It’s beginning to look a lot like Grinchmas at my house! I don’t know about you, but I LOVE the How the Grinch Stole Christmas! These Grinch Egg Muffins go perfectly with the story, and your kids will love assembling them. Mom will also love that they are filled with healthy ingredients to ensure a healthy breakfast. Spinach makes the perfect food coloring! Wouldn’t you agree? I made a different version of these for Dr. Seuss Day, Green Eggs and Ham Mini Egg Muffins. These are a larger muffin so it’s easier to make a “grinchy” face.
