Description

191 calories, 4.3 grams of protein, plus a healthy dose of calcium, vitamins A, B-6 and C make these a breakfast of champions.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ cups Cooked Quinoa
  • ⅓ cups Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ cups Fat Free Sour Cream
  • ¼ cups Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Raw Honey
  • 1 whole Large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¾ cups Carrots, Peeled And Finely Grated
  • ¼ cups Rasins
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Walnuts

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, quinoa, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking powder. Make a well in the ingredients.

In another bowl, combine the sour cream, applesauce, honey, egg and vanilla until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the well you made in the dry ingredients. Stir until just barely combined; a few lumps is fine. If you overmix, your muffins will be tough.

Add the carrots, raisins and walnuts and stir until just combined.

Grease 6 wells of a muffin tin (or line with muffin papers). Pour evenly into the 6 wells, about 2/3 full.

Bake at 350ºF for 18-22 minutes or until the top springs back when touched.

These are PERFECT for my family! I may end-up completely puree’ing the veggies, as my son isn’t a fan of seeing them when he eats them. :D
