What would you recommend for temperature and time if you baked these? This recipe looks delicious! Thank you for sharing it.
I would recommend a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. It will probably take anywhere from 20-40 minutes to bake. I’m not sure since I’ve never tried it, so just keep an eye on it! 🙂

Could I use quick oatmeal or something like that in place of quinoa flakes? Can’t find them in our small town,
You can try but it might cook differently… I think quick oats are probably the most similar thing to quinoa flakes though 🙂
Hope you like the muffins!
I’ve made this a few times with frozen blueberries as the recipe calls for and really like it, especially how quick and easy it is to make on mornings where I’m too lazy or too hungry to make anything more complicated and time consuming. Today I decided to try making it with frozen raspberries instead along with some almond extract (plus the vanilla) and chopped pecans sprinkled on top…I absolutely LOVED it!!!
