Quinoa Blueberry Muffins
I stumbled upon this recipe on Pintrest and I decided to tweek it a little bit and make it my own! They are super healthy and yummy with so many ways to make them your own!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Quinoa Flour
1 cup Cooked Quinoa
3/4 cup Lightly Packed Brown Sugar
2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 Egg
2/3 cup Milk
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
1 heaping cup Blueberries
**Quinoa flour can be a little pricey to buy in the store, $11 when I looked at Sprouts, so I grounded up uncooked quinoa in my Magic Bullet and made a flour with it. Much more cost effective.
**You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, I used fresh...
**I added the cinnamon, you can take it out it you prefer not to have it!
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 12 muffin tin and set to the side.
Whisk together the whole wheat flour, quinoa flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda in a large bowl and then stir in the cooked quinoa.
In a separate bowl, combine the oil, milk, and egg and then stir into the dry ingredients.
Fold the blueberries into the batter. You can judge how little or how many you want for the additional flavor.
Scoop into each muffin tin 1/2-3/4 way full depending on how big you would like them to be. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Before
After
They have a pretty pungent quinoa flavor at first, but after you let them rest they absorb more of the blueberry flavor and the cinnamon flavor really comes through.
Enjoy!!
