Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard-sized muffin tin with olive oil or use a muffin liner.
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully beaten.
Add the low-fat milk, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Whisk together until well combined.
Chop the cherry tomatoes into halves and tear the spinach leaves into smaller pieces if they're large.
Gently stir the chopped cherry tomatoes, spinach, and fresh basil leaves into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg and vegetable mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin, filling about three-quarters of the way to allow space for rising.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the muffins are fully set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool slightly before gently removing them with a knife or spatula.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 days for a grab-and-go meal.
