Figs Quinoa Muffins

These morning glories are packed with nutrition in every bite. Red quinoa is not just nutritious ,but also adds a nice crunch to the muffins along with sweet and mellow dried figs. Greek yogurt makes these nice and moist. The sweetness of raisins and apple sauce is just enough to make these lightly sweet and free of any added sugar.
