Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
freshly cracked black pepper , to taste
1 1/4 cups cooked quinoa
1 large egg
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/3 cups plain greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed to remove excess water
1 cup tightly packed chopped arugula or 1 cup baby spinach
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese , plus 3 tbsp reserved
3 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375. Line muffin tins with muffin cups.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk or sift together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cumin, salt and black pepper.
3. In a separate large bowl, with a wooden spoon combine the cooked quinoa, eggs, olive oil and Greek yogurt. Gently stir in the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in the grated zucchini, chopped arugula, cilantro, Cheddar and Parmesan. Mix just until well mixed.
4. Fill muffin cups almost until full, then sprinkle with the reserved grated Cheddar. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until very well browned and puffy. Let cool in muffin tins for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
