These Berry Muffins are a great “baked egg muffin recipe” for those who are allergic to eggs, but can tolerate baked egg (only with your certified allergist’s professional guidance, of course!). Read more about egg allergies and baked egg from FAACT here. These baked egg muffins aren’t overly sweet, and make a nice breakfast paired with some protein.
Perhaps you or your child have passed the baked egg challenge, and you’re stumped on what to bake after you get home. After all, the original baked egg muffin recipe gets old pretty fast.
Jump to RecipeYou’re not alone. I also had a hard time finding recipes that fit the baked egg criteria. For us, this meant 1/3 of an egg per serving, baked for at least 30 minutes at 350F for longer. Add in a sometimes-picky toddler or preschooler, and it’s an even bigger challenge!

We are no stranger to food allergies in this house. My 2 year old son has peanut and tree nut allergies, and is also allergic to egg (he had an anaphylactic reaction to scrambled eggs at 7 months). As of 2019, my son was doing Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) treatment, and was newly able to eat egg in baked form.
2022 Update! We’ve moved onto Oral Immunotherapy – he’s completed peanut, and is slowly working on egg. Incorporating baked egg is still an important part of continuing our treatment plan.
These could likely be baked for less time, but my recipe calls for the full 30 minutes… If you’ve been down the Baked Egg Tolerance road, you know that this is often the initial requirement for a recipe to be considered “baked egg”.
My son is normally a big muffin fan, but since passing his baked egg challenge, I’ve been giving him a LOT of muffins. He’s either getting sick of them, or he’s onto me… perhaps a little of both! I’m trying to keep it interesting with a variety of recipes, but it’s getting a little tough. Next, I’d like to play around with some savory baked egg recipes.

Berry Muffins (Baked Egg Tolerance: ⅓ or ¼ egg per muffin)
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¼ cup butter, melted (may try dairy free butter, although I have not tried myself)
- 2 Tbsp vegetable or canola oil
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup milk (or dairy free milk)
- ⅔ cup diced berries OR chocolate chips (I like raspberries and/or blueberries, but any would work!)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In large bowl, stir together sugar and butter until creamy (I just use a spoon or whisk, although you may use a hand mixer to get it extra fluffy). Stir in oil, eggs, and vanilla.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir about half of dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Add all of the milk and remaining dry ingredients, and stir just until combined.
- Fold in berries of choice (I like to use blueberries, or a mix of blueberries and raspberries). For a sweeter twist, try chocolate chips.
- Divide batter evenly into a 6-muffin tin. Muffin cups will be fairly full, but this is okay. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
- Enjoy warm, or cool on wire rack completely before storing in an airtight container.

Hi! Do you I have any suggestions on sugar substitutions? I’m making this for my 7 month old and I want to avoid added sugar. Thanks!
Hello! I haven’t played around with the sugar content, but I think with the berries adding some natural sweetness, you could probably cut down the sugar to 2 Tbsp, or even omit it altogether! At 7 months old, they may not miss the sugar at all, since it’s not a flavor they’re used to or expecting. When introducing eggs to my second child, I made similar muffins without the sugar, and pureed them with some liquid. I thought they were bland, but she loved them. 🙂 I hope this helps!
Made these today without sugar and my son liked it! He also has an egg allergy and our allergist gave us the OK to give him baked egg. I’m happy to finally find a recipe that he likes! Thanks!!
That’s so great! I’m glad to hear he enjoyed them. Thank you for the update!
Hello, I am preparing muffins for a egg challenge but using only one egg. While your recipe work still or will I need to use an egg replacement for the secondary egg?
*will
Hello! I haven’t tried using only one egg, so I’m not 100% sure how it would turn out. That being said, it’s a pretty moist recipe with two eggs, so I think they may still turn out just omitting one of the eggs. I hope this helps!
Forgot to mention I used oat milk and vegan butter and they worked fine!
Thank you for sharing this – I’m always happy to hear when DF options work out, too!
These were a big hit with my almost two year old. Made as directed and they turned out great. Next time I’ll add a bit more sugar to suit my taste. So far it seems like he’s tolerating the baked egg well! Thanks for sharing this easy, tasty recipe!
Thank you! I’m so glad your son is tolerating the baked egg (it feels like a big step!), and you guys are enjoying the recipe! 🙂
