Why I Love These Egg Muffins with Bacon for Toddlers

I love egg muffins with bacon for my toddlers because they’re bite-sized meals that come in a complete package.

Each bacon egg muffin contains protein, vitamins, and minerals (that is if you add veggies to the egg muffins). When paired with a carbohydrate, you get a well-balanced meal.

Nutritional Considerations for Babies

Babies younger than 12 months of age shouldn’t be fed anything with bacon in it.

This is because bacon contains a high amount of sodium.

Sodium in food should be avoided for babies just starting their baby-led weaning journey.

Recipe Substitutions/Variations for Kid-friendly Bacon Egg Bake

Substitute Bacon for other Breakfast Meat

If you’re going to make this recipe for a baby, you can substitute the bacon for something more healthy.

Some bacon substitutes are lunch meat such as sliced turkey, chicken, and ham.

Other substitutes are breakfast sausages that aren’t too salty.

Add vegetables to the Egg muffin Bites

To make the egg muffin bites more nutritious, you could add in some mixed vegetables.

Frozen veggies work great with this recipe because you won’t have to thaw them first.

So they won’t leech out water to make the egg bake soggy.

Allergy Considerations for Bacon Egg Bites for Toddlers

Eggs are a common allergen

Eggs are one of the most common allergens in children. So make sure you observe your child for signs of allergic reactions after feeding them eggs.

Cheese is a common allergen

Cheese is another common allergen you should watch out for. These egg muffins for kids contain cheese.

It helps the eggs bind to the other ingredients. You can make the egg bites without the cheese but they may fall apart easier.

Ingredients For Toddler-friendly Egg Muffins with Bacon

Bacon – you can use as little or as many as you want.

Eggs – use more than 4 eggs if you want to make a larger batch to freeze for later.

Mixed veggies – these are optional, but they will make the egg muffins more nutritious.

Cheese – You can use any cheese of your choice. Cheddar cheese works well for this recipe. I’ve also used Parmesan and Mexican blends as well.

Seasonings – you can use any seasoning combination of your choice.

What To Serve With Bacon & Egg Muffins for Babies & Toddlers

Serve with a side of toast

Toast is the simplest thing to serve with bacon and egg muffins for kids.

You can spread some peanut butter or jam on the toast for more flavor.

My favorite way to serve toast is with avocado on top.

Serve with a side of fruits

Fruits are always a great option to serve with toddler meals.

Any fruit that your kids love can be placed on the side of this bacon egg bite.

How To Cut Egg Muffins for Baby-led Weaning

6-9 Months old

At 6-9 months old, babies should be served egg muffins cut in half.

This will allow them to grab and bring the egg muffins to their mouths easily.

9-12 months old

Babies between 9-12 months old can be fed bite-sized egg muffins. Teach them how to use utensils by preloading a fork for them to eat with.

12- 24 months and older

You can serve whole egg muffin bites to toddlers between 12- 24 months. They will be able to hold and take small bites at this age.

Cooking Directions For Bacon Egg Muffin Bites

Set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, add the egg and all the other ingredients. Mix well to combine.
Pour the egg mixture into each well of the muffin pan. Don’t overfill.
Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve and enjoy!

Storage Tips for Bacon Egg Muffins

How long can I refrigerate bacon egg bake for?

You can keep your bacon egg bake in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just make sure you seal it in an airtight container.

Can you freeze egg bites?

You can freeze egg bites to enjoy later.

Egg bites are great for people who are meal-planning because they’re individual breakfasts that can be reheated quickly.

To freeze egg bites, place a piece of parchment paper between each egg bite to prevent them from sticking together.

Then freeze them in an airtight container.

How to reheat egg muffins from frozen

To reheat frozen egg muffins, wrap them in a wet paper towel and heat for 1-3 minutes in the microwave.

You can also reheat frozen egg muffins in the oven. To do so, set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and place the egg muffins on a baking sheet.

Bake until the egg muffins are heated through, then remove from the heat and serve.

Tips for Picky Eaters

Don’t pressure

Give your baby or toddler a chance to say no. It’s okay if they don’t like what we serve them. Keep trying.

It takes at least 30 exposures for a baby to begin liking a food, so don’t give up.

Make it into a game

Sometimes I create games around the food I serve to get my kids interested in eating.

A game we’ve played in the past is called “Here comes the airplane… open the garage”. This encourages them to open their mouth as I bring the food in like an airplane.

Sometimes my kids will try new foods this way.
