Three Easy to Make Breakfasts | Filling and Tasty!

[@sarahshaw1598]

Hello, I've been watching for some time now, and I don't normally comment, but i am also very lactose intolerant, and I have recently learned some information i would love to share with you. I had a gentlemen that was working at cheese counter at one of our local grocery stores and he informed me that, those who are lactose intolerant should be able to eat aged cheese as long as it's been aged for 8 months or more, because the lactose naturally evaporators during the aging process and the grass fed butter should be ok to use because it's usually the grain that is ged to cows that people can't tolerate. Hope you found this useful.

[@frankowen2815]

When I make granola bars I add egg white to hold it together. Learned it from a old baker. Makes it hold together & crunchy. Love your videos.

[@susanhamilton1707]

How many people yelled...."Dont forget the peaches!!"

[@YT4Me57]

😂

[@amberlovejoy]

Absolutely 😂😂😂 one time Becky from acre homestead had been cooking and accidentally threw her rubber spatula behind the stove.. about a week or 2 later she was complaining she couldn't find it.. I reminded her.. it was hilarious.. she just ordered new ones from Amazon cause her husband still hasn't retrieved the list one 😂😂 I just can't get on board with the egg cups.. I can't stand cold eggs and reheated eggs just seem to have a rubbery texture I can't get past.. I have tried all types of fillings but I really think it's the eggs themselves that throw me off. I would like to try the granola bars tho

[@kiriaioulia]

yep! I was like, "Oh no no no...the peaches!"

[@susanburd4553]

Probably all of us

[@biggestkurtfan]

I said peaches!!

[@eyeswideopen5517]

For the egg bites- look for a recipe that adds cottage cheese. Sounds strange- but def changes the texture. So good!

[@Kranzinator28]

especially blended cottage cheese

[@SandyCline-k5n]

Grated cheese, also acts as somewhat of a binder and helps the texture

[@ambfisch]

I love the ones from Starbucks (WAAAAY too expensive though) and the closest recipe I can find to those use cottage cheese (which bumps that protein up too). I also did some more research and baking them in a ban marie (pan of water) gives them a much more custardy texture.

[@brendastephens5893]

I use a Starbuck's copycat recipe for our egg bites and change them up with what I add, yet always include the cottage cheese,as it does make for a wonderful bite. I also blend all the ingredients in my blender.

[@debbiebarnes4688]

And I bake mine in a water bath. The texture is so nice!

[@dixierobinson2606]

I often make egg bites. I put the spinach or other veggies directly into the muffin cup and then pour the egg mix over the top. That way, I am sure it is evenly distributed.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

The most obvious things excape me sometimes! lol

[@julianawilliams1836]

I came to suggest the same tip! Much easier to make sure everything is even. ❤

[@johnamathan]

For your granola bars, use dates!! Super healthy, they add moisture and great texture!

[@kaybusby7507]

Looks delicious and when it's cold outside plus being busy makes life easier. Thank you for sharing.

[@lindaoverbay8150]

Blend cottage cheese until creamy and ad to your egg bite. Delicious

[@amandaames434]

Chelsea, please link the exact oil sprayer! Happy New Year

[@anitabyars9082]

I get so excited when I see that you have uploaded a new video!! You make me so happy!! 🙂

[@judygalbreath2935]

I make egg bites in large muffin tins. I add spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, sometimes if i have asparagus. I also add onions and peppers, bacon bits, cheese and eggs. Love them . I eat every day. Freeze some. Love it. Love your channel

[@absunshine6906]

Great recipes........I used to make breakfast mini corn bread muffins with sausage, onion and feta crumbles (or shred cheddar) cheese. I even scrambled eggs and added to the batter. Always a family favorite.

[@marciarowley3976]

Hi from Ontario🥰🇨🇦 Can you note the sprayer for the oil? Looks impressive. Love Love your channel ❣️🥰

[@whitecreekhomestead6277]

Yes! I would like to know too!

[@sherismith1882]

I look forward to your videos all week!! I just love you and your style. I just hate that they keep getting shorter 😊

[@JoannaWiseman-y5u]

She's still convalescing

[@rachelmick4051]

Diced ham ( I usually just use deli ham since it what I tend to have on hand) and a little Swiss cheese is wonderful in the egg muffins. Bacon and gouda is amazing! Sausage and cheddar with caramelized onion is great. You can add in a little chopped scallion or onion or green pepper if you like. Finely chopped broccoli and a mild cheese is nice too, but you may want to cook the broccoli a little in advance if it isn't tender enough for your taste. It is a great way to use up leftovers from last night's dinner.

[@sandijammes7761]

3 minutes in & 66 views already!! Way to go Chelsea! We're officially hooked! 😂😂

[@kristiking8170]

I just made egg bites yesterday. The silicone liners make all the difference. I will never make them without liners again. I made sausage, onion, mushroom, broccoli, potato, cheese and egg. I cook all the veggies and meat first to reduce the moisture so they don’t get that funky texture. I have no issues with freezing them and reheating. The best part is they are completely customizable to your combination preferences.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I did them with no liners and they worked well. It probably depends on the muffin pans you have.

[@jackienegron5199]

I have been making egg bites for a couple of years now. I add cooked ground breakfast sausage or cooked and chopped up bacon and I always add grated cheese of some type. We like the 4 cheese Mexican blend. But have also done others. I also add onions chopped small and broccoli chopped up too. There is no limit to the different types of egg bites you can make.

[@TLadret]

I’ve been using an egg bite recipe that you blend up the eggs in your blender with cottage cheese and shredded cheese for extra protein and then I’ll put my ‘extras’ in the muffin tins so that each has even amounts and pour the egg mixture over. (Hope that made sense?) Thanks for all you do my friend! Xoxo

[@iartistdotme]

Fast food at it's best! Can't wait to try.

[@belieftransformation]

What a productive baking day! Those look yummy! I love the silicone muffin liners for muffins, too! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦🌲

[@tassie32]

looks yummy. I add greek yogurt or cottage cheese and blend it makes the bites creamer and gives more protein.

[@PatDoolittle]

Great ideas for some easy breakfasts. Have a blessed week.

[@judymadge7347]

I bought one of those sprayers a few years ago. They're fantastic! You can also just squeeze the sprayer's trigger one time and it will keep spraying for a while...you don't have to repeatedly spray in small 'squirts'.

[@ImaOKay522]

Hello! My egg cups look like yours do, every single time I make them! They are filling and a great snack, too. ❤

[@marymannion5556]

Hi Chelsea, I make granola bars, and I increase the honey... and definitely put the parchment up the sides of the pan.

[@tequilamonster3940]

TBF, totally love your lessons learned it's totally what we alll do.Thank you for your content!

[@johnensminger7675]

Looks delicious! Always enjoy your channel and content! Thanks for sharing!😊

[@faithopeloveful]

Yum! Would love to see a link to that oil sprayer. I have tried a few and have not liked them but I would love to try one that works.

[@barbaraclemons8753]

I've made egg bites before and added crumbled cooked sausage or bacon. Also, parmesan cheese tastes great with them also.

[@safepethaven]

always pulls at my heartstrings when a kitty walks back & forth by your glass deck doors in such cold weather

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Silly girl asks to go out every 20 minutes and then asks to come in again 20 minutes later.

[@nancycowan6109]

She needs her entrance … 👑

[@terrimatteson457]

I bought one of the spray bottles a year ago and said the same thing. I was looking to do the one from the Amish. Some day I will buy a cookbook. I love old cookbooks and try to buy ones I will use them.

[@lorimcmichael5846]

Hi Chelsea! Happy New Year! When I make egg bites, I put the add in on the bottom of the cup and just add the egg mixture. That way I can evenly distribute the “good stuff”! I use broccoli and cheese, or bacon and mushroom - yum .

[@susansutton403]

Love your videos. I will be making egg bites, use to make them in my insta pot. I have 4 of the spay bottles, for olive and avocado oil and vinegar and balsamic vinegar. I bought a green one so I can tell the olive oil from the other one.

[@nancycowan6109]

Love this! Another great video, and I’m going to make those egg “muffins”. So convenient in the morning. I’ve had that same oil sprayer for about six months. It still sprays perfectly and I use it a lot. Works fabulously for popovers. Anyhoo …. Thanks again. ❤️

[@lydiatremblay1667]

for the granola bars try egg whites as the glue to hold them together !

[@Kranzinator28]

could also use flax "egg" if you don't do eggs or cant do eggs

[@gwensullivan6026]

A bit of lard would also firm them up

[@gwensullivan6026]

Store in the bars in the refrigerator will firm the peanut butter

[@helenedoiron239]

Hi Chelsea, happy new year to your family! Health and happiness for 2025. You made me laugh with the cooling on the porch! I do the same in the Maritimes 😊. For the egg bites I agree that cottage cheese ( I blend it before) helps the texture and adds extra protein. Adding a water bath in the oven helps a lot as well with a more velvety texture. Hope it is helpful 😊

[@janeweldon8874]

Breakfast will be yummy!❤

[@cathys9468]

I slightly melt one cup of each nut butter and honey together which holds the bar together. I also add finely chopped dates, chia seeds, pumpkin seed, sunflower seeds, or anything that provides a little protein.

[@susaninthehouse768]

Great recipes. I do cooked bacon pcs for egg bites at times .

[@MandyConner-vg2ux]

For Egg Production: Add supplemental light to your chicken coup. We are down to less than 10 hours of day light in my area. I add enough life using a timer to total 14 hours of light. I buy a good quality layer mash and add oiled sun flower seed, oats, and cracked corn. I make a freeze a suet block, and add one a week to the coup. I add the light after my chicken malt in the fall, and remove when day light returns. Egg production slows a bit, but still 14-17 eggs a day from 21 hens.

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed the video 😊

[@danamama6766]

Love the prepping ahead always to. Love the silicone cups. I goat a full silicone tray for my girls for Christmas and they are totally enjoying it say it works amazing. hugs

[@JoyceSimpson-zq5bt]

Have any of you wondered if a few years down the road we hear about side effects of silicone like we did with Teflon. I’m not meaning to sound alarms but just wondering if anyone else has concerns about it

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I don't use it a ton for that reason.

[@FayeHolt]

years ago Drs stopped using silicone because of problems ,I am like Chelsea now..I started to say cUSING CANCER BUT i REALLY FORGOT...BUT i DONT USE silicone anyway..Many years agao maybe 50 or more,I bought Wilton cupcake pans 4 of them...and they still look and act brand new...they have been used a lot...baking for my sons classroom and holidays .well used...

[@gwencobb1452]

Egg bites are best if ingredients are blended in a.blender ,and cottage cheese is great.

[@kimberlyhaney7582]

Something I will do for my kids is stuffed waffles. I make waffles batter, then put cooked sausage and cooked scrambled eggs and some cheese in the batter and cook. I will also make a breakfast pizza with cream gravy, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs and cheese. They have no problem eating leftovers, if there are any.

[@megsalamack5616]

I put honey or molasses in my granola bars. Just a little bit helps bind them together.

[@carolranigler6912]

Looks so good, Chelsea! Will definitely try those breakfast bars! Granola bars are a favourite here too!

[@BarbaraKohler-c8u]

You could put bacon in the egg bites and add your choice of dried fruit. Like Apricots or prunes in energy bars!!

[@Susan-n3o3e]

A good video. Thank you for sharing it.❤

[@Kranzinator28]

if you add the ingredients to the muffin tins and then pour an egg and blended cottage cheese mixture on top they will be more consistent

[@TheNoTillGardener]

Your bars sound delicious, as do the egg bites. Regarding the bars, take your bars out of the pan and place them on a sheet tray over parchment paper. Bake like biscotti. This will dry them out and crisp them up and they will hold together. As for the egg bites, if you use your instant pot, stacking the cups up on the trivet or the cups sold specifically for this purpose, they will be more like the ones TH and Starbucks sell. There are recipes out there for the sous vide bites using the IP that work well. Perhaps Dan would like some bacon or Canadian bacon in his? We love them this way.

[@leopardwoman38]

Hi Chelsea, would you list the link to your oil sprayer. It looks like a great idea! 😀💕🌸

[@wilmagutierrez7195]

Yes I’m very interested also. I see a couple of similar sprayers on my search on Amazon.

[@flossycaines1270]

Chelsea what is the name of the gadget for spraying EVOO and where did you purchase it please?

[@Queenie12]

Looks delicious!😋

[@nataliec1363]

I’ve noticed the egg shortage here too. I love those silicone muffin liners. I hear you about the little egg shell pieces so annoying. Thanks for the tip on cracking on counter. I have used recipes from well plated by Erin usually pretty good.

[@theresashepard1431]

Don’t try to freeze the egg bits they get so dried out and a weird texture when you do but I did see where you can add cottage cheese or ricotta cheese it’s supposed to help with moisture. They say so blend it on to become more of a liquid. I have silicone muffin pans and they puffed up also. Also try putting sausage or bacon in them.

[@suziereinhart7975]

Hi Chelsea thanks for the yummy ideas , can you please tell me where you bought your fancy oil sprayer. Or did I miss your link?

[@leopardwoman38]

I was looking for it, too. I checked her Amazon store but didn’t see it there, too. It is a great idea.

[@SBJHICKEY-sc1yu]

Good morning I was wondering if your family doing pantry challenge this year? We are enjoying your cookbook😊

[@michelecavanagh1628]

My egg bites I put ham, peppers, shredded cheddar, or swiss, chopped mushrooms and green onions.......sooooo delicious, so much better than Timmies. And I add the ingredients to the silicone cups then pour in the eggs

[@lynncrooks64]

I use old fashioned oats and double the maple syrup or honey.

[@lindas.8036]

Thank you for the fun and the new recipes. I am looking for a good baked oatmeal recipe!

[@annettescanlan2085]

Eastern Washington state is also hit by the Avian Influenza. $23.00 for 5 dozen or $5.80 for a dozen eggs.

[@myberryownhomestead764]

I melted dark chocolate in the bottom of my granola dish, let it harden, then put the granola on top…it seems to help with them holding together!

[@trishapomeroy9251]

chopped dates is what I have found to hold granola together.

[@jeanniedorsey6772]

Everything looks so tasty.

[@elizabethlink3993]

💚 For our Nourishing Generations kids cooking, fitness and nutrition classes, I use half quick oats and half rolled oats for our granola mixes, makes a great texture!💚

[@jordanpower7451]

Thanks for all the meal prep ideas :) I think you meant Well PLATED by Erin though hahaha.. got plants on the mind!

[@ritahall8653]

Thanks

[@thecarters4147]

I love the ones at Tim hortons too! You have inspired me to make some !

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

I was screaming....... peaches Chelsea. Lol I've made the egg bites and mine like yours. I'm just not a fan of baked eggs I think. Loved this video. Ty Chelsea.

[@suewhalen3919]

Hmm. How about chopped dates in the granola bars, for some sweet and may help hold together? Yes, I love Rachel at that 1870s Homestead, as well!

[@LauraS1104]

I have the same silicone muffin cups. Great for dipping sauces as well. Just an FYI, don’t run them through the dishwasher. They absorb the soup and will make your food taste soapy. As me how I know 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@r.m.podlewski1887]

I use 1/2 quick oats & 1/2 old fashioned oats in any oatmeal cookie or granola recipe. If I don’t have quick oats I chop old fashioned oats in my food processor until quick oat size.

[@sandrarussell2549]

Try adding shredded coconut

[@RobynGray-u9h]

Add the solids into the muffin cases first. That way all of them have the same amount. Then add the egg mix last.

[@annuello1]

With your new oil sprayer you could spray your cup before you put the honey and syrup and it slips right out no need for the spatula or the finger😊

[@trainman2860]

I have a bunch of those silicone muffin cups. So easy to get stuff out of and easy clean up. Not sure why your muffins did not rise as good as the others. I have no problems with anything I make rising properly.

[@ladyjoker4u347]

you can put egg whites in your granola bars that works good for making a bar😊

[@susanmurten6178]

Whisk some eggs whites then fold into the granola bars, it will help hold them together and add protein

[@paintingwithparrots8446]

You could try psyllium husk powder and chia seeds to hold together better.

[@katherinenapolitano6547]

The egg bites that were in the oiled pan may have puffed more because they were a bit over cooked. The dark unlined pan gets hotter than the silicone cups or lighter colored pans. At least that’s why cakes and pies cook differently in pans that are different. Also if you reduce the tine and let the center of the egg bites wobble a little and finish cooking outside the oven in the pan they will have a more quiche like texture.

[@kellyhinson4221]

I prefer a sous vide style egg bites. I like my eggs a little custardy? I use the silicone liners but place them in a baking dish, fill them and then very carefully pour a half inch (1.5 cm) or so of hot water in the dish before placing in the oven. They fully cook but without the crispy brown sometimes spongey texture that I don't like.

[@SandyCline-k5n]

Binders for your granola bars are not hard to add. You can add egg whites, you can add maple syrup rather than brown sugar or honey. You can also stir in yogurt or cream.

[@stephencameron1709]

Wonderful video, love your recipes. Val C

[@SuperSunqueen]

I make my egg bites in the instant pot. Done in minutes.

[@pengle]

I make egg bites and add cottage cheese, shred cheese and diced red peppers. I cook them in silicone cups but they are smooth edge not fluted and I don't put them in a muffin pan, I just line them up on a cookie sheet. Mine are usually pretty consistent in size. For the granola bars, would mince meat help hold them together?

[@ShellyS2060]

For the granola bars, could you melt the chocolate chips and spread a layer over the bars? Maybe that would hold it together

[@cyndisgreenoasis6571]

I wonder if marsh mellows would help hold them together better

[@debbiemurrell3632]

Eggs are scarce in Washington state too. And what we do see are expensive.

[@ByThePowerOfRice]

Dates paste! Little bit of olive oil and dates on food processor.. That'll hold up your granola bars nicely. ❤

[@kiriaioulia]

When I make egg bakes, I use cottage cheese. It gives better texture and structure. just swap the milk for cottage cheese.

[@LoriMorrison-d8w]

I am lactose intolerant and I love dairy! Fairlife is the best lactose free milk I even cook with it

[@m.rebeccabyrd739]

I wonder if some egg white mixed in would help bind the granola more.

[@WendyW-ui2fs]

They all look yummy. Congratulations! Trudeau quits

[@gailjohnson2795]

Silicone cooks differently because it does not heat the same as a metal pan which could account for the texture difference

[@KAStodgell]

Aged cheese make it tolerable to Lactose in tolerant peeps. The older the better. Fun when you are fast! Lol. How will you store the egg bites and granola bars?

[@lynncrooks64]

Add some cottage cheese blended and increase the protein even more in the egg bites.

[@KatMa664]

I just made some of those egg muffins for my husband for work this week. I cook them and then I freeze them. And he takes a couple to work each morning. Those silicone muffin cups make all the difference. They were not doing well in paper, they stuck to the pan even when I greased it when I didn’t use paper, but the silicone molds are perfect. Now my big question was should I leave them in the molds or take them out when I freeze them. I took them out of the molds, but I’m still not sure that was the right thing to do. He’s going to zap them in the microwave when he eats them at work. I’m thinking maybe I should’ve left them in the mold. I just didn’t wanna take a chance that he would accidentally throw them out. Which is absolutely possible lol anyway they’re fantastic

[@lisagrafton2529]

I've heard that putting flour and water into granola helps them clump together. I'm sure it would also be the same for making them into bars. I've made granola with flour added, and can attest to the fact that it works well to keep more clumps of granola! My family and grandchildren love my granola! I use the recipe from One Acre Homestead, but I use honey, instead of maple syrup, for a more neutral flavor. Plus, I don't like the flavor of maple syrup! Did you put honey in your bars? That could also help bind them together. So glad you're feeling better! Being sick around the holidays is very depressing, especially if you can't get things accomplished, that you planned on, for gifts. We ended up having our Christmas on December 29th, because my daughter and grandchildren were all sick! It actually gave me time to slow down, and not be tempted to do everything in a couple days, then I'd be down for several days, because of health issues. Starting to make food several weeks ahead, and freezing it, helps me do what I want, but not hurt my worn out body.
