Savory Quinoa Muffins (Gluten-Free) image

These savory, gluten-free muffins are easy to make, and a great breakfast to eat on-the-go. I use as much organic and/or local ingredients as possible in all my recipes. I cook these ahead of time, wrap them separately in waxed paper, then freeze them to heat later for quick, high-protein breakfasts.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chicken broth
½ cup quinoa
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese
2 jumbo eggs
½ cup bacon bits
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon minced garlic
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners, adding extra grease to the bottoms of the cups.
  • Cook chicken broth and quinoa together in a rice cooker or bring to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Mix quinoa, spinach, Colby-Jack cheese, eggs, bacon bits, onion powder, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and white pepper together in a bowl; spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
