1
Heat oven to 400u00b0 F. Lightly grease a regular muffin tin (or a standard loaf pan or three mini-loaf pans, if you prefer).
-
2
Beat the oil and brown sugar together; then add the eggs, the flaxseed, and the vanilla and beat well until the batter is glossy and smooth.
-
3
Add the applesauce and the quinoa. Stir to combine thoroughly.
-
4
Stir together the flours, wheat germ, soda, salt and spices, to combine well.
-
5
Add the dry ingredients, the nuts, and the dried fruit to the wet ingredients. Swiftly stir with a large spoon, taking care not to overbeat.
-
6
Pour the batter in the prepared muffin tin or loaf pan(s).
-
7
Combine the raw sugar and a few good dashes of cinnamon to make the topping. Sprinkle it on the muffins or loaf (or loaves).
-
8
Bake for 25 minutes if making muffins; if making the standard loaf, bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, and the mini-loaves for 30 minutes. In each instance, test by gently pressing your index finger in the middle of the loaf or a muffin. If it quickly springs back, remove from the oven. If you create a little depression, continue to bake for another 5 minutes in the case of a standard loaf, or 2 minutes for either the mini-loaves or muffins. Check and repeat again if necessary.

9
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least ten minutes before removing.
