How To Make incan sunrise muffins
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 6-count large muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Step 2In a small bowl, cover the raisins with hot water and allow to soak while you make the muffin batter.
-
Step 3Using a whisk, mix together the flour, cane sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a large mixing bowl.
-
Step 4Using a wooden spoon, stir in the carrot, zucchini, apple, coconut, almonds and quinoa into the flour mixture.
-
Step 5In a small mixing bowl, beat eggs, oil and vanilla extract together. Pour this into the flour mixture and stir just until uniformly combined. Drain raisins, then fold them into the batter.
-
Step 6Using a muffin scoop, evenly divide the batter into each of the 12 cavities of the tins. Bake muffins for 22-25 minutes, or until a tester comes out with just a few crumbs on it.
-
Step 7Allow baked muffins to cool in the tins for a few minutes, then remove muffins to a wire rack to finish cooling. Wrap any uneaten muffins tightly to prevent them from drying out.
