Blueberry Quinoa Protein Muffins
- 1/3 cups Quinoa
- 2/3 cups Light Coconut Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
- 3 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1/4 cups Dates, Diced
- 1/2 cups Vanilla Plant Protein Powder
- 1/2 cups Fresh Blueberries
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F and line a muffin tin with liners.
- Combine uncooked quinoa and coconut milk in a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn heat to low and cover the pot. Cook until milk is absorbed, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt coconut oil and honey in the microwave until smooth and liquid.
- Add eggs and beat well. Add vanilla extract and pinch of salt. Mix until well-combined. Add cooled quinoa and stir until well mixed.
- Place diced dates in a small bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon protein powder and mix around. This will coat the dates, so they don't stick together and all clump together in one muffin.
- Add remaining protein powder, dates and blueberries into the quinoa mixture. Mix well.
- Divide mixture between 7 muffin cavities filling almost full. Bake until top is golden brown, puffed up and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and dry, about 17-20 minutes. Let cool in the pan completely. Devour.
