Quinoa, Spinach + Feta Muffins

Quinoa, Spinach + Feta Muffins

My quinoa spinach and feta muffins from my cookbook Simple Healthy Recipes are a delicious and satisfying option for anytime of day, offering a host of health benefits. High in protein, gluten-free and perfect for balancing energy, supporting muscle function, and promoting overall wellness. See the full recipe below.

Quinoa is a complete protein containing all essential amino acids, making it ideal for muscle repair and sustained energy. Eggs add more protein and vitamins such as B12 and D. Spinach is rich in iron, fibre and antioxidants that support immune function and heart health. I love using feta to boosts calcium and protein. Together, these ingredients create a delicious, high-protein, gluten-free snack, or meal.
