Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
½ cup dried peaches
½ cup apple cider
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (such as Splenda ®)
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup toasted pecans, chopped
¾ cup soy milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.
  • Combine the quinoa and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Chop the dried peaches and place them in a saucepan with the apple cider. Bring the liquid to a boil, remove the pan from the heat, and allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix the milk, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl. Carefully add 2 cups of cooked quinoa to the flour mixture; stir in the warmed peaches and pecans and mix well. Stir in the milk mixture just until combined.
  • Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared pan and bake until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the pecans from this recipe. The muffins were still delicious!

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover peaches. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional muffins.

I'm not a huge fan of muffins, but these were actually really good! The peaches and pecans added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think they would be great with a cup of coffee or tea.

These muffins were a disappointment. They were dry and bland, and the peaches and pecans were barely noticeable. I would not recommend this recipe.

I love these muffins! They are so moist and fluffy, and the peaches and pecans add a nice sweetness and crunch. I also appreciate that they are made with quinoa, which makes them a healthier option.

These muffins were just okay. I found them to be a bit dry and the flavor was not very memorable. I probably won't be making them again.

These muffins were a hit with my family! The combination of peaches, pecans, and quinoa made for a unique and delicious flavor. They were also surprisingly moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.
