I like this recipe, even my husband who won't eat quinoa in any other form. I make this often, changing up the fruit, the flavoring and adding nuts.

Wow, these were bad. I'm trying to eat healthier, so I've been making a lot of things with quinoa recently. This is the first time I've made something with it that I absolutely didn't like. My biggest complaint is that the raw quinoa flavor comes through loud and clear in the muffins. I was thinking/hoping that the other flavors would mask it. Also, they're very gluey and tough. They didn't really rise at all while baking. It's kind of like trying to eat a bad tasting hockey puck.

I loved this muffin so much but I made a few changes and it came out perfectly . I modified the oil (2tbsp oil plus 2 tbsp appplesauce ) .Flour (I used 1 1/2c brown rice flour ,1/4 c almond flour and 1/4 c cocnut flour ).Sugar (substituted 6 tbsp brown sugar splenda) ,Milk (almond milk ).Thats it and I also added 1/4 cup water because of the substitution with flours it was a little more dense .However ,after I added a little water it was a nice thick batter that baked beautifully .So yummy :)

These muffins were great, I did as another member did and substituted all purpose gluten free flour for the white flour and apple sauce for the oil. I was worried because my batter was much more liquid-y then the one on the show (I had to ladle it out) but it worked great. I really liked these muffins! The only thing is that they were a bit too sweet for my tastes, to make them even better for you, cut down the amount of brown sugar called for or substitute some honey. Lovely!

These were great! I used gluten free all purpose flour and swapped applesauce for oil to cut down on calories. I also crumbled some pecans and added honey. Next time I'll try it with peanut butter too- great idea!

I changed flour to brown rice flour, used all of the quinoa and cut up dried peaches, pears and dates in stead of raisins. replace milk with almond milk, good healthy breakfast

I am so excited to see this recipe with quinoa. I am a big fan of the protein. I would however like to use a healthier flour, so maybe some spelt flour, or oat flour or something that can work well with this.

Martha Stewart Member

I added 1/4 C each of dried apricots, apples and prunes to the water when I cooked the Quinoa and cut them all up really small. This added a bit more natural sweetness and moisture to the recipe.

I wonder what the calorie count is fir these muffins?

This were a huge hit at home and at work! I switched out the raisins for dried cranberries and added a same amount of dark chocolate chips - these are definitely a keeper recipe!

Vegan and Gluten-Free Version: 1 banana instead of an egg soy milk instead of whole milk applesauce instead of oil, Plus 1/2 tsp each of nutmeg and cinnamon plus a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice to dry mixture. They didn't rise at all, but they are delicious!

Martha Stewart Member

Make a peanut butter version...just substitute 3/4 cup peanut butter instead of dried fruit and add a little more milk to batter...extra protein punch!! Also, can reduce salt and no vanilla, so cuts down on ingredients too!

I've made this recipe three times already. Today I made it vegan style with a few other adjustments: 1 banana instead of an egg, soy milk instead of whole milk, I added 2 tbs honey to liquid mixture, and 1/2 tsp each of cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon to dry mixture. Delicious!

To Viollettt (sp?) I found quinoa at Trader Joe's. Hope there is one near you!

These muffins are great, and extremely easy to make, in addition to being high-protein. There were lots of good suggestions for different things to add to change the flavor slightly, and someone even posted a link to a calculator that figures out the calorie count for recipes. Great recipe, great posts!

These came out great! But I'm partial to brown sugar anyway. I used currents instead of raisins too. This recipe is another great way to incorporate quinoa into our diet.

I made these recently with whole wheat flour and added cinnamon. These muffins were very tasty, but I believe I overworked the batter which made the muffins come out too chewy. I'll try adding dried cherries, dark chocolate and walnuts into another attempt at this recipe and not overwork the batter. They are very satisfying and they kept me satiated for longer than regular muffins do.

Martha Stewart Member

I would just bake them all and afterwards freeze them. This is what I do at my home too. I usually make batches and have 1 for breakfast. The night before I just pop it in the fridge and your ready to go.!

Martha Stewart Member

07/30/2008

Is it possible to refrigerate the batter and bake a few at a time? How long would the batter last if I did this? Do I need to add any liquid before making subsequent batches? (I 'm alone so eating 12 is hard!)

Martha Stewart Member

My 11/2 yr. old LOVES my modified version. 3/4c. quinoa, 1/4c. flax. No oil:replace with applesauce. Bc ap. sauce is used only 1/2c. dark sugar. and no need for white flour. 1c. whole wheat flour, 1/2c. wheat germ, and 1/2c. wheat bran. I bake for 35-40 min. Results are fab. I get requests! Please experiment.

These are very simple tasting but good anyway. I added freshly ground nutmeg and think I could have added more. Raisins are okay but might try something else next time. Fluffy with a crunchy top.

My first time using quinoa in baking--and it IS GREAT! These muffins have great texture, but next time I will add fresh grated nutmeg or other spice to make them even better!

Martha Stewart Member

04/14/2008

These are great! Since raisins are not very popular in my house, I made a few changes to the recipe. MY KIDS LOVED THEM!!!! I have a ten year old and fourteen year old and they could not get enough of these. Nor could my husband. I changed the cooking liquid to a mix of 60% apple juice and 40%water and substituted dried apples for the rasins. To keep tabs on portion size I make them in the mini muffin pans.

Each time I make these muffins I bring a few into the office with me, and they have been a big hit every time - even with my co-workers who usually walk in with a breakfast from McDonald's! They are miracle muffins - healthy, tasty, and easy!

Try Whole Foods or any other natural market in your area. Also try the Natural/Organic section of your supermarket. Ask the manager -- you may not be the only one looking, so they may bring it in. Health food stores are another possible source. If all else fails, try online. It's worth it -- quinoa's great!

My son and I made these for a cub scout snack and 8 out of 10 kids liked them....I noticed when I got home that I had forgot to add the baking powder. My daughter also liked them. I did sub. milk chocolate chips for the raisins.

I went out and bought some Quinoa for the first time just to try this recipe and I loved it. Great way to add some fiber to the diet as well. The texture as the recipe above is written, is moist and delicious. Tastes a bit like a bran muffin, but with the lovely nuttier taste of the quinoa itself. I look forward to trying some of the variations mentioned below plus a few of my own.

Martha Stewart Member

I tried them with plain kefir instead of the milk, and whole wheat flour. Moist and delicious! I add chopped walnuts, and dried apricots, and almonds for more nutrition.

My 4- year old grandson is on a gluten-free, milk-free diet so I've tried diasterous recipes found online using rice, millet, bean flour. Quinoa is gluten-free and I've had great results-texture is great! Substituting rice milk has worked also.

Martha Stewart Member

This may sound crazy for a healthy recipe, but I used chocolate chips instead of raisins (I'm trying to get a three-year-old to eat more fibre). The warm cooked quinoa melted the dark chips and results were subtle, but delicious. Overall, this is a great recipe and a great way to get a little kid to eat quinoa.

I made these muffins for the first time and they were EXCELLENT! I used a mix of dried berries and raisins instead of only raisins and also made a batch without any fruit for my mother since she doesn't like dried fruits.

Martha Stewart Member

01/23/2008

Very good. I used half all purpose flour, half whole wheat.

I love these muffins! My aunt made them and used dates instead of raisins. She cannot make them fast enough! What a great introduction to quinoa. I just bought some and am excited to start cooking with this wonderful grain.

Martha Stewart Member

Baking rarely fits all those criteria at once. But one can alter this recipe a bit to suit those requirements: You'd want to replace the white flour with whole wheat flour for starters, then skip the sugar and use Splenda or even agave nectar (also low glycemic) Quinoa has a lot of protein to begin with, but if you lose the raisins and instead use nuts, you'll get more protein and good fats to keep you full through to lunch. Oh yes, and 2 egg whites, no yolk. I'm going to try it this way,

This recipe is in the Everyday Foods magazine. The magazine has the nutritional content for it's recipes.

I added a 1/4 cup of chopped, dried cranberries and a teaspoon of orange zest. It makes for a nice melange of flavours, I would probably cut back on the sugar for the next batch. The dried fruit gives a nice sweetness.

The Muffins are excellent, though fairly sweet. The muffins do stick to the muffin papers, but it is not that bad.

Please include nutritional info for recipe. Weight Watchers is all about points and we can't eat/cook what we can't calculate. Thanks!

Martha Stewart Member

01/11/2008

I would be iffy about that, but if you do, omit the baking powder bc it's already in your flour. And muffin papers would probably stick to the actual muffin when you try to peel them off because these have such little fat. good luck!!

Yes I would also like complete nutrition information on this recipe including grams of fiber, sugar and protein. With this amount of sugar, it would need a lot of protein and fiber to make up for it and make it an acceptable glycemic load for breakfast.

How many calories per serving of the Quinoa muffins?

Martha Stewart Member

My daughter is diabetic. This would be a great high protein breakfast for her, but do you have the nutrition information? Especially the carbohydrate count.

Can self rising flower be used. Can muffin papers be used?
