- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they're soft and any liquid has evaporated, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, around 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the 4 eggs and 3/4 cup of egg whites until well combined.
- Add 1 ounce of coconut flour to the egg mixture, whisking until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Fold the sautéed vegetables, chopped prosciutto, and halved cherry tomatoes into the egg mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Prosciutto paleo breakfast muffins FAQ:
Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Store the muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven or microwave.
If you need a substitute for prosciutto, you can use cooked bacon or turkey bacon for a similar savory flavor, keeping in mind it may change the overall dish's profile slightly.
The muffins are done when they are firm to the touch and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. If there is wet batter on the toothpick, continue baking for a few more minutes.
Coconut flour has unique absorbing properties; therefore, if substituting with another flour, such as almond flour, you'll need to adjust the amount used, starting with a ratio of about 1/4 to 1/3 of the coconut flour called for.
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.
- Chop all the vegetables and prosciutto into similar-sized pieces for even distribution in the muffins.
- Use silicone muffin cups or grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
- Don’t overfill the muffin cups; leave a little room as the muffins will rise during baking.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
