- 1/4 - 1/2* cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

*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 teaspoon 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.
- Scoop out the batter and fill in the liners till 3/4th.
- Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 18-20 mins. Bake it gets golden brown.

- 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.
