Apple Quinoa Muffins with Cinnamon Butter- Delicious and healthy apple muffins made with quinoa flakes and spiced with cinnamon and served with delicious cinnamon butter! With a glass of milk, it sounds like a perfect breakfast for fall! Isn’t??
These muffins are so easy to whip up and it bakes to perfection every single time! I’ve used Suncore Foods Quinoa Flakes in this recipe. I highly recommend using them! You can add more chopped apples if you like. And adding some chopped walnuts or pecans makes the muffin even better! Make sure you make at least two batches of batter cause these muffins are highly addictive and it vanishes very soon. These muffins freeze very well. So if you have any extras just cling wrap them and pop them in the freezer. You can defrost them in the microwave for 30sec to 1 min whenever you want!
