Apple Banana Quinoa Breakfast Muffins

These breakfast muffins are so easy when you are in a hurry and on the go.  I usually eat one of these with my meal replacement shakes in the morning.  These are full of fiber, vitamins and will keep you full all morning.  

Ingredients:

1/2 cup applesauce

1 cup mashed bananas (I used 2 bananas)

1 cup cooked quinoa (about 1/2 cup dry quinoa)

2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats

1/2 cup almond milk

1/4 cup honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon (or 2 or 3 but who EVER uses just 1 tsp of cinnamon)

1 apple, peeled and chopped

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a muffin pan with muffin tins.

Cook the quinoa.  Bring 3/4 cup of water and rinse 1/2 cup of quinoa and add to the water and reduce to a simmer until fluffy (12 minutes)

Mix applesauce, mashed bananas, almond milk, honey, and vanilla in a bowl.

Mix dry ingredients (quinoa, oats, cinnamon) in a separate bowl.  Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.  

Peel, core and chop up the apple.  Mix apple chunks into the bowl. Fill each muffin cups to the top and add a banana slice or apple chunk to the top. 

Bake for 20-25 minutes
