    Hey Lance! Glad you liked them! You can cut the maple syrup, but I might try replacing it with applesauce. You'll need that liquid/moisture.

    Made these and loved them but just wondering, am I able to remove the maple syrup? I am trying to not have as much sweeteners and I would like to see what I can get away with 🙂

    Hey Elena! Okay, it could be a couple things. First and easiest, you might just need to bake them a little longer. Wait until the tops are just golden and the edges a little browned. Second, it could be a quinoa issue. If you make your quinoa with too much water and it comes out mushy that will make wet muffins. When you're cooking the quinoa, watch it. Once the edges are translucent it's done — drain it if all the water hasn't already been absorbed and next time use less water. I think the package directions always call for way too much water. It should be a bit fluffy when it's done, not gummy. And lastly the quinoa can be warm when you add it to the mix, but not steaming hot. Hope that helps!

    Hi Katie

    I made these last night. Are they supposed to be moist and mushy? I'm not sure if I didn't bake them long enough or if they are supposed to be that way. I did the 20 mins at 375 degrees. Am I supposed to wait until the cooked quinoa cools before I mix and bake?
