Ingr

edients:

• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries), fresh or frozen

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Gently fold in the mixed berries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these delicious Very Berry Quinoa Muffins!

I hope you all enjoy making and indulging in these muffins as much as I did. They're a perfect blend of sweetness and wholesomeness, and they make for a fantastic snack any time of the day. Happy baking!
