Ingredients
  

6 large egg whites

1 ripe avocado, thoroughly mashed

1/2 cup diced bell pepper (choose red or yellow for sweetness)

1/4 cup shredded cheese (select either cheddar or mozzarella for a creamy finish)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the muffin tin)

Optional toppings: chopped fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley), diced tomatoes, or sliced jalapeños for extra flavor

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating, use a paper towel or pastry brush to lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil. This step ensures easy removal of the muffin rounds after baking.

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thoroughly mashed avocado, diced bell pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork to mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      In a separate larger bowl, use a whisk to beat the egg whites until they are frothy. They should be airy yet still pourable—not overly stiff.

        Gently fold the frothy egg whites into the avocado mixture using a rubber spatula. Be careful to maintain the airiness of the egg whites to ensure light and fluffy muffin rounds; mix until just combined.

          Carefully spoon the combined mixture into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. This allows room for rising during baking.

            Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the top of each filled muffin cavity for added flavor and to achieve a lovely golden crust.

              Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes. The muffins should be set in the center and have a lightly golden appearance on top.

                Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully lift each muffin round out of the tin using a fork or spatula.

                  Enhance the flavor with optional toppings prior to serving. Fresh herbs, diced tomatoes, or sliced jalapeños can add an exciting twist and visual appeal.

                    These muffin rounds can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making them a versatile choice for a healthy breakfast, snack, or delightful appetizer.
