Sour Cream and Banana Muffins with Quinoa
November 18, 2019 • Breads, Breakfast,
I probably make more muffins than any other baked good. They are a great way to use up leftovers – dried fruit, dairy that’s going to spoil soon, bananas that are past their prime, zucchini when your garden pumps out too much of it – and I keep them in my freezer for when my friends come over for our weekly exercise together, or for Sunday mornings when I want one with my coffee, or for when out of town guests come to stay.

- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked according to package directions.
Instructions
- Combine the flours with the oats, baking soda, baking powder cinnamon, salt and sugar in a large bowl and stir to mix well.
