Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F and lightly spray a mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl or food processor, mix the cooked quinoa, broccoli, and cheese together.
2 cups quinoa,
1 1/2 cups broccoli,
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat cheddar cheese
In a smaller bowl, beat the eggs and mix together the garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and baking powder.
2 large eggs,
2 garlic cloves,
1/4 tsp salt,
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper,
1/4 tsp onion powder,
1/4 tsp paprika,
1/2 tsp baking powder
Add the egg mixture to the quinoa mixture and mix until well combined. (add truffle oil at this time if you are using)
1 tbsp truffle oil
Spoon one tablespoon of mixture into each mini muffin cup and lightly press down the mixture into each cup as you go.
Bake for about 20-22 minutes or until the bites are slightly browned and firm.
Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
