Starbucks Egg White Bites Recipe In Oven
This Copycat Starbucks Egg White Bites Recipe is made with just a few, healthy ingredients and in the oven! They come out light, fluffy and absolutely delicious.
Are they really better than Starbucks?! In my humble opinion, YES.
I love the use of ricotta cheese in my recipe compared to the cottage cheese. I find it more delicious while still creamy.
The other reason why I think these are better is because the ingredients are simple and clean! There are no added preservatives or unnecessary ingredients.
You can feel good about what you’re putting in your body while also having the perfect on-the-go breakfast at your finger tips!
Ingredient Notes
- Ricotta – my favorite part of this recipe because it makes the texture so smooth and creamy.
- Liquid Egg Whites – these are key to making this recipe! however, you can use regular eggs, either the whole or separating to use only the egg whites. see the FAQ sections for conversions.
- Bell Pepper – i switch between using orange, red or yellow bell peppers but you could also use green if you prefer. i add them in raw but you can roast prior to bring out a sweeter flavor.
- Salt and Pepper – the only seasonings you need! however, if you would like, you can also add some garlic and onion powder.
How is this recipe different from Starbucks Egg White Bites?
If you haven’t tried Starbucks Egg Bites, you should because they are delicious! However, I think this recipe is WAY better.
This recipe uses few ingredients whereas the Starbucks Egg Bites have a ton (most are also unnecessary)! With just a few ingredients, you can have breakfast ready for you every day throughout the week.
Starbuck’s recipe uses cottage cheese and my recipe uses ricotta cheese. While this isn’t a huge difference, I find the flavor to be even more delicious while still having a fluffy texture!

These are perfect! They’re super easy to make and full of flavor!
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you enjoyed.
Perfect for using up leftover ricotta and faster than driving to Starbucks and waiting on line.
Great recipe! So easy to tailor to what you have on hand.. subbed Greek yogurt for the ricotta, used spinach, bell peppers, feta, chives, s&p, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a sprinkle of parm on the top! Superb!
Thanks for sharing this great recipe! They are very tasty. I subbed cottage cheese and spinach since I had them on had. Not too sure if I under cooked them but they were very watery, maybe due to my substitutions. These will be my breakfast go to now, thank you!
Most likely to the cottage cheese swap but that’s great for a high protein option!
Wow, I love this recipe. It’s so easy and quick to make. This is definitely the healthier version for eating your eggs.
Love these.
I used spinach instead of kale. They were a little moist maybe from the fresh pepper. Definitely a great addition to increase healthy protein for breakfast or snack on the go!
I used to buy these at Starbucks and Costco. Found your recipe online and I have been making them ever since. They are delicious! I have tried mushrooms and spinach in them, but I keep going back to red and green peppers. A perfect breakfast and it’s healthy as well.
I am so happy you love them!
excellent took a little longer to cook possibly because I used a silicone muffin tray. I used Spinach instead of kale was really good save me some $$$ making my own thanks!
