Quinoa Applesauce Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, bring quinoa and 1 cup water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cover, and cook until water has been absorbed and quinoa is tender, 11 to 13 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush a standard 12-cup muffin pan with oil; dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, raisins, and 2 cups cooked quinoa; reserve any leftover quinoa for another use.
• In a small bowl, whisk together oil, milk, egg, and vanilla. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, and stir just until combined; divide batter among prepared muffin cups.
• Bake until toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool muffins in pan, 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in applesauce. Combine flour, baking soda and spices; stir into creamed mixture. If desired, fold in nuts. , Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

• Blend the baking soda, baking powder, salt, cloves and cinnamon with the quinoa flour.
• Separately mix together butter, sugar and egg.
• Combine all ingredients, adding the floured fruit at the end.
• Spoon into an oiled muffin tin and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until slightly spongy to the touch.

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and remaining 3/4 cup/150 grams sugar until light and foamy.
• Add the applesauce, oil, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, and whisk to combine.
• Add the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda to the bowl. Fold until a few streaks of flour remain, then add two-thirds of the walnuts and all of the chopped apple, if using. Fold until well combined and no streaks of flour remain.
• Divide the mixture among the 12 liners; they will be almost full to the top. Sprinkle with the remaining one-third of the walnuts and reserved cinnamon sugar.
• Bake until muffin tops are puffed and golden, and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 22 minutes. Let cool slightly before removing from the pan. These are best the day they are made, but will last a day or two on the counter in an airtight container. Alternatively, let the muffins cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and freeze.
