Cinna-Coco Quinoa Bites Recipe

Cinna-Coco Quinoa Bites Recipe

  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 2/3 cup quinoa
  • 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 24 non-stick mini-muffin cups.
  2. Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Stir coconut, brown sugar, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Add quinoa and eggs to coconut mixture; stir until completely combined. Drop coconut mixture by the tablespoonful into prepared muffin cups.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until slightly crisp and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
