- Preheat oven to 190C and line 12 muffin tray holes with muffin cases.
- Combine cooled quinoa with 1/4 cup cacao/cocoa powder and 1/4 cup coconut sugar. Stir through the eggs and spoon batter into the prepared muffin tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
