These mung bean egg muffins can be packed with all kinds of veggies, and are complemented by a tangy tahini sauce. I like to use cherry tomatoes, kale, and bell peppers, but some other options include diced red onions, diced potatoes, sliced mushrooms, spinach, or chopped broccoli florets.
The tangy tahini sauce complements these vegan egg muffins so that you won't find them dry, and adds a burst of flavor. I seasoned this tahini drizzle with lemon juice and a little bit of mustard and hot sauce for flavor. You could also use ketchup instead of hot sauce.
For the creamiest and best tasting tahini sauce, it is important to use a super smooth, high quality tahini, like this Seeds of Collaboration tahini that is sourced in the Middle East and contributes to Middle East Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow! Check it out here.
These vegan egg muffins are a great option when you want to serve many people at a brunch party, because you can just pop them in the oven and double the recipe if you wish to make more.
To give these muffins an egg like flavor, we use kala namak, or black salt. It can be easily found online and is useful for giving an eggy flavor to vegan recipes!

Vegan Egg Muffins with Mung Beans and Tahini Drizzle (Gluten-Free)
These vegan egg muffins are gluten-free and ready in 20 mins without chickpeas or tofu! They can be customized with your favorite veggies.
Ingredients
Egg muffins
- ¾ cup split yellow mung beans (moong dal)
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp avocado or vegetable oil (optional)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp black salt (kala namak)
- Chopped or diced veggies of your choice (I used diced bell pepper, kale leaves, and halved cherry tomatoes. Try spinach or diced red onion)
Tahini sauce
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp hot sauce or ketchup (I used cholula)
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1-2 tbsp water
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Add all ingredients for the egg muffins, except for the veggies, into a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Chop and dice the veggies you will be using and set aside.
- Grease a muffin pan or line with parchment baking cups. Pour egg muffin mix into the muffin cups until ⅔ full. Add some diced veggies to each cup and push down slightly. Bake for 20-25 mins, until the edges are slightly browned and start to pull away from the edge of the cups. You can stick a toothpick in the middle to check if the inside is fully cooked, it should come out clean. Let the muffins cool for at least 5 mins, and they will become more firm.
- Meanwhile, whisk all ingredients for tahini sauce in a small bowl.
- Serve egg muffins with tahini sauce or hot sauce. Enjoy!
Notes

This recipe looks great. But I have a question, Do you mean to add cooked or uncooked moong dal to the blender? Thanks in advance
It is uncooked, but soaked (preferably overnight), as noted in the recipe! Hope you love it!
