Quinoa & Turmeric Muffins

0 · · Leave a Comment

Hi there!

Does muffin for breakfast sound unhealthy?

Well, my answer is, “Not at all!” (Especially, when it is a fresh, warm quinoa & turmeric muffin)

Today I am so excited to share with you one of our absolute favorite breakfast idea for cool mornings. A few years I found it on the amazing blog GreenKitchenStories.com, and since then I can not stop making them over and over. I experimented with the original recipe a lot, changed some ingredients and quantities, and now I am proud to say that I found my perfect one. It is time to share it, right?

These muffins are delicious, naturally sweetened and gluten-free. Warming combination of turmeric, cardamom and nutmeg makes them incredibly flavorful and yes, beautifully yellow.

I usually serve them warm with some fresh fruits and a few spoons of plant-based yogurt. Mmm…
