Broccoli & Quinoa Bites {recipe}

Quinoa is one of my favorite foods to eat because it is a "super food" packed full of great things and it's very versatile, you can make it taste like anything! I wanted to find a recipe to make with it for us but also that Norah could safely eat as well.  After searching online and finding several recipes on Pinterest I sort of combined them all and ended up with something very yummy! At least we think so!

Ingredients
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup of cheese (I normally use cheddar)
2 eggs
1 cup of finely chopped broccoli
seasonings to taste (I use pepper, pink salt, garlic powder & ground mustard)

First, cook your quinoa according to instructions on the box.  It's usually one cup of uncooked quinoa to two cups water, bring to boil, cover and simmer until water is absorbed.  While it's cooking, wash and finely chop the broccoli leaving out stems.

Next, combine cooked quinoa, chopped broccoli, cheese, eggs & seasonings.  Stir very well to make sure the egg and seasonings are mixed with all the other ingredients. 

Coat a mini muffin tin with cooking spray, I like to use a coconut oil spray.  Fill the cups up with the mixture and cook on 350 for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. 

 

..and Voila! :) Norah scarfs these down and they are so easy to throw in a container for on the go.  This recipe makes two dozen mini muffins.  Let me know what you think if you make them! Even if you don't like them! :)
