Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
½ cup dried peaches
½ cup apple cider
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (such as Splenda ®)
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup toasted pecans, chopped
¾ cup soy milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.
  • Combine the quinoa and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Chop the dried peaches and place them in a saucepan with the apple cider. Bring the liquid to a boil, remove the pan from the heat, and allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix the milk, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl. Carefully add 2 cups of cooked quinoa to the flour mixture; stir in the warmed peaches and pecans and mix well. Stir in the milk mixture just until combined.
  • Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared pan and bake until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

These muffins were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I love the idea of using quinoa in muffins, but I found that these muffins were a bit too dense for my liking.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my muffins didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. They were still tasty, though.

I was skeptical about using quinoa in muffins, but these turned out great! They were light and fluffy, with a nice crunch from the pecans.
