Banana Quinoa Muffins

Quinoa, pronounced KEEN-wha, was once the sacred staple of the Incas. The Incas called Quinoa the Mother Grain. It can be substituted for rice, wheat, corn and barley in recipes. It is the highest in protein of all the grains. Contains 10 essential amino acids, low in sodium, high in calcium iron. Quinoa is a wonder food for building strength and endurance.

Organic Quinoa Flakes are smooth and delicious alone or topped with your favorite sweetener, cinnamon or fruit. For a delicious change, cook in apple Juice instead of water and let it simmer a little longer.   Due to the relatively high oil and fat content of Quinoa, the flakes should be stored in glass jars in the refrigerator.  Keeping cool and dry will extend the shelf life.
