QUINOA MUFFIN RECIPE
I recently made Healthy Blueberry Muffins with Quinoa and Healthy Chocolate Muffins with Quinoa, and today I am posting another fabulously easy and healthy muffin recipe with quinoa.
These zingy quinoa breakfast muffins are low in sugar and fat and are packed full of goodness. Thanks to the addition of the quinoa and ground almonds they have a nice, light and fluffy texture (plus added protein!). Enjoy them for breakfast, as a snack, or pop them in your child’s lunchbox.
You won’t need to use an electric mixer, a whisk will do, so preparation is quick and simple.
Remember also that quinoa can be cooked ahead and, once cooled, kept refrigerated until you are ready to use it!
Enjoy!
As always, I appreciate all feedback so leave a quick comment before you go! If you make this healthy muffin recipe I’d love to know how it turned out!
