Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, place the quinoa flakes, whole wheat flour, baking soda and powder, and cacao powder. Mix well.
  2. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, egg, coconut oil, and honey. Give it a good mix.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
  4. Add the dried cranberries and chocolate chips and mix them in. You may garnish the muffins with some chocolate chips and quinoa flakes.
  5. Transfer the batter into the muffin tin and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
