Pumpkin, Zucchini & Quinoa Muffins

On a wintery cold weekend, there's nothing I like better than keeping warm baking healthy treats! Seeing how I had a container of left over cooked quinoa that was just sitting in my fridge I found a recipe to put it to good use. 
I baked some delicious Pumpkin, zucchini & quinoa muffins... No added sugar and so filling. Perfect for a snack :)

2 cups oats flour (i blend rolled oats into a powder)
1/2 tspn baking soda
1/2 tspn salt
3 tspn cinnamon 

Wet:
1 zucchini grated 
1 cup cooked quinoa 
1 cup pumpkin purée (boil and mash pumpkin)
1 banana ripe
4 egg whites
1 egg 
1/2 cup almond milk 

Other:
1/2 cup sultanas 
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
2-3 tblspn stevia sugar 

Instructions:

Preheat over to 180C and place patty pans in muffin tray.

Combine the dry ingredients and set aside 

Blend the wet ingredients in the blender and then combine the wet and dry in a large bowl, stir until smooth. Add water if needed.

Stir in the sultanas, pumpkin seeds and stevia.
