Ingredients
- Cooked quinoa
- Cocoa powder
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Eggs
- Milk
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: cooked quinoa, eggs, and milk. Stir until the quinoa is evenly distributed and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the muffins for extra decoration.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy your Sweetfridays Easiest Quinoa Chocolate Muffins!
