You know my passion for quinoa recipes, especially adding quinoa into breakfast and desserts like in my quinoa brownies or quinoa breakfast bake. It’s a great alternative to my donuts de proteína e Aveia overnight com proteína em pó if you want protein but don’t want to use protein powder.

Banana Quinoa Muffins
Ingredientes
- 1⅓ copos Quinoa - uncooked, rinsed (note 1)
- 3 média Bananas - 270g/9.5 oz peeled banana
- 1 ½ copos Aveia rápidas - (nota 2)
- ½ xícara Açúcar de cana não refinado - (nota 3)
- 1 colher de chá Canela
- 2 colheres de chá Fermento em pó
- 1 colher de chá Bicarbonato de sódio
- ¼ colher de chá sal
- 1 colher de chá de extrato de baunilha
- ¼ xícara Óleo de coco derretido - (nota 4)
- 2 copos Leite de amêndoa - (nota 5)
Instruções
- You need a high-speed blender for this recipe, or the quinoa won't blend into flour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper liner cases and lightly spray oil in the cases. Set it aside.
- Peel and weigh the amount of peeled banana required by the recipe for precision and to avoid dry or overly moist muffins.
- In a sieve, rinse the raw quinoa under cold water.
- In a blender, add raw, rinsed, drained quinoa, quick oats, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, bananas, salt, vanilla extract, almond milk, and melted coconut oil.
- Blend on the high-speed setting – speed 10 of a Vitamix Pro – for 40 seconds or until the batter is smooth with no pieces of quinoa.
- Rest the batter for 5 minutes in the blender before filling the muffin paper liners.
- Fill each muffin up to 3/4 their level. The recipe makes 16 muffins, so I used two 12-muffin pans. You can set aside the remaining batter and cook it after the first batch is cooked.
- Bake the muffins on the center rack for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center come out clean.
- Cool down on the wire rack for 30-40 minutes before serving.
Armazenamento
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days in a sealed box. Or freeze them in zip-lock bags and thaw the day before at room temperature.

Why You Need To Bake With Quinoa
The reason I love quinoa so much is not really because it’s of its taste. However, I think quinoa has a slightly earthy flavor that takes some time to appreciate. It’s very much an acquired taste. But, I love quinoa for its nutritional profile.
Getting all your essential amino acids on a vegan diet can be challenging without supplements. And that’s why you should add quinoa to your plate. Quinoa is what we call a complete fonte de proteína vegana. It contains all the amino acids you need on a dieta vegan.
So if you are like me and are not a big fan of quinoa, try adding it to sweet recipes! You will get all its benefits without even noticing you are eating quinoa.
Ingredientes e Substituições
- Raw Quinoa – You can use any color of quinoa. I use white quinoa because it makes lovely golden brown muffins that kids will eat without asking me what’s in there.
- Aveia rápidas – You can use old-fashioned aveia or quick oats, but the former makes the batter a little drier.
- Leite de amêndoa – Or any leite à base de plantas you love like oat milk, hemp milk, or soy milk.
- de extrato de baunilha – To add a delicious flavor.
- Fermento em pó e Bicarbonato de sódio – for some rise.
- Óleo de coco derretido – Coconut oil is my preferred option, but you can also use canola oil or melted vegan butter.
- Açúcar de cana não refinado – or coconut sugar.
- Canela – para agradar o paladar.
- Bananas maduras ou amarelo bananas – peel the banana and weigh before making the muffins, so you are sure the batter will be the right consistency.
You can stir some delicious ingredients into the batter before pouring it into the pan.
Add in half a cup of the below for a nice crunch:
- Chips de chocolate amargo
- Chopped Walnuts or Chopped Pecans
- Passas Secas
Instruções de armazenamento
You can store the Quinoa Muffins in the fridge for up to 4 days in a sealed box. It’s also possible to freeze them in zip-lock bags and thaw them the day before at room temperature.
More Quinoa Recipes
Below are more quinoa recipes for you to try:
can you replace sugar with maple syrup?
I don’t think it’d work, the batter might be too wet with maple syrup.
Don’t have a Vitamix blender. What are other options here?
Unfortunately you need a blender.
I am sugar free, do you think using apple puree would be a suitable replacement for the sugar?
Unfortunately no, applesauce will make the muffins ultra dense and packed. But you can replace sugar by erythritol or allulose they firm up muffins and add natural sweeteness.
I just made these.Halved the recipe to try a small batch first.They turned out exactly as in ur pics and are delicious.Great option for a cheat day bite.
Can you use regular oats instead of quick oats in this recipe?
Yes, but they come out a bit more dry
