Egg Bites

Posted by Jenny Nelson on

Have you ever tried Starbucks egg bites? I LOVE them but am not a fan of the price! Not in my budget to get these all the time so was determined I needed to make my own.

I first tried making egg muffins. Sure, they were good but a little on the dry side and didn’t have the same satisfaction as the Starbucks egg bites.

I started searching and found out in the instant pot you can make amazing egg bites. So I bought the baby food molds on amazon and tried it out. WOW! This is one of my favorite snacks to have in the fridge. I hadn’t made them in a while but decided to make them this weekend and they are the easiest thing to grab and go and Lizzy loves them too!
