Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup water
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups reduced-fat bisquick
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup molasses
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°.
Rinse quinoa (to remove any bitterness). Combine 1 cup water and quinoa in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; fluff with a fork, and set aside.
Combine Bisquick and next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a bowl; make a well in center of mixture. Combine milk, molasses, and egg in a separate bowl, stirring well. Add milk mixture, quinoa, and apricots to dry ingredients; stir just until moist.
Spoon batter into two 12-cup muffin pans coated with cooking spray (leave two cups empty in each pan), filling cups half full. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes. Remove from pans immediately; cool.
