Ernährung
Zutaten und Substitutionen
You only need a handful of ingredients for this recipe. Here’s how to pick them.

- Selbstaufsteigendes Mehl – The baking powder in this flour makes the muffins. You can make your own by combining all-purpose flour and baking powder. For a gluten-free option, use my glutenfreier Umwandler Vergiss aber das Backpulver nicht.
- Leichtes Olivenöl – To add moisture and richness. Any neutral-flavored oil works, or you can replace half with plain yogurt for added protein and reduced fat.
- Mandelmilch – To add moisture. Soy milk can be used to increase protein and nutrient content. Any plant-based milk or even dairy milk will work.
- Gekochte Quinoa – This provides protein and texture. Ensure it’s cooled to prevent issues with the batter. Soak it for some time to remove its pectin.
- Baby Spinat – To add nutrients and color. Finely chopped kale or arugula is a good substitute if you like it.
- Roasted Red Bell Peppers – To add sweetness and flavor. Sundried tomatoes or sunflower seeds can be used as alternatives.
- Grüne Oliven – They add a salty, briny flavor. Black olives, kalamata olives, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, or almonds are suitable substitutes.
- Zwiebelpulver – This brings savory flavor. Fresh minced onion, or shallots that have been sauteed until soft will work.
- Knoblauchpulver – Fresh minced garlic that has been sauteed until soft will work.
- Milchfreier Käse – To (optionally) add flavor and richness. Dairy-free cheddar or feta are good options. Any cheese can be used, but it would require adjusting the salt.

Carines Backtipps
Ich möchte Ihnen noch ein paar Tipps für perfekte Muffins geben.
- Gleichmäßige Verteilung – Use an ice cream scoop for even batter distribution in the muffin pan.
- Topping Variations – Sprinkle seeds or chopped nuts on top before baking for added texture.
- Gemüsesorte – Add finely chopped carrots or other vegetables for added nutrients.
- Kräutermischung – Add fresh or dried herbs like thyme or rosemary for enhanced flavor.
- Muffin Test – Use a toothpick to test for doneness in multiple muffins, as baking times can vary.
- Kühlzeit – Allow muffins to cool completely on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
- Herzhafte Gewürze – Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.






Hallo,
Can I use almond flour? If so, what other ingredients should I use with the almond flour to make it work.
Vielen Dank!
No, almond flour has no starch or gluten, it won’t firm up the batter will stay liquid
Delicious and easy to make! I hade to make my own self-rising flour. I substituted walnut oil, carrots instead of spinach, kalamati olives and feta cheese. It’s a Greek inspired flavor ✨️ Thanks for providing the recipe!!
Hört sich lecker an!

I was hesitant to make this recipe. I’m new to cooking with quinoa and had tried a different recipe prior to this one. I wish I found this recipe first but my gosh! it is delicious! my whole family loved them even my picky kid. my husband said they sorta remind him of cornbread. I was out of garlic powder so used garlic and herb seasoning instead and toasted bell peppers on the stove top. so good! Definitely going to be a repeat here. thank you!!
It’s so nice to hear that, thank you!
love your recipes! but ever since i had to turn gluten free i am struggling.
i dont want to use non natural gluten free flours so your converter does not help me so much.
i usually mix flours, like corn and buckwheat etc… would you have a suggestion based on naturally gluten free flours?
I have a few specific gluten-free recipes using only buckwheat flour, millet, or chickpea flour. Search the website to try those. It’s the safest for you, if you want the recipe to not fail. It’s impossible to adapt my other recipes without my gluten-free converter using your flour blend.
love to try this
Lass mich wissen, wie es läuft!
still to bake these
Ich freue mich auf Ihr Feedback dazu!
You are amazing! I really love your videos and your generosity to share so abundantly from pictures and videos and instructions! I am a vegan and I still struggle with making things healthy to eat, especially when I crave sweets, I end up going to the unhealthy stuff but still vegan and you have really inspired me to eat healthier, I thank you with all my heart!
That’s the most beautiful thing I read this morning! Thank you.
Absolutely delish . I added roasted garlic and onions and pureed it and added to the recipe .
Your addition sounds fantastic!
Love these muffins, super yummy, easy to make but I’m wondering how they are considered high protein? Is it a typo?
If you swap out the peppers for the nuts, then you get protein .
True, but the highest protein swap will be hemp seeds!
Yes, it’s a typo and I am glad you spotted it! thank you so much.
