Quinoa Hazelnut
Muffins Created by: Pam Ruggles
1 cup quinoa flour
1 cup arrowroot or tapioca flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup hazelnut or almond butter
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 cup water
1/3 cup oil
1/3 cup agaves nectar or honey
½ cup chopped frozen cherries (optional)
Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix all wet
ingredients thoroughly in another bowl. Add wet ingredients to the dry
ingredients and stir just until mixed. Drop batter into greased muffin tin. Bake at 350˚ for 15-20 minutes

powder and soda than someone at a lower elevation or sea level would need. At
those levels perhaps 1 ¾ tsp of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of baking soda
would work better.
