Banana Peanut Butter Quinoa Muffins Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY MINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin and set aside.
• In a small bowl, beat together egg, banana, peanut butter, milk, and syrup.
• Add the dry ingredients directly into the bowl with the wet and stir to thoroughly combine.
• Fill each cup 3/4 of the way full. Add 1/8 teaspoon strawberry jam and 1/8 teaspoon creamy peanut butter into the center of the muffins. Swirl it around with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining muffins.
• Bake on the center rack for 12- 14 minutes until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Cool in the pan for 2 - 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Resist the urge to not break into them; cooling them will allow everything to set properly. If desired, reheat in the toaster oven or in the microwave.

SKINNY QUINOA MUFFINS: 3 WAYS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, quinoa flakes, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• Beat together the wet ingredients in a separate mixing bowl. Add to the dry and mix to combine. The consistency should be that of a runny oatmeal. Let the batter stand while you preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. If by the time the oven is ready the batter seems too thick (you should be able to still stir it easily) add more milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Just before baking, folding in your desired add-ins.
• Spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray and fill the wells 2/3 of the way full. Bake on the center rack for 12 - 14 minutes until muffins are starting to brown and no longer soft to the touch.
• Remove and let cool in the pan for 3 - 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

In another bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with the 3 remaining tablespoons of water. Whisk together and let it rest for 5 minutes. The flax and water mixture will become gooey.

Mix until all the ingredients are just combined.
• Spoon out half of the batter into a muffin tin. Use muffin cups if you're pan is prone to sticking. Peel the bananas and cut into 1-inch pieces. Place one piece of banana in the center of each muffin then cover with the rest of the batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top for extra flavor (optional).
• Tip 1: You can find granulated maple sugar at the health food store. If you can't find it, try another substitute such as coconut nectar or just regular brown sugar.
