Apple Cinnamon Quinoa Bites-Quinoa Breakfast Bites-Quinoa Recipes

April 2, 2015 by PadhuSankar 6 Comments

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know that I have written a lot about quinoa. Quinoa (pronounced as KEEN-wah) is a rich source of protein and fiber. In short, it is a powerhouse of nutrition. It is not only versatile, it also tastes wonderful. These Quinoa apple bites are very healthy, delicious and also very easy to make. Cook quinoa, combine with the other ingredients, spoon the mixture into a muffin tin and bake. That’s it!! You can even cook quinoa ahead of time. These little quinoa bites are perfect for breakfast or snack. When I found the recipe here, I could not wait to try it. The combination of quinoa, apples, cinnamon and organic powdered jaggery was simply awesome.

When the muffins are done, remove from the oven and leave it to cool. When warm, just peel off the paper and dig in!! I loved it warm. Try these bites and enjoy!

Note – Apples should be sweet. I use organic powdered jaggery as I did not have brown sugar at home. With jaggery it tasted awesome.

      Egg is used for binding here. So egg is necessary.
