In a large bowl, sift together the flour mix, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until just incorporated.
Gently fold in the cooked quinoa and the apples and mix until only the large lumps are gone.
Let batter sit for about 10 minutes before filling the pan.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

The recipe can be used for mini muffins - just portion batter into 3 mini muffin tins and reduce bake time to 10-15 minutes.
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before filling up the muffin cups.
