Schokoladen-Quinoa-Muffins mit choco:MAGIC

Chocolate Quinoa Muffins with choco:MAGIC

choco:MAGIC combines high-quality cocoa with selected plant substances such as triphala extract and dulse algae. The cocoa enhances the muffins' intense chocolate flavor, while triphala is traditionally valued for supporting balanced digestion. Dulse provides natural minerals and harmoniously rounds out the recipe.

Effect on the constitutions

Lung (Wind/Energy)

The natural sweetness of the dates, the moist texture, and the nourishing properties of the quinoa have a calming and stabilizing effect on Lung. Cocoa and the gently warming components of choco:MAGIC also promote grounding and well-being.

Tripa (Fire/Metabolism)

Triphala is traditionally valued for its balancing properties and harmonizes well with Tripa. The cocoa provides a mildly stimulating and warming effect, making the muffins overall balanced yet invigorating.

Beken (Earth/Water)

Quinoa is one of the lighter grain alternatives and supports Beken without weighing it down unnecessarily. Cocoa and the mineral-rich dulse algae add extra activation and vitality to the recipe and help counteract heaviness.

 

Ingredients for 6 muffins

  • 100 g quinoa
  • 60 g Medjool dates (pitted)
  • 12 g cocoa powder
  • 3 ml (approx. 6 g) choco:MAGIC
  • A little ground vanilla
  • approx. 90 ml plant-based milk
  • 1 tbsp mild olive oil
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 6 pieces of dark chocolate (optional)

Preparation

  1. Wash the quinoa thoroughly and then soak it in water for at least 12 hours or overnight.
  2. Then drain the soaking water, rinse the quinoa thoroughly and let it drain well.
  3. Add the quinoa together with the dates, cocoa powder, choco:MAGIC, vanilla, plant-based milk and olive oil to a blender.
  4. Blend everything into as smooth a mixture as possible.
  5. Finally, stir in the baking powder.
  6. Divide the mixture among 6 muffin tins.
  7. Optionally, press one piece of dark chocolate lightly into the surface of each muffin.
  8. Bake at 180 °C with top and bottom heat for about 30 minutes.
  9. Let cool briefly and enjoy.

Tip: The muffins taste even moister the next day. The combination of dates, cocoa, quinoa and the plant-based ingredients in choco:MAGIC creates a particularly aromatic, fudgy texture reminiscent of mini chocolate brownies.
