These were originally called pumpkin cheddar muffins, but I live in Paris (news flash) and I didn’t have the heart to run to the nearest British grocery store to get extra sharp cheddar.

I don’t know about you, but I think the idea of quinoa muffins is great: it brings a healthy touch to the whole muffin situation.
