Quinoa: Ginger-Pecan Muffins
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
- 2 cups reduced-fat Bisquick
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup fat-free milk
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
- Cooking spray
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
- Rinse quinoa (to remove any bitterness). Combine 1 cup water and quinoa in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; fluff with a fork, and set aside.
- Combine Bisquick and next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a bowl; make a well in center of mixture. Combine milk, molasses, and egg in a separate bowl, stirring well. Add milk mixture, quinoa, and apricots to dry ingredients; stir just until moist.
- Spoon batter into two 12-cup muffin pans coated with cooking spray (leave two cups empty in each pan), filling cups half full. Bake at 400u0b0 for 12 minutes. Remove from pans immediately; cool.
