Quinoa Muffins

These yummy muffins are packed with all the protein and nutrients of quinoa, they are vegan, wheat and gluten free and have no sugar!  A great breakfast or school snack.

What you need:

2 cups cooked quinoa

3 tbs ground chia or flax seeds soaked in about 1/2 cup of water (or 3 eggs)

1tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp cinnamon 

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup liquid ( I used pineapple juice, could use apple juice, orange juice or milk)

1/4 cup maple syrup

3/4 cup fruit ( I used frozen raspberries and dried cranberries, apples, raisens or blueberries would work too).  

Preheat oven to 350.  Combine all ingredients except fruit in a food processor.  Blend until combined but you can still see some whole bits of quinoa.  Stir in fruit.  Pour into prepared muffin cups and bake 30-40 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!
