Chocolate Chip Quinoa Muffins Recipes

SKINNY BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP QUINOA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed banana, flaxseed meal, water, honey, vanilla and 3 tablespoons almond milk. Beat until smooth. Set aside and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Once rested, add in flours, baking powder, salt and cinnamon to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix until just incorporated. If batter feels dry, add more almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the batter resembles a thick pancake batter. Fold in chocolate chips.
• Spoon muffin mixture into prepared pan, filling each cup 3/4 of the way full.
• Bake on center rack fro 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
• Let cool in the pan for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
• I enjoyed these muffins slightly warm, so reheat if desired, or enjoy them as is!

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.
• Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE QUINOA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl or stand mixer (or a blender or food processor), put in all the ingredients and mix until well combined.
• Pour into muffin tins just over ½ full. Mist your muffin tin with oil, or line with silicone liners or foil liners to prevent sticking.
• Bake for 15-16 minutes until you press them and they spring back. The toothpick test doesn't work well on these as a bit of crumb will stick to the toothpick as they are so rich and moist.

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment paper.
• Mix flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
• Beat butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat 1 egg into butter mixture. Beat second egg into mixture along with the vanilla extract; add flour mixture and stir until it just forms a batter. Fold chocolate chips, quinoa flakes, oat bran, and cream through the batter to distribute throughout.
• Roll dough into small balls and arrange on prepared baking sheet with at least 2 inches between balls.
• Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Let cookies cool on pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
