Almond Quinoa Muffins
Original Recipe by Veganomicon
The original recipe called for oil, i subbed for smashed banana. Can also use unsweetened apple sauce (I was out!). Worked great! These muffins were moist and delicious.
Instead of dried fruit in the recipe I wanted something more delectable so I subbed for Stevia Sweetened Vegan Chocolate Chips.
