- Number of Servings: 24
Ingredients
3 cups (tightly packed) Cooked (and cooled) Quinoa6 Egg Whites1/4 cup All Natural Honey1 tsp Baking PowderPinch of Salt1/4 cup Coconut flakes (unsweetened)1/4 cup Sliced Almonds2 cups Frozen Berries (I prefer the Radar Farm mix from Costco)
Serving Size:�makes 24 large muffins
Heat over to 350 degrees.
Line muffin trays with paper cups.
In a large bowl combine your fully cooled quinoa (refrigerated is even better) with egg whites and honey. Mix until fully blended. It will start to look more like a typical muffin batter quite quickly. Add the baking powder and a pinch of salt and again mix thoroughly. Then throw in your favourite bulk foods -I used coconut flakes and sliced almonds but anything would work - and once fully mixed add two cups of frozen berries. Fold the berries in and let the mixture sit for about five minutes - it will be a little frothy from the egg whites so this rest time is important.
Use a large spoon to scoop the batter into the muffin cups. I filled mine up to the top and pressed the mix in quite firmly (they will not expand). Toss into the oven and don't forget to set the timer. Check at 30 minute mark - most likely they will need closer to 40 minutes depending on your add-ins and oven temperature.
Let cool and enjoy!
