Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
In a medium frying pan, cook the sugar-free bacon over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble into small pieces.
In the same pan, add the spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add the crumbled bacon and sautéed spinach to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
