During my free 30-Day PCOS Diet Challenge, you’ll notice that most of the recipes in the meal plans prompt you to make enough for leftovers the next day. If you’re one of the people who struggle to eat the same meal multiple days in a row but would like to find ways to reduce food waste, perhaps this recipe might do the trick. You can even try adding some herbs or spices to each individual muffin to keep things interesting!
This easy PCOS recipe offers another arrow in your quiver for repurposing dinner leftovers into a delicious lunch, snack or even breakfast on-the-go. You can pretty much pile any combination into these egg muffins, but it’s preferable if you can use a mix of both starchy and non-starchy vegetables to promote better gut health.
Here’s everything you’ll need to make these PCOS-Friendly Egg Muffins:
- Eggs
- Leftover cooked meat
- Leftover vegetables
- Coconut flour
- Salt
- Pepper
I’ll usually whip up a batch of these muffins on the weekend before I do my weekly grocery shop. It clears out the fridge of any leftovers before I stock it back up, and I have my lunch ready to go for the week.
Enjoy!

Grab ‘n’ Go Egg Muffins (PCOS-Friendly)
This easy PCOS recipe offers another arrow in your quiver for repurposing dinner leftovers into a delicious lunch, snack or even breakfast on-the-go.
Ingredients
Protein
- 8 Eggs
- 1 cup Leftover cooked meat
Pantry
- 1 1/2 tbsp Coconut flour
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
Vegetables
- 1 cup Leftover vegetables
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Divide your leftovers evenly between each cup. About 2-3 tablespoons per cup should do it.
- Whisk up your eggs, coconut flour, and salt, making sure there are no lumps.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into each cup. Leave about ¼” (6 mm) of space from the top to allow room for the muffin to rise in the oven. Crack some pepper on top.
- Bake the muffins for 20 minutes. You can check that they’re done by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean.
- Let them cool for about 5 minutes in the muffin tin before removing them onto a wire rack.
- Keep refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3-4 days, or store in the freezer for up to 4 months.
