Okonomiyaki Egg Bites (No-Flour)

Okonomiyaki has always been one of my favorite snacks, and it’s actually one of the foods that first got me into cooking. I used to come home after school and experiment with different versions, which is where I first started learning my way around the kitchen.

I love using muffin pans to make easy, grab-and-go bites that also work well for meal prep, which is what inspired these okonomiyaki-style egg bites.

They’re much easier than traditional okonomiyaki, which can be tricky to flip if the batter isn’t just right. Baking them in a muffin pan also means you don’t need any flour, and they still come out soft, savory, and really satisfying.

If you enjoy Japanese flavors or are looking for a simple, protein-packed recipe, these are such a fun and easy option.

Tips

• Don’t overfill — about 80% full prevents overflow.
