Quinoa Trail Mix Muffins
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 C quinoa, rinsed and boiled in 1 1/4 C water for 12 minutes- you want the quinoa to be almost cooked, but not super soft and mushy
- 1 C almond meal (ground oats would work well, too)
- 1/4 C maple sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1/2 C almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 egg
- 1 t vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 t cinnamon
- 1/4–1/2 C chocolate chips (I think we all know which end of the spectrum I chose)
- 1/4 C dried fruit
- optional: 1/4 C nuts/seeds of choice – hemp seeds would be amazing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 and spray a standard muffin pan with the mist or olive oil spray.
- Mix the ingredients in a large bowl.
- Scoop to mixture to fill 7 muffin tins all the way to the top- these won’t be rising.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- The hard part: let them cool completely in the muffin tins before removing. If, like me, patience is not your virtue: scoop one out warm, top with a slice of butter and enjoy with a fork.
