Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh peaches, you can use frozen or canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Use a food processor or blender to chop the pecans. This will help to distribute them evenly throughout the muffins.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These quinoa muffins with peaches and pecans are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are packed with protein, fiber, and antioxidants, and they are also gluten-free. The muffins are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different fruits, nuts, or spices to create your own unique flavor combinations.
