• 1/4 - 1/2* cup milk
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1/8 cup butter

*I used just 1/4 cup only adjust according to the consistency.The batter should not be too thick should be pourable.

Instructions

• Measure and take quinoa in a bowl, rinse it well. Drain.
• Add 1/2 tsp oil in a sauce pan, add drained quinoa and toast for a minute. Then add 1 cup water and start cooking. Simmer the flame and cook covered for 15-20 mins.
• You will see a small tail coming out and quinoa should have absorbed all the water. After 20 mins switch off and set aside for 10 mins. Then open and fluff it up.
• To a mixing bowl - measure and add wheat flour, add cooked quinoa to it. Add baking powder, soda and required salt to it.
• Mix well and set aside.  In another mixing bowl add sugar. I used brown sugar, you can use cane sugar or even white sugar.
• Add curd and butter to it. Whisk well, add vanilla essence and cinnamon powder to it.
• Now add this  mixture to flour mixture. Mix well.
• Add milk and mix well to get a smooth lump free batter. Line muffin liners in muffin pan.

Notes

• I used brown sugar so used 3/4 cup as its less sweet, if you want you can add white sugar but reduce a bit.
• The baking time depends on the size of the muffins so check and bake accordingly.
• You can add choco chips or tutti frutti or even nuts to make it rich and yummy.
