How to Make Quinoa Applesauce Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a small bowl, gently toss 1 cup of chopped apricots with 2 tablespoons of hazelnut flour. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Add 1 1/2 cups quinoa flour and whisk until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 3) to the wet ingredients (from step 4), mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup Santa Cruz apple apricot sauce and the floured apricots (from step 2).
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
