Ingredients

To make these muffins, you'll need:

• 1 cup Water
• 1 1/2 cup Spelt Flour
• 1/2 cup Flour
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
• 1 cup Peanut Butter
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 Egg
• 3 Bananas
• 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Rinse the quinoa in a fine strainer until the water runs clear.

Line a muffin pan with paper cupcake liners.

In a saucepan, bring the quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cooked quinoa.

Using your stand mixer or by hand, combine the oil, peanut butter, milk, egg, bananas, and vanilla on medium speed. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture on low speed. Mix until just combined; don't overmix. Stop as soon as everything is moist.

Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Try not to eat them all at once…or go ahead and splurge a bit!
