Gluten free quinoa and raisin cup cakes

Hi everyone, here's some cup cakes I made earlier and I used ground quinoa and GF self raising flour, I grind my own quinoa as quinoa flour is expensive and harder to come by so its a quick whizz in my coffee grinder. I also put a little boiling water onto the raisins and put in the microwave for 2 mins with a pinch of nutmeg, this makes the fruit softer and helps to stop it sinking.

Here's the recipe:

110G Self raising GF flour

55g ground quinoa

110g butter

2 large eggs

100g brown sugar

150g dried raising

1 t/s baking powder

Pinch of mixed spice

Whiz it all up in a food processor and put in a muffin tray and baked for approximately 15 mins 175C until cooked through.

They are best served with a nice cup of tea, enjoy the rest of your day folks and stay safe now. 🌈😊

They look really good Jerry and what excellent ingredients, adding quinoa is good. Not only are they tasty they have extra protein in them.

Bet they taste good.

Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your evening.

Thanks Alicia they’re a healthy treat in my opinion as quinoa is a complete food so has all the nutrients our bodies need.

You stay safe and have a great week now. 🌈😊

They really are Jerry and quinoa has a lot of benefits and that's the reason why I'd rather eat that than any kind of pasta etc.

You have a good one as well, the sun is still shining.
