Quinoa pea mini muffins

Do you have a picky eater on your hands? Every mom will love these quinoa pea mini muffins. The pros are endless: they are baked, they store great in the fridge AND FREEZER, and they are packed with protein and veggies. Do I have your attention yet?

Every toddler out there will love this finger food. Trying baby-led weaning? This healthy meal is easy for little fingers to pick up. The quinoa and peas are combined with an egg and shredded cheese mixture, making everything stick together great! Ever give regular quinoa to your little guy or girl? You need to break out the vacuum after, but not with this almost mess-free meal!

My son loves these quinoa pea mini muffins. They can easily be packed and transported for lunch or dinner at Grandma’s. I love making a large batch, leaving some in the fridge for the week and storing the rest in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Quinoa pea muffins 

I realized I haven’t given my son quinoa in a while, so when I had some left over from lunch, I decided to try some recipe experiments.  I want him to eat more veggies, so I knew I wanted to mix it with some greens. I didn’t want to fry anything. He loves his baked cauliflower nuggets, so I gave baked quinoa pea muffins a try. He devoured them!
