Chocolate Quinoa Muffins

Cacao and quinoa have been used in combination since Aztec times, and I find this delicious recipe an easy way to incorporate the ancient superfoods into snack time treats.



Why not bake these healthy chocolate muffins to pack in the school lunch box or as an afternoon tea surprise? For this recipe, I have used cacao powder, blueberries and some cooked quinoa to add some protein. Cook the quinoa seeds exactly as you would cook rice - it will add the slightest nutty flavor, and a bit of interesting texture to your next batch of muffins.

Ingredients:
2 cups plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup raw sugar
3 tablespoons cacao powder
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
100 grams butter
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup blueberries or raspberries (optional)
