muffins
Ingredients
- 4 oz fresh spinach, chopped (baby spinach preferred for tenderness and mild flavor)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature (provide complete protein and perfect binding)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (freshly grated provides better melting and calcium)
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth (never regular—too much salt for dogs)
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (provides fiber and perfect muffin structure)
- 1/2 tsp olive oil (ensures easy release and adds healthy fats)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease mini muffin tin for perfect individual portions.
- Whisk eggs until well combined, then add spinach, cheese, chicken broth, and olive oil for nutrient-rich base.
- Stir in flour until just combined—avoid overmixing for tender, light texture.
- Spoon mixture into muffin cups, filling 3/4 full to allow for proper rising.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until set and slightly golden with incredible breakfast aroma.
- Let cool completely before serving—hot muffins can burn your pup’s mouth.
Notes:
- Always let cool completely—hot egg muffins can burn your pup’s mouth
- Amber prefers these when they’re tender and moist but firm enough to hold their individual shape
- If batter seems thick, add tablespoon of broth; if too thin, add bit more flour
Storage Tips:
- Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 1 week (they maintain freshness and nutrition beautifully)
- Freeze individual muffins for up to 2 months—perfect for grab-and-go daily nutrition
- Can be served straight from fridge or brought to room temperature
