This morning we\u2019re having a batch of German poppy seed marzipan muffins with quinoa. These are wonderfully almond-scented, super-duper moist and fluffy but have a heartier texture than your regular poppy seed muffins thanks to the added quinoa. <\/p>\n

\"marzipan<\/p>\n

Quinoa makes these marzipan muffins extra hearty! The perfect breakfast muffin for the cozy season.<\/h2>\n

If you don’t like quinoa, you can just skip but trust me, the quinoa makes these marzipan muffins better. One tip for quinoa in baking recipes and generally. When cooking, try using a bit less water! I generally disagree with the basic cooking instructions given on quinoa packages, as they call for too much water, and might explain why you don\u2019t like quinoa.<\/p>\n

However, I feel for all quinoa skeptics, muffins are definitely the best approach to this ancient grain.<\/p>\n

It took me a few tries to really nail this recipe down. It is a German muffin recipe that I have made a billion times. Marzipan<\/a> and Poppy Seeds is a classic German flavor combination. Have you tried my poppy seed marzipan sandwich cookies<\/a>? You gots to!  In Germany, I would use a marzipan flavored yogurt in the batter but you can use any yogurt that you want. Add a couple of drops of almond essence if you’re a fan! <\/p>\n

The marzipan is simply rolled into small balls and added to the muffin batter. I use my homemade marzipan but storebought works just fine. (Learn how to make marzipan<\/a> at home)<\/p>\n

On to the next important ingredient! Poppy Seeds! <\/p>\n

Are Poppy Seeds good for you? <\/h2>\n

Yes, they are a rich source of thiamin, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and zinc. Poppy seeds are known to relieve exhaustion, decrease anxiety, and aid a good night’s sleep. We can all use that during the holiday season! You can buy whole poppy seeds and grind them up in your food processor or spice mill. Ground, they add way more moisture to baked goods than left whole. German Baker secret! <\/p>\n

How to store these marzipan muffins? <\/h2>\n

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. These muffins are also very easy to freeze.<\/p>\n

Simply place in the oven or microwave briefly to defrost.<\/p>\n
