I’ve never added anything I shouldn’t have done, but I’ve forgotten flour in a beetroot cake and sugar in some cupcakes when I was younger… Luckily with the sugar I realised and just kind of had to mix a little in each case before we put them in oven!

In reply to ASHLEY. Hi Ashley! I'm not sure sesame or olive oil would be a good fit for this recipe. Regular vegetable oil or coconut oil would be other good substitutions instead of the canola!

can you substitute the canola oil for sesame oil or olive oil?

In reply to Candace.

Hi Candace! 2 cups after it’s cooked. Usually cooking one cup quinoa with two cups of water will get you a little more than 2 cups of cooked quinoa. I am obsessed with quinoa – I add it to almost everything, lol! I hope you like these muffins!! Check out some of my other quinoa recipes too to use up your stash! 🙂

I am new to the quinoa world and bought a bunch for a chili recipe that turned out nasty!! I am anxiously looking for recipes to use up the rest. Is it 2 cups once it’s cooked, or 2 cups before it’s cooked?

Oh my goodness these look sooooo good! I can’t wait to try them! I’m always hunting for creative ways to use quinoa, I’ll try it with sprouted flours and quinoa in the very near future! You’ve got some great ideas here Jen!

In reply to shantal. Hi Shantal! Some egg replacements you might try: 1/3 cup applesauce or 1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree or 1/2 pureed banana or 1 Tbsp. ground flaxseeds mixed with 3 Tbsp. water. I haven't personally tried this recipe using any of these replacements, but they are options that might work! I hope this helps!

Thanks for the great recipe. Is there an alternative to the egg that I could use?

In reply to Mary. Is the frozen quinoa pre-cooked? The quinoa just needs to be cooked and cooled for this recipe. Let me know if you have any other comments, Mary!

Can you use frozen Quinoa or does it have to be dry?

I’m going to try these today! They look great. I love quinoa too. I have a great meatloaf recipe that uses quinoa instead of breadcrumbs. I once was making a mock lasagna casserole which calls for cottage cheese and I didn’t realize I purchased cottage cheese with pineapple tidbits until after I served it to my guests:) That was a strange flavor combo!
