I thought I would take a break from treats and share a healthy recipe. I love that this recipe is perfect as a snack or light meal. I chose to keep the fresh cilantro out of the bites and added it to my dipping sauce. Green leafy bits scare my boys.
makes 2 dozen bites
2 cups cooked quinoa (Follow the package directions for cooking. 1 cup uncooked= 2 cups cooked)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 medium carrot, shredded
2 scallions, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 Tablespoons rice flour or all purpose flour
1/2 teaspon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray mini muffins pans with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, stir all the ingredients until well combined. Using a small scoop or tablespoon, divide the mixture among the wells of the pan. You can fill them all the way to the top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and set. Run a knife around each bite and carefully remove from the pan. Serve with your preferred dip. (I mixed freshly chopped cilantro and sour cream.)
