Made in a muffin tin, these vegan egg bites come together in about 35 minutes and store beautifully for busy mornings.

And the best thing?

They’re ideal if you love the convenience of Starbucks egg bites but want a completely plant-based version you can make at home.

Because they use JUST Egg, a liquid vegan egg substitute made from mung beans, they bake up soft and fluffy with a texture surprisingly similar to traditional egg muffins.

But that’s not all…

Whether you’re planning a vegan breakfast meal prep, looking for new recipes with JUST Egg, or simply want a savory grab-and-go breakfast, these vegan egg bites are an easy recipe to keep on repeat. They’re like a mini quiche loaded with fresh veggies. 

Why JUST Egg Works Best

If you’re wondering how to make vegan egg bites that actually hold together, JUST Egg is one of the best options.

Unlike chickpea flour or tofu-based egg substitutes like I use in my Tofu Scramble recipe, JUST Egg bakes into a texture that’s closer to traditional eggs. It firms up nicely while still staying soft in the center, which is exactly what you want for egg bites.

If you’re exploring recipes with JUST Egg, these bites are one of the easiest places to start. And if you love using JUST Egg, try my JUST Egg Frittata.

4. Add Cheese and Green Onions

Sprinkle the vegan cheddar cheese and green onions over the top. Bake for 22–28 minutes, until the tops are set and lightly golden. The bites will puff slightly while baking and settle as they cool, which is completely normal. After removing from the oven, let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then loosen with a knife before removing.

  • Grease the Muffin Pan Well – JUST Egg can stick if the pan isn’t properly greased.
  • Dice Vegetables Small – This helps them cook evenly and prevents watery egg bites.
  • Don’t Overfill the Cups – Leaving space allows the bites to expand slightly while baking.
