    Quinoa Orange Muffins

    Whenever I’m looking for a really quick bake, muffins always come through for me. Like these Quinoa Orange Muffins! Easy, simple, moist, healthy with a good dose of chocolate thrown in. You really can't say no to that, Can you?

    Exam time is in full swing in our house and the little man needs to be fed every half hour. And yours truly is happy to oblige, though his idea of snacking is quite different from mine! But these Quinoa Orange Muffins passed with flying colors.

    Lightly sweetened with raw sugar, infused with loads of fresh orange zest,  crammed with dark chocolate and chewy bits of candied oranges. These were a treat indeed. And so healthy too!

    I have been meaning to experiment with making eggless bakes with flax egg... it's all over the internet! You would simply replace one egg with a mixture of 1 tablespoon flax seed powder and 3 tablespoons of water. It worked like a charm. The muffins turned out soft and fluffy, not dry at all.  Hallelujah!

    The candied oranges were a result of a DIY project I did at home. If you’d like to try making them, please hop over to my story highlights on my  INSTAGRAM . They do take a bit of time, but most of that is drying time so just keep your fingers crossed and pray for two days of good strong sun! You can, of course, just buy them off the shelf. Big supermarkets do keep a variety of dried/candied fruits. Try not skipping them though as they do add big flavor to the muffins.

      The muffins looks so tempting. Would like to try. Can we replace quinoa flour with wheat flour and almond milk with regular milk?
