Ingredients
- 1/3 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups tightly packed and cooled cooked quinoa
- ¾ cup melted and cooled butter
- 1 ½ cups coconut sugar I would use less if I was using a different sweeter sweetener
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
Instructions
- Pre-Heat Oven to 350
- Prepare muffin tins
- In a food processor, vitamix, or blender combine milk, eggs, and vanilla. Blend to combine.
- Add quinoa and butter and process until smooth (this will take less than a minute in a Vitamix but considerably longer in a food processor)
- Add coconut sugar, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Blend to combine.
- Pour batter into prepared cupcake pans and bake on the center rack for 15-20 minutes.
- Bake until toothpick comes out clean and centers are firm
- Allow to cool for five minutes before turning out cupcakes onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost as close to serving as possible.
Notes
Makes 48 mini muffins if you scrape the blender carefully, slightly less if you can’t be bothered
