Quinoa Blueberry Lemon Coconut Walnut Chia Muffins
(Clean and Paleo)
Ingredients
- 2c. Cooked Quinoa
- 6T (42g) Coconut Flour
- 3T (30g) Chia Seeds
- 9T (45g) Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 4.5 scoops (175g) Vanilla whey (I use Cytosport)
- 1/2c (56g) Walnuts - chopped
- 3/4c (140g) Blueberries (Fresh or Frozen)
- 1tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2c. Lemon Juice
- 1/2c Unsweetened Almond Milk (I use Almond Breeze)
- 1/2c. Unsweetened Applesauce (I used Mixed Berry Flavor)
Instructions
In a large bowl add: Quinoa, flour, chia seeds, shredded coconut, whey, baking powder and baking soda. Mix well
Add almond milk, applesauce and lemon juice to dry ingredients. Mix well
Add chopped walnuts and blueberries. Mix well
Pour mixture into a greased muffin pan - I use a silicon muffin pan - they pop out without any sticking! :)
Bake at 325 for about 40 minutes. Check after 30 minutes - they should be spongy in the middle.
They freeze great! I put 1/2 the recipe in the fridge and freeze the other 1/2.
Enjoy!
