How-to: Best Quinoa Muffins

Posted March 28, 2007, by amelia

This really is a recipe! This is our fave muffin recipe. Sugar-free, wheat-free, gluten-free...and yummy! And popular at pot-lucks!

Ingredients:

dry ingredients:

1 cup quinoa flakes (from health food store)

1 cup flour: 1 cup quinoa (moist, but strong quinoa taste) or 1/2 cup quinoa flour and 1/2 cup brown rice flour (pleasant flavour, not as moist) or 1/3 cup quinoa, 1/3 cup rice, 1/3 cup garflava or garbonzo flour (moist, good if you tolerate legumes).

1 tbs tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

Wet ingredients:

3 ripe bananas, mashed

3 egg yolks or 2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 tbs cranberry juice or apple cider (can be omitted)

½ cup safflower oil or coconut oil

Berries and fruit:

1 cup blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or cranberries or combination (frozen or fresh)

5 fresh dates chopped fine (don’t use dried dates) or substitute ½ cup raisins

optional: zest of one organic orange (only use organic as conventional organge rinds have carcinogenic dyes and high pesticide residues).

Steps:

Preheat oven. Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry.  Add berries, dates, zest.

bake: 400 degrees for 25 minutes.

makes 12 muffins.

ENJOY!

Hint: use stainless steel or cast iron muffin tins.

yummy! I am eatig a muffin hot out of the oven at this very moment...mmmmmm! The smell is intoxicating. Splash of blue berry and cranberry. Mmmmm!

This recipe does not have a strong quinoa flavor, unless you use all quinoa flour. One of the tastiest of the gluten-free muffins. Plus it is much more moist than most gluten-free muffins.

While I haven't tried this particular recipe (but ones very similar to it), anything that I've ever baked with quinoa flour we ended up chucking in the garbage because none of my family, including myself, liked the taste. However, this recipe looks like a very healthy one for those who like the taste of quinoa flour. (Our family likes the taste of whole grain cooked quinoa with tomatoes, cilantro, parsley, olive oil and lemon).
