This healthy take on the popular pumpkin muffins cleverly adds several nutritious ingredients into the batter to make these baked desserts a guilt-free treat. These muffins are also dairy-free making them an ideal fall dessert for those with dietary restrictions.
These Skinny Pumpkin Quinoa Muffins are packed with flavor and taste despite being made with quinoa and other wholesome ingredients. The batter contains a flax egg made from water and flax meal combined with a mashed banana and non-dairy milk to bind the dough. Instead of all-purpose flour, these muffins contain a mix of oat flour, quinoa flakes and almond flour which are much healthier substitutes. The muffins are sweetened with maple syrup, vanilla, spices and pumpkin puree.
