Quinoa Chocolate Chip Muffins

Do you ever look for ways to eat chocolate for breakfast?
A handful of stevia-sweetened chocolate chips will do the trick, providing that chocolate flavour that you crave without a bunch of sugar. Add some to a blended protein shake, mix into a bowl of oatmeal, or add to grain-free mini muffins.

Ah yes, any day that starts with chocolate is a day that’s bound to be great :)
These mini muffins use cooked quinoa in place of traditional flours along with some of those stevia-sweetened chocolate chips. It adds wonderful protein, fiber, complex carbs and a nice texture. Making a big batch of quinoa on the weekend to keep in the fridge makes it quick and easy to use cooked quinoa in your cooking all week long.
And enjoy a bite of chocolate as a healthy start to your day!

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour

  • 1 (15.66 oz) can coconut milk, canned and full-fat
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (stevia sweetened).  Dark Chocolate preferred

  2. Combine the quinoa, almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
