How to Make Quinoa Muffins
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the tin.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 11-13 minutes, or until all water is absorbed and quinoa is tender.
- While quinoa cooks, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup raisins in a large bowl.
- Once quinoa is cooked, stir in 2 cups of the cooked quinoa into the dry ingredients. Set aside any remaining cooked quinoa.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
