Ingredients List
- 1 1/3 c quinoa flour (whole wheat or all purpose is fine if you don”™t have access to quinoa flour)
- 1 t baking powder
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/2 c firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 T melted butter
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 2 medium overripe bananas, mashed
- 1 c cooked quinoa
- 1 c finely chopped fresh strawberries
- 1-2 strawberries, thinly sliced (optional for garnish)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Prepare a muffin or cupcake tin with cooking spray or muffin liners. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt, and set aside. In a separate, larger bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, eggs & vanilla and whisk until smooth. Mix in the dry flour mixture a couple tablespoons at a time, stirring together until completely incorporated.
2. When all the flour has been mixed in, add the mashed bananas and the quinoa, and mix well. Add the chopped strawberries (juice & all!) and fold into the muffin batter. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Place one strawberry slice on top of each muffin, and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
3. Remove from oven and cool for a couple of minutes before removing muffins from pan. Cool on a rack for about 10 minutes, or until ready to serve. Serve for brunch or take some with you to for a quick weekday breakfast, and enjoy!
