Guest Post: Peanut Butter Quinoa Oat Muffins

by erika

So…I realize sardines may not top most people’s list of favorite edible items ever. But if your list is missing sardines, cake better be topping the list!

Peanut Butter Quinoa Oat Muffins

Also, muffins. Which is why I’m bringing you some.

Peanut Butter Quinoa Oat Muffins

Muffins of the total yum variety. Wholesome is so in.

I’m so excited to be guest-posting for Chocolate Chip Uru today, so for the recipe and the story behind my 16 or so attempts to make these, hop on over to Go Bake Yourself!

    Hi, I tried this recipe with walnuts and followed the steps exactly. My muffins were hard but it was delicious. Is it supposed to be hard or I don’t know what I did wrong. I even baked it at 425 F and then reduce to 350 and baked for 20 minutes. Please help.

      Hi Shan,

      So sorry to hear your muffins turned out hard! I realized that I forgot to post baking powder as part of the recipe on the guest post–SO sorry about that. It’s now fixed.

      Out of curiosity, I tried baking the muffins without baking powder and although they didn’t rise as much, they weren’t hard as a rock. How hard did your muffins end up?

      Thanks for the feedback!

      Thank you so much Irena!! Your compliments always make me smile considering what a talented photographer YOU are. And spaghetti and Barilla actually sounds fabulous to me right now 🙂

    I just read and commented on Uru’s page and I wanted to make sure to praise you directly on an excellent kitchen experiment. Your muffins look crazy good – so fluffy and moist inside! I’d never have guessed there’s quinoa in there!

      Haha oh Kenley…it’s okay. I went into that sardine post knowing it would probably only be popular with about .002% of the blog reading population. But glad you’re liking the look of these muffins! 🙂

    ummm, yummah!! it sounds like you’ve created a muffin that is healthy and delicious and would use up the leftover quinoa sitting in my fridge. I’m going to head over now for the recipe!!

    • erika

According to Google, interest in apple cider dough According to Google, interest in apple cider doughnuts has waned by now but I’m not exaggerating when I say these doughnuts might be one of the best things I’ve made all year #sponsored

Pictured here are a few recipes I tried to satisfy a craving: @smittenkitchen, @tasty, and a few of @sallysbakeblog’s baked apple cider doughnuts as mini muffins. Sally’s were good but clearly in a different league than the fried doughnuts. I liked the denseness, tang and substantial exterior crunch of @tasty’s doughnuts that came from the sour cream, but once I got the hang of frying @smittenkitchen’s doughnuts, they edged @tasty out as my winner—ethereally light, they just melt in your mouth. Plus, Smitten’s method for rolling out the doughnuts is MUCH MUCH easier. 

I used @whitelily flour in all recipes and loved the way the fine texture led to feather-light doughnuts! If you’re looking for an application for low-protein flour, I can’t recommend these doughnuts enough. They’re worth getting over your fear of deep frying for 😜 #whitelilyflour
