  • Preheat oven to 350 F and spray or line two 12-count muffin tins (recipe will make roughly 20).
  • In a large bowl, combine quinoa, oats, flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine coconut oil, yogurt, nonfat milk, eggs, applesauce, vanilla, and almond extract. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir just until combined. Mix in blackberries and almonds.
